This is morally indefensible and strategically bankrupt. It’s just letting people die on purpose and it makes us weaker in every way.

There’s an outbreak of Ebola in Uganda. There’s an outbreak of Marburg’s disease in Tanzania. Thousand of American diplomats leaving their posts abruptly. We just look so weak and a bit nuts. Foreign policy is hard, but this is just a very big early blunder.

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

Everyone seems to be framing Trump's freeze on federal grants as a Constitutional fight over powers of the purse & whether presidents can disregard Congressional appropriations. It is that. But also at stake is the fundamental validity of government contracts! I see much less discussion on this... 🧵

Firing independent watchdogs is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Removes another obstacle to corruption and abuse of power www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

It's a super stressful time because a lot of what Trump is doing makes the world way more chaotic and dangerous, which is already becoming more chaotic and dangerous because of climate change.

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

I do feel like we forget that a mere 100 years ago 20% of children in America just fucking died.

There is a concerted effort underway to download and preserve as many federal geoscience data sets as possible. The fact that this has to happen at all is a blistering warning of the massive threat posed to #science by the GOP and Trump.

Striking shift in GOP donor base - top 400 donors now provide over 60% of GOP funds, nearly double 2020 levels. Both parties are far too reliant on mega-donors. But the GOP is now on another level. (1/n)

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
