Gov. Ferguson Breaks Out the Shades for Beautiful Day of Taking Chainsaw to State Budget: bit.ly/3F08LaA

Zelenskyy just called Trump and Putin traitors, stupid, double crossers, and coconspirators in one breath. #FAFO #FDT #SLAVAUKRAINE

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

Firings of probationary workers at NOAA thoughout the agency -- climate offices, yes, but also meteorologists at the National Weather Service.

Republicans LIED when they said they wouldn’t cut Medicaid or touch Social Security. Trump is firing people who process Social Security checks - seniors won’t get the benefits they earned on time.   #HouseDemocrats are fighting to protect hardworking Americans’ healthcare & retirement benefits.

What she said.

To the DOJ/FBI who remain, Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda. Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials. It will not work here either. Proceed accordingly. America

HE will figure some way to blame Biden for this too. The man has never taken the responsibility for his own actions EVER!!!!!

Zelensky is a hero & that's why Trump hates him. He has more integrity, strength, & character in his little finger than Trump could ever hope for. Not to mention, he has a higher approval rating than Trump,too. Trump had to lie abt it bc he never achieved a 57% approval, ever.

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) should not be used for luxury emissions.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Cycling helps fight climate change and makes cities more livable. More profoundly, people who cycle regularly are more oriented toward the common good. Cars turn people into sociopaths; bikes reverse that.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

You know what the mid-20th century descent into facism did not have? Climate change. Do you know what is great at creating a facism positive feedback loop? Climate-linked disasters. Don't mind me I'll be learning how to distill my own liquor for when I can't afford booze or sobriety.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

It’s too bad so many people see politics as a game rather than something that literally determines whether people live or die.

Thank you, DOGE, for clearly visualizing what incredible value the American people get from their national parks. 17,700 permanent employees making an average of $81,000 a year serving 325 million visitors annually. Is there a better value in the entire federal government?

Musk Signals Willingness To Bid More Than $97 Billion To Acquire Respect

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

I got nothing for this. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Springtime for grifters. They're popping up like earthworms after a heavy rain.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

I think Musk just gave away something. He said “we are taking DOGE to Mars”. Not “America is going to Mars”. Now I understand why Musk doesn’t care about the electric car tax credit. Because he’s going to make a zillion dollars from the government taking his fake Dept of Government Excess to Mars.

Six years later and this, from the editorial board of Nature (the single highest citation-indexed science periodical in the world) is sadly once again highly relevant. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If you expressed “negative sentiment” toward insurance companies on social media following the murder of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO last month, the government was watching:

#FOSS and #Linux folks I have some audio I want to capture from an Enshittificatified Android app. I was thinking of using my laptop as a Bluetooth receiver emulating headphones. But I feel like this is a solved issue. The brute force approach is usb to headphones jack adapter I suppose

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org

Just so everyone is clea Los Angeles is under duress Mexico sends help Canada sends help Ukraine sends help Americans send help Trump elect sends insults Republicans send threats MAGA sends conspiracies MTG sends insanity Who exactly loves America Who exactly is the enemy of the people

Gotta hand it to Aaron Sorkin for this one

I just want affordable housing, walkable cities, and protected bike lanes.

So many replies like this

Agree or disagree?

There is no world where we solve climate change without consuming less, including driving less. No amount of magical paint can make a car move without substantial external energy input. Ride a bike!
