How about some good climate news? Coal capacity in the United States has fallen dramatically since 2000, and half of remaining coal plants are set to retire in the next decade 🧪

Never forget that @nytimes.com played a major role in allowing all of this to come to pass. Its fawning interview of Curtis Yarvin, complete with a photo shoot, is yet another example of this paper elevating literal Nazis.

Sticker the egg section of your grocery store, wheatpaste the graphic below, get the information out. People don't quite understand WHY eggs are this expensive. We're on track to having zero eggs in our grocery stores. (credit to @fiveorangepips.bsky.social)

My son is a senior in high school, so we're getting lots of mail. This is from the Marines, certainly printed before 1/20/25. This photo is sort of heartbreaking and now a misrepresentation of what our #military does for those who desperately need help, thanks to an unelected billionaire.

Pro-Tip, when the Germans start breaking down in tears you’re in deep trouble. Trump must be stopped. That is the assigment, USA. We owe it to our European allies, the world at large and ourselves. From NYT👇

The European Union is preparing to announce a historic €700 billion aid package for Ukraine. The project was top secret but "accidently let out" after the US visit to EU. This is unprecedented in scale and declaws Trump & Putin's plot to force Ukraine to surrender to plunder it for its resources.🧵

So...yeah. This is why whoever advised Donald Trump to tweet that Napoleon quote doesn't know how to play checkers, let alone chess. No one in the Trump administration actually understands Americans. They really don't think non-MAGAs will fight for their country.

I know there is a lot to keep track of, but please keep your eye on MAGA influencers like Jack Pobosiec. They've pivoted from trying to divide and radicalize Americans to doing the same to Europe.

Did you know #DOGE was easily hacked today? I didn't either until now. Wild to see the mainstream media censor news. The young reporters who broke this story deserve to be read: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

What will it take to radicalize you? And yes, this is a real communication from the White House.

I told my husband that I didn't want him to spend one thin dime on #valentinesday this year. As soured as I am on #capitalism right now, the idea of buying things to express love on this one specific day has really fallen flat for me. He and my kids are making me dinner. ☺️

A really interesting read about the forgotten "Days of Rage"

If you want to know what really scares #MAGA, I submit this tweet from the bad place. Seeing left-leaning Americans arming themselves fills them with fear. The panic in this account's hateful comments is palpable. Shook. #2A #3A #resistance

Even as the falcon cannot hear the falconer, #bookstores and #libraries continue to be places where the center holds. Grateful to The Thinking Spot (Wayzata) for supporting local authors like me, and to all #indiebookstores and #libraries for being the foundational part of #democracy that they are.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

"Refuse to amplify or listen to their actions, statements or ideas." Elon Musk "calls for" the elimination of something? Who cares? My attention is a resource and I'm not giving it to him. And remember: if he were competent, he'd be very quiet and go about his evil work. He's not competent.

After years of preparations, the Baltic States today disconnected their power grids from Russia’s. Mother Russia won’t be able to blackmail them anymore.

Hey NYTimes — now you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
