FDR--who calmed an economic panic, pulled us from the Depression, and built the great alliance that won WWII--died 80 years ago this weekend. Just saying.

The big/small men of MAGA are apocalyptic fantasists. The darkest--and in some ways most light-filled--take on on our dire moment comes from @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Some conservatives--the WSJ editorial board, for instance--seem to be deciding that Trump may not quite understand international economics. It will be interesting to see if this new skepticism extends to questioning his grasp of climate science. (Probably not). www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

The world knows about climate change mostly because of great American researchers, and that work has been largely centered at NOAA. Trump and Musk are now shutting down that brilliant work. They are contemptible, short-sighted, and sold out www.science.org/content/arti...

I think @joshtpm.bsky.social has written the best account of why universities have to stand up to Trump. If you've been given great privilege, the implicit bargain is that when the chips are down you'll behave with honor and courage talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/power...

One reason everybody likes “The Pitt” is that it is the exact opposite ethos of Trump administration, says @billmckibben.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/media/2025/0...

"The 'emergency' Trump is actually responding to—the one that motivated his Big Oil donors to donate $500m in the last election cycle—is the rapid increase in renewable energy deployment" says @billmckibben.bsky.social #climatecrisis billmckibben.substack.com/p/what-is-an...

At every other crisis in American history, the president at least tries to say something helpful and reassuring. Having caused this one, Trump just golfs and tells us to 'take our medicine.' At Third Act @thirdactorg.bsky.social we've lived long enough to know just how weird this moment is
