David Sligh of #WildVirginia: “It was always a fiction, told by both MVP and the #Virginia DEQ, that #MVP would or could ‘restore’ a stable environment on this pipeline path. By removing forest, ripping and blasting through the terrain... they created a wound that can never be really healed.”

Multiple forecast studies by independent groups show that for decades various types of climate models have provided actionably accurate representations of the ongoing human-driven climate change. Anyone who tells you otherwise is spreading misinformation. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how....

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength that carried our ancestors to freedom. As a descendant of enslaved Virginians, and the son and grandson of pioneering civil rights activists, this day I remember our shared history. 1/2

What happens in LA could determine whether Americans can recover any of their battered, lost or stolen civil liberties. But as I write, there are 500 Marines standing by on the President’s order to invade Los Angeles.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is VERY unpopular. No surprise when it kicks MILLIONS off of health care and food assistance to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires. Republicans are trying to ram it through by July 4th. NOW is the moment to fight back. Call your senator.

This is a bad bill and you know it, Sen. @markwarner.bsky.social. It has too many loopholes which enable corruption. The consumer protections are lousy and privilege crypto investors over regular bank customers in the event of a market crash. Shame on you for voting for this.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Non-citizens, including permanent residents, can't vote in U.S. elections. They don’t even try, because doing so could jeopardize their path to citizenship. Do you really think they’d risk their status for one vote? Trump and his minions like Stephen Miller spread lies to demonize them. Disgusting.

Still one of my very favourite books to work on and perfect for today's #FolkloreThursday theme - Treasury of Folklore: Seas and Rivers. Packed full of fabulous sea-lore and tales, and can we take a moment to appreciate the stunning cover by Joe McLaren?

The #FolkloreThursday theme today is seas and oceans! So here's a thread of some strange nautical creatures from Scottish folklore! First up, a fave, The Ceasg - a Scottish mermaid half-woman, half-salmon. In some tales, she swallowed men whole, trapping them in her stomach...🌊🧜‍♀️ 🧵
