It’s hard to think of a single act by a single human that instantly damaged as many plans, careers, dreams in as many places around the globe For a supreme (and cruel) narcissist, the rush must be exquisite The whole world has no choice but to watch this wretched man

I've never seen such a crass climate change signal. A heatwave up to 10C hotter because of our burning of fossil fuels hit Central Asia last month. And this is only now, with just under 1.5C global warming. www.worldweatherattribution.org/extraordinar...

Correct. The tariffs are not economic policy, but instruments of domination. To Trump, every relationship has a winner & loser. He is using US economic might to bully & dominate every trading partner, individually. Each must now scrape & plead for special permission not to be punished.

Australia’s federal election will be May 3. If you want a safer climate & much greater protection for biodiversity, & you should because everything depends upon this, you can make that happen by preferential voting! In this order (best to worst) Greens/Teals & sensible Indies Labor LNP ToP/PHON

They are taking away the right to protest. They are taking away the right to express political opinions. They are taking away the right to protect your health. These are all fundamental human rights. Do not be silent about losing them.

Update on Long COVID research funding: Per researcher and advocate @themegascope.bsky.social, funding for at least 45 different RECOVER studies have been terminated. RECOVER is a $1.7 billion program that serves as the single largest federal funding mechanism for long COVID research.

Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal. Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

Holy shit. "With the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II approaching, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba intends to establish an expert panel tasked with examining why Japan pushed ahead with a reckless war that caused catastrophic damage." That's... a change in policy. For the better.

A good thing that happened today was receiving a text from a friend who does education research telling me that the USDE grant he worked on was reinstated, following a lawsuit that his university filed.

They know this was a stratospheric fuckup. Democrats need to be loud, clear and ferocious to keep this story alive. Everyone can understand why this is bad (some will choose to pretend it isn't, don't worry about them). Demand resignations. Threaten consequences. Be forceful. Don't back down.

Senior officials brazenly admit to using disappearing message apps for Govt business - a clear violation of law (a crime under s24(1) of the Archives Act). The bureaucratic lawlessness that enabled #robodebt is alive and well. The AFP should act. #auspol

I’ve seen a Palestinian father tenderly cradle and stroke the decapitated head of his toddler through my screen this morning while blogging about tax cuts and Australian politics and I’m not sure I’ve ever been more outside my body. How can anyone still defend what Israel is doing? How???

For unidentified men in plainclothes to grab someone off the street as punishment for their exercise of free speech and for that someone to appear in a detention facility more than 1,500 miles from where they were taken -- any human rights lawyer will tell you, this is forced disappearance.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Peter Dutton is exaggerating how much Australians will save from his plan to cut fuel prices for a year, economists say, as exclusive analysis shows the richest households will benefit the most from his pre-election cost of living pitch.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Since his 2016 campaign, Trump’s relationship with the Confederacy & white supremacy has been too close. Forget about simply putting an end to race-based affirmative action & DEI. Team Trump appears determined to turn the clock back to the 1950s, if not earlier.

Be fair, Greg. Dutton is not just promising $20k a year for blokes to take their mates golfing. It's to take their mates to the 19th hole where they can have liquid lunch discussions about how much better things were when migrants, blackfellas, and the women folk knew their place.

If you let first home owners access their super to buy a house, this will act like a super charged first home buyer grants. Pushing up house prices and stripping people’s super accounts.

Basically Dutton's speech is migrants are bad and the cause of your problems, and also we need a lot more fossil fuels being pumped out while giving $20k a year for blokes to take their mates golfing

Your job today is to come up with a plan for what you will personally do if ICE shows up at your workplace, school, or place of worship, and tries to disappear someone. Talk about it with friends and coworkers. Write down phone numbers you’ll need. Role-play scenarios. Practice what you will say.
