You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

REMINDER: The Trump regime aren't just fascists. They are Petrofascists.* #ClimateSky 🔌💡 * Or perhaps just reptilian aliens posing as humans so they can complete their plan to terraform Earth into a warmer, higher CO2 planet. [Unlikely, sure. But you have to admit it would explain quite a bit.]

Indiana state legislature just staged a hostile takeover of IU, functionally eliminating tenure, promising to close smaller (hum) majors, taking over the IU board, and cutting the IU budget. This is so bleak

I’m not going to retweet that NOAA propaganda post about deep sea mining. Instead, I’ll tell you that I don’t know a single NOAA scientist who would promote deep sea mining in this way, because the available science we have does not justify exploitation of deep sea habitats for minerals.

Somehow missed this 2022 UK paper exploring responses to radical right parties (RRP) and whether accommodation - i.e. "beat" them by repeating a version of their tale actually worked electorally. Short version: Nope. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Yup. This was literally me. Funded by Nautilus Minerals to do baseline environmental impact assessment for a hydrothermal vent mine. Went in cautiously optimistic. Came out concluding there's no feasible path forward for mining a hydrothermal vent at any scale.

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't. Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure

This is a good and meaningful choice by the Democrats; I don’t know that they’ll be able to restore what’s been lost, but the senseless cruelty of this particular move must be, at minimum, seen in daylight

This is harrowing advice. Crikey, the lack of humanities training is why the Silicon Valley tycoons are now running democracies. If our society isn't making pathways to employment for those with training in how to think about our society, then that's the problem.

It's wild that all my colleagues who are funded by a deep sea mining company to research the topic ultimately conclude that we shouldn't mine the deep sea. We should stop seeing the ocean as a place to exploit instead of a place of wonder and beauty and an essential part of our life support system.

Everything is an emergency, when you want it to be. The French constitution is awfully good at this too. Really, nobody should ever let the executive declare a state of emergency without extraordinary requirements for a threshold of validation from other branches.

$24 million in CEO pay is more than the federal emergency energy assistance funds for each of the following STATES: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming and D.C. We could keep the lights on and save lives instead.
