Tiger numbers in India are starting to rebound after decades of being perilously low. This recovery offers lessons for conserving other rare animals https://go.nature.com/3EpQfIA

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

In 2010, I saw the Tea Party march in DC and dismissed it as astroturf that didn’t mean anything for the midterms. That worked out great and I definitely think MAGA should try it.

This man is amazing. His heart is in the right place.

Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.

Timothy Snyder recommended this and it's excellent. Also recommend.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

Trump’s superbowl trip cost taxpayers an estimated $15 million. The median federal government employee makes $99,000. In other words, a typical civil servant could work for 151 *years,* and still cost taxpayers less than Donald Trump cost them in one evening.

Representation without taxation for a handful of billionaires, taxation without representation for the rest of us.

Donald Trump is emptying California’s water reserves at the same time he’s imposing tariff on Mexican imports and all this to say that I don’t think many of us will be eating vegetables in the foreseeable future.

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Really shocking.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

Seems like a smart idea. Me too.

The Capitol Rotunda has been traditionally used for presidents lying in state. This Monday, it will be used for a president lying to *all* states.

Gavin Newsom made a website to fight the misinformation about the fires. Give it a read. REPOST gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

Khloe Kardashian is smack talking LA Mayor Karen Bass over the wildfires. In 2022, Khloe used roughly 101,000 gallons of water over the allotted limit during a drought. Her sister Kim Kardashian used 232,000 gallons over the limit. IN ONE MONTH. Bish needs to sit TF down.

This is one of the more important columns I've written lately: The California fires are a stark reminder that climate is switching from an economic and tech problem to a destabilizing political challenge. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/california...

All possible thanx to #complicitmedia.

If your bookshelf doesn't have a cobweb-covered book that opens a hidden door when pulled, then what's the point of anything really?

Even without the existential impetus of climate change during his Presidency, Jimmy Carter sensed how high the stakes were. The energy crisis, he told Americans early on, was a reminder that “ours is the most wasteful nation on earth.”

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The solar manufacturing boom in the US is a huge, under-covered story. As of Q3, the US has the capacity to produce enough panels to satisfy its own demand -- a fundamental, epochal change from even a few years ago. seia.org/blog/america...
