Loved @lindaholmes.bsky.social's latest. Tropes abound, but Holmes makes them feel fresh. Can’t wait for her next! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Back After This by Linda Holmes #bookreview www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

As terrible as this is, the US is hardly a force for good in these talks, even during normal times. Our *best * climate position was still stuck in a 90s mentality on gas as a transition fuel, and we’re FAR too beholden to the industry to support aggressive policies the science really demands.

“better for growing plants” - energy sec chris wright 🫠

In my MSc dissertation on climate finance, I show that very high-level financial actors consider the integration of climate data to be a necessary condition for informed decision-making. This means that JP Morgan and other banks are, in effect, making the informed decision to short the Earth.

Once again I'm begging journalists — and climate people! — to stop using the phrase "climate goals" and start saying "climate safety" or "climate stability." A "goal" sounds like an optional nice-to-achieve, but a relatively safe, stable climate is actually essential for human functioning.

I’m sure this is totally fine! 🙉🙈🙊

Make it make sense

I have a LOT of gripes with Google's insistence on shoving AI down our throats but it doesn't seem to ever be able to pick the correct account password to autofill and really that seems like it shouldn't be this hard

So proud to have gotten to stand with @edmarkey.bsky.social @yassaminansari.bsky.social @paultonko.bsky.social and many friends at EPA today to call on Trump and Musk and Administrator Zeldin to stop the illegal freeze of funds and reinstate #environmentaljustice staff

These guys ordered a shit sandwich and have the nerve to be mad Trump took a crap on their plate.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

"Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials." www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

When you know you fucked up but are still pretending it’s DEI’s fault

You [grocery store capers] vs the guy [Italian market capers] she told you not to worry about

Look, I am just a small town scholar of mass murder, so let me ask a simple, naive question: And then what?

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

Past 16 years: It's been nearly 16 years since the last deadly commercial plane crash in America Last week: FAA Administrator Quit on Jan. 20 After Elon Musk Told Him to Resign Trump fires heads of TSA, Coast Guard and guts key aviation safety advisory committee Last night:

If I worked at a newspaper, I’d ask why we have to keep coming up with novel phrases like “mass detention camp” to describe Trump’s plans instead of using a more familiar term.

Figures @aoc.bsky.social is a knitting overachiever! Brand new to the craft yet already tackling a sweater AND a cardigan. Consider me impressed. #knitsky

They were warned. 😣 www.levernews.com/before-d-c-a...

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

Army Blackhawk helicopters are crashing into passenger planes at DCA while the Secretary of Defense is on Fox News ranting about DEI

"Her job is no longer to explain why her boss should be president. It is to explain what precisely is happening now that he is." And she completely failed at that. She didn't know about the Medicaid mess. She told federal agencies to call Russ Vought -- not even confirmed yet -- to get their money.

To be fair these were all the same people who said we were being hysterical when we said in 2016 that Roe was on the line. If they’ve learned any lesson, it’s that there’s no penalty for being completely wrong.

Personally?

Oh good. The GOP is the party of child labor. (In more ways than one!) www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency. www.mobilize.us/climateactio...

How many of those low income Floridians thought they were voting for lower grocery prices and better jobs? I don’t blame them. Trump and right wing media knew this was the #Project2025 plan and pulled off a massive bait and switch.

BEES bees BEES bees (Chidi Anagonye was made for this moment)

"President Trump’s actions on the first day of his new administration will compromise the health and safety of communities, increase costs for Americans and leave our families more vulnerable to increasingly severe and more frequent extreme weather events." www.actonclimate.com/post/climate...

Fantastic news.

Good morning from this unexpectedly symbolic frozen river scene. It’s a beautiful morning not to be in DC.

We at @actonclimateus.bsky.social are thrilled to join with 228 organizations, 460 local and community leaders, 111 members of Congress and **450,000 people** across the country in calling on Congress to hold the line against Trump's dangerous climate and energy plans. #standstrongforclimate

I get for $8 at my neighborhood pharmacy what CVS charged me $90 for.

Mayor Bowser wanted to cut early childhood education from the budget but was more than happy to spend $1.5 million on a heated inauguration pavilion (not to mention the half a billion she wants residents to cough up to buy the football team a new stadium) www.axios.com/local/washin...

People will search for any excuse not to see what’s right in front of them. www.fastcompany.com/91258762/peo...

Seeing some people refer to it as Doggie, which conveys the appropriate amount of seriousness with which this misadventure should be taken.

It’s. that. simple.

In a world of Donald Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Yup, it's that time of the year again, when reporters need to find a scientist to give them a quote for their article. To save time, I've come up with this.

There is absolutely no excuse for it to take 10 days to be unsubscribed from marketing emails.

What an extraordinary life. What an extraordinary human. RIP President Carter.
