While the Waymos burn While the air over LA fills with smoke and teargas and Reaper drones While Israelis hand each other trophies for not murdering Greta Thunberg While Palantir stocks soar and insect populations plummet While the news man writes headlines with increasingly creative phrasing

"There is no routine testing for chemicals, including 'forever chemicals', which have been developed over the last three decades and are getting into the sewage network from both from domestic and industrial users. ...The water industry is both lobbying government and making contingency plans."

Typical buildings are full of forever chemicals PFAS where you seal, coat, pour (hello concrete), 'protect' things for example. If you need yet another reason to switch to regenerative practices and materials. (Which is the stuff that was there before climate and biodiversity crisis.)

Trump EPA rollbacks would weaken rules projected to save billions of dollars and 30,000 lives a year Story by @borenbears.bsky.social et al #climatecrisis www.ap.org/news-highlig...

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

The U.S. owes Afghans and Afghan Americans a huge debt. Instead of repaying this debt and undoing the harm it has caused over four decades, Muslim ban 2.0 has been yet another deep betrayal and abandonment.

DOGE was supposed to save $2T, saved $160B, cost $135B in buyouts, and nuked $323B in tax revenue. So basically, we paid $300B for all that chaos.

🔬 Cuts to federal research funding put our family, friends, communities and planet at risk. Scripps Oceanography scientists Paul Jensen and Brad Moore spoke with @nbcnews.com on how cutting and freezing research dollars impacts crucial breakthroughs. ⬇️

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests. It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism. All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

This seems important — we’ve been talking for a long time about how “short trips” make up a LOT of traffic in cities & have BIG implications for pollution and GHG emissions. So it’s a big opportunity to convert them to walking or biking trips. But guess what — they’re ALSO REALLY BAD FOR YOUR CAR.

Read Karen Hao. Read her now.

‪”We cannot have a system where the average American feels like they have no control over their data, over their agency, over their future economic opportunity” @karenhao.bsky.social breaks down why the rise of unregulated AI companies “amassing economic and political leverage” is so dangerous.

States should be more autonomous from the real estate and construction industry. How can independent politics still be possible in such systems? All this money leads not to affordability, not even into decarbonisation, mitigation etc. Only more dependence and distrust in the system.

Nobody should be supplying weapons to Israel, anyone who does should be prosecuted for assisting War Crimes.
