EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.

Disappearing permanent residents for peaceful protests and threatening more disappearances while spouting propaganda and lies about the victim. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THE RIGHT OF PEACEFUL PROTESTS.

To see evidence for the acceleration of global sea surface temperatures, notice that the jump in average temperature between decades gets larger as the decades pass. The gap increases over time. This has been your f&%kery 101 lesson for today.

I stand with Canada. Growing up near Detroit meant Canadian Radio and watching Canadian Sesame Street. My current favorite radio station (indie88) is also Canadian. Stay strong. Fascists are stupid ghouls.

Turns out, Canada had a playbook all along—like their hockey strategy, it’s built on skill, speed, and scoring ability. • Step 1: Stay calm. • Step 2: Stand firm. • Step 3: Be the adult in the room while everyone in the White House argues over who gets the last juice box. #Canada #Tariffs #Hockey

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

Climate change will increasingly impact the ocean around Antarctica, and the life within it, as it progresses. Read the new paper by the excellent Ben Fisher and colleagues on how this will happen, what are the implications, and how we can improve our ability to predict the key changes. 🌊❄️🥼🧪

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

As you contemplate this clown show, think about this: All those Project 2025 people had four whole years to scour the federal budget, trying to figure out which programs to try to eliminate. They could have come up with a perfectly targeted list, one that have gotten a lot less attention.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

The arc does not bend itself. And it is not bending in the right direction. So we will have to collectively drag it toward justice, to organize and bend it ourselves. No one is coming to save us. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Start local. tap into local orgs doing good work. Concede nothing.

and also NASA confirms 2024 as the hottest year on record, 0.11C warmer than 2023. A reduction of the low clouds in the tropics and consequently of the albedo,is to blame for the persistence of the warm oceans and of the average air temperature.

Increase in pace of climate change is suspected to be due to 1. Less aerosols from shipping pollution, 2. Natural changing ocean variabilities, and 3. Positive feedback of climate change.
