We're used to seeing this type of propaganda coordination in Russia, and with all the Russia sycophants around the world. So to see this choreographed praise of dear leader in America adds a stomach-turning coda. As I wrote today, Trump isn't just fawning, he's imitating Putin.

Kasparov da en el clavo: "Si Zelensky quisiera rendirse habría ido a Moscú, no a Washington".

While narratives about individual conservation projects are valuable we need scientifically-based monitoring and comparison with contrasting approaches to really understand what works in conservation

'The erosion of that radical universalist tradition has befuddled the left, detaching it from liberal traditions, and from class politics, and leaving the remnants more authoritarian and identitarian. It has also discombobulated liberalism.'

Is anyone keeping tabs on which judges are making what judgements against the Trump administration and, crucially, whether those judgements are being complied with or ignored? Be interesting to see such a scoreboard (indicator of coup success). www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Really deeply and broadly (and equitably) tackling cost of living issues would entail regulating the hell out of the gas companies and utilities that hurt consumers by overcharging them for dangerous, outdated fuels they've been locked into using.

Who’s organising the Tesla protests then? Bristol has a showroom right next to B&Q and Hobbycraft, so it’ll be easy to make signs and whatnot. maps.app.goo.gl/VBxxTMymbfSh...

Some of what is being mooted in this piece to help second home owners dodge their tax liabilities is tax evasion and a criminal offence. I hope Councils who rightly want homes to be used for people who need them throw those owners into prison. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/m...

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

In other news, it is 1st of March and India is already under a heatwave, threatening the wheat crops once again. An extremely dry winter season is to be blamed, according to IMD, which led to heatwave advisories in the western regions in February. www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

Oh the guy asking Zelenskyy "why aren't you wearing a suit!?" is Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend hahahaha. What a stupid country.

Germany’s likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, assured his support to Zelenskyy, saying: “We must never confuse the aggressor and the victim in this terrible war.” (Guardian)

If it wasn't clear enough to you before, understand: This is now an occupied country. Behave accordingly. Be the resistance.

Check out the external affairs page at NOAA right now. That's right. Everyone at NOAA external affairs was fired. www.noaa.gov/external-aff...

Republicans will be like "you want to give money to Ukraine? what about our veterans?" and then yank millions of dollars from the VA

Failte, Mara💙. Every corner of our wee country has Keeps and Castles, in ruins or gloriously maintained. Enjoy!

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI. FLOOD THE PORTAL Spam the hell out of it. Pass it on! It works! enddei.ed.gov

"We're trying to deal with the reality of #climate change and, you know, it's not a hoax," one farmer said. "It's real, it's here and taking it off a website isn't going to fix anything, it's only going to make it worse." www.newsweek.com/farmers-sue-...

So classified documents going back into the Mar a Lago toilet?

i think leadership made a profound mistake setting their stakes at "trump is existential threat" while making their tactical play "wait and see" both are legitimate, but contradictory and the risk is we might have a more difficult to corral caucus come 2027 and 2029

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

Zelenskyy on Fox News #Zelenskyy #Ukraine #Trump

but her emails

I respect my soldiers and our civilians who support our warriors. I can't tell them to stop because Putin will come back tomorrow. We want just and lasting peace - President Zelenskyy in an interview to Fox News #Zelenskyy #Ukraine #Trump

In the next few days, I will be sharing some of our work that I am most proud of from my time at NOAA/GFDL. But I would also like a little normalcy today on my feed, so here's my go-to sea ice data viz update. #Arctic sea ice extent still remains the *lowest* on record for the date (JAXA). Not good

It's hard to get over what's happening to NOAA, and I fear what will eventually become of NOAA. My first job in science was with NOAA 30 years ago. You can read about some of the work we did on the ocean carbon cycle in this data report. repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/9391

God. Thinking of all those Ukrainian hearts sinking as they hear this play out.

Historian Rick Perlstein has dubbed this dynamic the “right wing ratchet.” It only ever goes one way, toward ever more radical things that would have seemed outlandish months ago but are now just the new normal, with more ratcheting into previously unthinkable territory to come.

I’m sure the professionals at the FBI really appreciate being led by two unemployable wackadoodles who couldn’t even run a lemonade stand.

Budget system for 250 years: controlled by elected representatives of the citizens. Current system: secret. Wake. The fuck. Up.

Not only that, bring a life sized version of their pussy Republican rep and let voters respond to their cut outs. Make it happen America!

Some version of this would be great. I know he turned out to be kinda shitty, but I really appreciated Cuomo’s daily talks during Covid when the Trump administration was just lying and watching people die.

America has a terrible homeless problem. Musk’s solution: make it worse while mocking and taunting poor and middle class folks. Wtf.

Trump wants his own version of the Ukraine war, emulating Putin. Lunacy that the Republicans let this psycho stay in power.

How long until they put lead and mercury back into cosmetics?

Or, instead of normalizing all of this with long form access journalism, you could write the article that explains to the public THAT THIS IS ALL WILDLY ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL

the arc of history is long. it's long as hell. it's just—whew. it's a long-ass arc, is all I can tell you.
