Carney isn't trying to shut any oil or gas anything down. Alberta papers are carrying MASSIVE HEADLINES all over the internet with claims he wants to shut it allll down. Listen, he isn't the moron Alberta would like us to think he is. He won't make us freeze to death and go broke.

This deranged post must be read in concert with new Daily Beast and Yahoo News reports that Trump is a Kremlin agent ("Krasnov") and Hegseth speeding up a political purge of the military. What you are seeing here is fear from Trump and Musk; they need to get to martial law fast.

Unfortunately the people who didn't vote for him have to suffer too.🤬😢

We planned this trip ages ago for my musical theatre obsessed kid. Hamilton, with Jonathan Groff, the original King George III. Seattle. I don’t want to be here. Crossing the border was different. Flashlights inside our vehicle. Extra questions. Everything feels off.

Hey…Elon, if you’re monitoring this, FUCK YOU.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

The Ukrainians are very aware that giving up the nukes on their soil after the fall of the Soviet Union is why Russia was able to invade them. And so is every other non-nuclear country.

When the women begin to march Donald and his grifter gang are going to run to the hills.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the *last* time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

Is... wait a minute... is this report indicating that Democrats sent a strongly worded letter? In response to beyond-Watergate-level corruption? Is that what we are down to, now? Strongly worded letters?

The tragic tale of "Climate Denial in American Politics" unfolds in the book that I wrote over a yr. ago ... it was meant to serve as a warning ... which went unheeded ... the result is the horror adminstation of today ... and it is just getting started. routledge.com/Climate-Deni...

Trump could never in a billion years hold a cabinet position — yet somehow the most unqualified, uneducated, narcissistic, adjudicated, rapist, and 34x convicted felon was elected president.

Not all heroes wear capes 🤣🔥

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

A great outreach on Climate Change from University of Melbourne aimed at kids. Hosts do a great job - not too heavy, keeps an optimistic tone, but real, honest answers. Not too simple, not too complex! Thank you @katharinehayhoe.com for putting this in your newsletter. 🧪 youtu.be/v1aq1dfgocc?...

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

This is horrible for the future of American science and innovation and economic wellbeing and all the things Pitt is not a small institution It has nearly 10K grad students It is where Salk discovered the polio vaccine

Whenever MAGA threatens to leave the United States, I always want to ask: Who will take you in? No one likes you people. I'm pretty sure if #CalExit passes and California leaves the US (please!), Canada will express more than a passing interest in forging some sort of union with our republic.

California succession depends on California voters! Starting on March 1st, 2025, I will begin collecting signatures to put this initiative on the California ballot in the next election to #VOTE that California becomes its own country. #Calexit #CASuccesion #2025 www.sos.ca.gov/administrati...

O Canada we could be together too #CalExit

And the US pulls out of Paris accords and moves into drill baby drill. This won't end well. 🧪

Scientists, #HPS scholars & experts help protect NOAA: Join me in signing this open letter calling on Congress & the Trump admin to ensure that NOAA & its sub-agencies remain fully funded & staffed, & that the independent, trusted science the agency produces is protected act.ucsusa.org/4kajJuk 🧪 ⚒️

This is what obeying in advance looks like. The NSF fires 10% of its total staff in a move that went beyond what was requested by the current regime. The NSF is the flagship of US basic research infrastructure. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

There are a number of panicky Facebook posts, to which I will not link, going around about the "shocking" discovery that mRNA vaccines cross the placental barrier. Which really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but antivaxers gonna antivax. 🧪⚕️🖥️🧬🧵

Thank you everyone who have already signed the petition! Still waiting for the rectors of Finnish universities to take a public stand for the freedom of science.

“Viruses don’t care about countries and borders. They don’t know they exist. We need to coordinate globally in order to stay on top of what’s happening with the virus and to learn from one another.” From my latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):
