As one year comes to a close and a new one is on the horizon, I’m reflecting on the opportunity we have in front of us for 2026 to be a year of positive and dramatic change for the country - if we stay focused. I’m looking forward to doing my part, and I know you are too.

@ayman.msnbc.com great interview with Zoe. Absolutely agree with Zoe.

"How fascists rewrite the past to control the future", Prof Jason Stanley. What an incredible segment. Fascism has arrived in America, & denunciation rules the day. Just glad we can still talk about this authoritarianism creep which truly is a mafia state. Look at Putin's Russia. THIS IS THEIR M.O.

Felt #earthquake: 8.0 #quake North Pacific Ocean, 133 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia, 16 minutes ago - 20 reports so far. Did you feel it? Send a report!

Ignorance appears to be no barrier as Trump begins to put out approved version of US history that ignores American failures in the run-up to the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence next year.

Sweeping synthesis of 2,000 global studies leaves no doubt about scale of problem and role of humans, say experts.

there are claims this building under construction in Bangkok collapsed after the quake l can't verify this vid tho #earthquake

For more insight into the tectonic background of today’s M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar I’d recommend this blog post and the original article on extrusion tectonics. There is also a video hiding somewhere on YouTube that illustrates this experiment perfectly. 🧪⚒️ blogs.egu.eu/divisions/ts...

Same seismogram at Garni, Armenia (~5000 km from the earthquake) without filtering. alomax.free.fr/webtools/sgw...

M7.7 #earthquake #Myanmar High-frequency seismograms suggest around 2 minutes of rupture duration (and shaking) for the first, main event alomax.free.fr/webtools/sgw...

This could be devastating. This is strike-slip mechanism on a plate boundary, much like the 1906 quake on the San Andreas. The rupture length is at least 300km. The capital, Yangon, is near the fault, but I can’t yet see if the fault ruptured towards Yangon or away from it

Much of what President Trump said in his address to Congress “was inflammatory, radical, and dangerous,” @sbg1.bsky.social writes. “But it was also familiar, his by-now-standard mix of braggadocio and self-pity, partisan bile and patently absurd lies.”

This.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

I'll go anywhere on behalf of a good cause - and that means engaging people across all the different platforms. Good to be connected here, @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

First major rainstorm in 10 months has caused sea form on Pacific coast.

We’re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”

Gorgeous day yesterday. This hang glider over Blacks Beach thought so too.

Old white men do not represent Hollywood’s burgeoning diversity. They are anachronisms of a bygone era — when gender inequality, racism and misogyny were the norms.

@helmutjr.bsky.social in deep sleep, where is the I thought?

Navajo Nation firefighters taking a well earned break. These tribesmen are apolitical. They simply came to L.A. to help.

@teatime75.bsky.social which brand of tea do you drink?

Happy New Year, friends! Remember: That which does not kill us wins reelection and tries again. Be vigilant and keep a good humor about your every day and spread laughter and good will. It’s the best inoculation against autocracy and idiocy.

After 35 years, the Miss Netherlands beauty pageant has been scrapped, replaced by a new initiative, 'No Longer of This Time', which focuses on mental health, diversity, and inspiring stories.

Present-day (Holocene) Ripple marks, left here as the tide went out. Similar ripple marks have been found in ancient sandstones and siltstone. They are called “trace fossils” because geologists can work out which way the current was flowing millions of years ago in #Geological Time.
