From @ayanaeliza.bsky.social and @vfajans.bsky.social, a stirring riposte to Gov Hochul's climate nihilism, which really is a disgrace. New Yorkers "will remember who delivered and who failed them." time.com/article/2026...

NEW: Tennessee voters came out to oppose the GOP’s new rigged maps 🔥

While US elites have spent the last 4 years navel-gazing about AI - an unpopular tool with marginal utility - the rest of the world has pulled off a genuine technological revolution and eliminated the need to burn fossil fuels for electricity. The implications for US leadership can't be overstated.

Big tech claims it will solve the climate crisis it is exacerbating this very moment. Kairos Fellows released a report calling its bluff. Here are big tech's false "solutions" to address the climate crisis–––and why they're unproven and dangerous: noclimateresultsfound.com/2026/04/28/n...

"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

Researchers found that the system is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century and could pass a significant tipping point by mid-century, at which point its decline would become irreversible. www.commondreams.org/news/amoc-co...
