Leif Erikson’s revenge, 1000 years later.

there's a certain poetry of the baby boomers about it. benefitted their whole lives from a system their parents created for their benefit, now torn down in his dotage by the most extreme example of the curses of their generation

Portland Maine is ready for ICE.

You mean collapsing the nation’s research had an effect?? No fucking way.

Does anyone remember when we were going to make an energy transition so we didn't all doom our children to a climate apocalypse, before we just forgot about climate change and just burnt our carbon budget on AI slop? Seems so long ago.

Just to be exceptionally clear: IT IS POSSIBLE TO ABOLISH ICE. Like, no one needs this agency. It's now Trump's praetorian guard. No reform measure will ever succeed long term.

They never wanted "small goverment," just a goverment they control weaponized to harm the people they don't like.

We had whistles, they had guns. A monumental loss, and a study in courage to stand up to the state.

The world needs a little more Sandy Cohen right about now

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Great interview this morning on NPR between Stephens Inskeep and Kinzer. Pretty good summary of what a stupid idea this all is. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

In an even remotely healthy political system and culture - and everywhere else in the democratic world - January 6 would have been a dealbreaker: The end of Trump as a major political figure. He would have been convicted, shunned, banished - everyone associated with him ostracized from public life.

Trump just said what it is all about. The sooner the world sheds its addiction to fossil fuels, the better. The alternatives are available, plentiful and cheaper.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Call me nuts but i think we probably have to go back to the system where only Congress can declare war as states in the .. where is it, I had it … oh this Constitution thingie. Here.

Happy orbit completion day everyone! May 2026 be the year fossil fuels finally go into terminal decline, and we start to heal the climate rather than destroy it. Happy new orbit!

we wouldn't need a new year if they didn't keep making them shittier and shittier all the time

Hey you know what this year fucking sucked.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the Supreme Court

Zuck is a coward. His "philanthropy" was never real, it was a screen to mask his resource consumption and power grab. I built open source tools that CZI took, deployed for a former client of mine, and then refused to pay me for my expertise on. They broke my software license terms, and didn't care.

If Biden had done this, things might have turned out differently in 2024. Next time Dems are in power, they have to use it to actually make changes that people want. See also, healthcare. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Time is a flat circle.

Public ownership of energy production makes sense for.... the public.

"Republicans are driving up your electricity bills so they can generate AI memes about their war crimes" should be a political layup

America putting most of its eggs in the generative AI basket, China going hard into green tech. When history looks back on this period, someone is going to look awfully stupid.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Reposting this updated article, from 2021. We need to rapidly decarbonize to save ourselves and our planet from the worst effects of climate change. www.npr.org/2025/11/19/n... I’m doing my part: installing heat pumps and trying to fight petro-fascism with election tech. What are you doing?

“The people demand the fall of the regime” was the powerful chant across the Arab Spring. It might work for us, too.

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Time for all these institutionalists to get out of the way. They care more about “bipartisanship” and comity than their constituents. At least there are several decent progressives running in the NH Democratic primary to replace Shaheen, keep the seat blue, and show some spine to Trump republicans.

"Acquiring huge amounts of money is like taking a blow to the head. Wealth seems to scramble certain cognitive functions, particularly those related to empathy and perspective." @georgemonbiot.bsky.social #climateaction #climatecrisis #TaxTheRich

Every time a tech entrepreneur says “we don’t need to stop global warming because AI will” I want to slap them with a fish that says, “if a superhuman intelligence came into being and we asked it how to stop global warming, it would say ‘stop burning fossil fuels, you fools.’”

A big part of the Millennial experience has been seeing our peers locked out of political power while an older generation refuses to step aside out of a sense of entitlement. That's why it feels good to see candidates like Michelle Wu and Zohran Mamdani succeed.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Re-upping this on the news of Dick Cheney's death. A man whose life work will go down in the fossil record.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, and like and follow for more.

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

This is one of this signs of massive climate change, and it’s been happening for years now.

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

i just keep hearing this quote in my head

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

#NoKings Miami!

Strong and clear response from MIT to this regime's latest attempt to take over university teaching. The demands are blatantly fascist. MIT: "we freely choose these values because they're right..." 👏🏽 orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

i am not saying the world has gone completely bonkers but the world has gone absolutely completely bonkers

If only there was some kind of warning.

The land of the brave
