Something has welded together the leaves of a young birch tree (that grew without being planted) to make a cocoon-like home for itself. That's the thing with rewilding: being *ecosystem* centred, it benefits 1,000s of different organisms and, just as important, all their interconnections. 🌍

CNN doesn’t understand even the most basic of economics. It’s time to treat them like the uninformed idiots they are. Inflation never stopped anyone spending - it eroded what the spending *can buy*. How stupid can people at CNN be?

Anon plz: ANC 8A Commissioners w/ MPD are holding a march to "take back" Minnesota Ave from their own constituents. They do not like these residents because they are housing insecure, hang outside, & receive social services from multiple orgs. They purchased bullhorns to “clear out" their neighbors.

ICE and DC police arrest a delivery driver in DC Via @arielcohen37.bsky.social

Just witnessed ICE interrogating a delivery driver in DuPont Circle, Washington DC. Feels like chengguan (urban management agents) harassing street vendors in China. There will be reckoning for this cruelty and lawlessness.

That moment when DHS and ICE arrive in your neighborhood and you find out the Fire Department probably aren't your friends. In the Brookland neighborhood of Washington DC.

2. What was happening? Stopping every car, or random? Specifically targeting mopeds? This post just conveys “everyone be careful” without giving people enough information to assess their risk level. 3. Same about not including info on which agencies. MPD vs ICE is a big difference for some people.

Visiting the white house is the latest trend in disaster tourism, change my mind #WashingtonDC #PhotoSeries

🚨Alert🚨 In the recent weeks, Park Police has been posting up at local parks, like Malcolm X, arresting people for minor things like smoking weed, and then transferring them to ICE. REMEMBER: Most parks in DC are actually federal land. 1/

Orcas, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find Jeff Bezos' $500M super-yacht. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.

To no one's surprise, UK newspapers are full of truly dreadful - and, at times, outright bizarre - "reporting" of the Climate Change Committee's new carbon-budget advice. For a sane and nuanced summary – with lots of charts - here's our detailed coverage... www.carbonbrief.org/ccc-reducing...

Great to see the CDC providing an update on the #birdflu outbreak. Key points 1/ The CDC has sequenced the H5N1 viruses from recent human cases in Wyoming and Nevada. The data are now publicly available on GISAID: Wyoming: EPI_ISL_19749443 Nevada: EPI_ISL_19726293 www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/spo...

The electrification of mining is well underway now. Look at this monster: Liebherr's T264 battery electric haul truck is higher than a house, weighs 176 tonnes and has a payload of 240 tonnes. HT Gavin Mooney.

Trump announced plans to cut 65% of the EPA’s staff.

A group of Senate Democrats has called on EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to abandon the effort to revoke IRA funds, saying he is illegally ignoring congressional spending authority. Read more in today's climate briefing.

Is Reddit censoring upvotes? There’s no way a post with this many upvotes has so few upvotes comments…

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Just a reminder that intentionally trying to break public transit, as Cuomo did, is a climate crime. NYC does not need a climate criminal as mayor. (We also don't need a sex criminal or the kind of criminal who messes with fire codes for favors from foreign governments.)

Accurate and widely available weather forecasts are more essential than ever in this new era of Big-Oil fueled climate chaos. These psychopaths are going to get a bunch of people killed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Our water crisis is way worse than you think… here’s why “From California’s epic few years of droughts and floods to wells running dry and aquifers depleting, water is a critical environmental issue. So, what do we do about it? In this episode, Maiya May tries to figure this out.”

The American Museum of Natural History has a greenwashing problem.

Fuck the New York Times

It’s time for IPCC climate scientists to start projecting ONLY scenarios that show increased greenhouse gas emissions. Stop showing the rose tinted scenarios about a potential human civilisation that consists of unicorns and magic.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Can the "net-zero hero” motivate others to follow suit? Perhaps.. not. A study suggests the way the energy sector shapes this narrative sets individuals up to fail. "Storytelling should emphasise the role of companies and governments alongside individuals." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org

Stop overreacting, 2025 won't be as bad as you think. The first 2 weeks of 2025 👇

it's incredibly funny that they're banging on about security concerns when the actual concern is "chinese cars are kicking our ass", something they can't say out loud

Privatized profits, socialized costs: over and over and over. Fossil fuels kill via climate change, air & water pollution, plastics everywhere. It cannot be said enough: fuck these people, and the politicians that do their bidding. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
