More importantly..who is David Klion?

Who is Gaby Del Valle?

I tried to become a hockey fan but some loud and drunk racist caps fans out an end to that and watching these guys celebrating with Patel makes me know I made the right choice

Sometimes people over-personalize choices and certain critiques can come down to a saviorism view of politics. Imagine a chess board well into a game. Your team has far fewer pieces and you are surrounded, but still in it. Your moves are more limited. You can get mad at that, or change the board.

I somehow thought I would never read that question in any newspaper. Thank you, @financialtimes.com. See: giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... “America is becoming a petrostate”

Bernie hear describes the billionaire class as like the czars of the 19th century, believing that they have a divine right to rule. (He doesn’t say No Kings, but he’s certainly drawing on the notion and applying it to Big Tech Oligarchs/billionaires) “But we have got some bad news for them!”

Federal officials now project that Lake Powell will "most probably" drop below power pool level — meaning Glen Canyon Dam will no longer be able to generate hydropower — before the end of this year: www.landdesk.org/p/the-colora... via @landdesk.bsky.social

Melrose was supposed to undergo a complete streets makeover from Highland to Fairfax that would have installed stormwater gardens to mitigate flooding, among other critical safety improvements. The previous councilmember killed the project

I really do hate that people who are geological illiterate keep pointing to records compiled by paleoclimatologists to downplay climate change because, if anything, the lessons of deep time only emphasize how extraordinary and unprecedented the rate of modern warming is.

The leaders of seven states failed to negotiate a deal to share the diminishing waters of the Colorado River by a Trump administration deadline, leaving the Southwest in a quagmire while the river’s depleted reservoirs continue to decline. www.latimes.com/environment/... @latimes.com

The Heirloom is the best Valentines Day movie ever.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion." That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

social housing for the win! if your yimby doesn’t include social housing, i don’t want it. @raeforla.bsky.social and hasan piker get it.

Had to check and make sure this is real. It is, and the music that plays over the depiction of the Obamas as apes is the first few bars of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”

This. Really, really recommend. @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/news/Drillin...

One of the key problems with the coexistence of billionaires and a subservient media is that the ravings of mentally ill men are presented as headline news.

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

When it’s EVs: “The grid will collapse from EV electricity demand!!” When it’s data centers: “We need to build nuclear plants and gas fired plants to meet demand!”

My full report, overnight at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-system...

Methane pollution from US oil and gas infrastructure causes more climate change than the entire economies of all but seven nations on earth. (This is with methane's climate impacts conservatively evaluated over a 100-year time frame. Evaluated over shorter time frames, methane's impacts are worse.)

@fortune.com covered our Tax Fellow @bdgesq.bsky.social’s new report released this morning outlining a new model for a nationwide ultrawealth tax. Extreme wealth = extreme power. Here’s a concrete way to rein it in. ⬇️

A sign at California's Muir Woods National Monument explaining that redwoods soak up planet-warming greenhouse gases has been removed by the Trump administration. One of many ways the National Park Service is now silencing science and history: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/c...

Look, I'm glad we're having a conversation about the hypocrisy of the legal logic used by America's gun nuts. But can we stop pretending this is a new thing? They have never advocated for universal access to firearms. They only want their team to be armed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Went to see The Secret Agent last night — an amazing, gorgeous, disturbing contemplation of dictatorship and memory. @sociologyofplants.bsky.social you should see it if you have not?

This walk on the precipice is procedurally fascinating. In looking up Judge Grasz, I was reminded that he was one of the few judges the ABA found temperamentally unqualified. static.politico.com/0f/11/a77b9e...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

A Trump regime cover up. Just as they did with Renée Good.

There is so much good stuff in this report but man does this stand out - it has never been so important to switch from fossil to clean rather than from coal to gas. This is great to see

I was reading this thinking about how many pundits are still saying- but this only polls 50/50 while way more people care about affordability! But, the point of leadership is to make people who don't care about this care about this bc it is wrong. Otherwise, you are a hollow shell of a person

China understood in the early 1990s at the latest that relying on fossil fuels was a dead end in terms of geopolitics for a country with limited domestic supplies. Going green was the only way. It took Europe until 2026. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

In case you for some reason need a bit of good news this week, India--largest country on earth--seems to be taking a decisive turn toward solar energy open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

“In one hour, the Earth receives enough light from the sun to power the world for the whole year," said Sarah Kurtz, a researcher who has been working on solar power since the mid-1980s. insideclimatenews.org/news/1501202...

Fast-moving & destructive wildfires--some burning into populated areas in/beyond the urban interface--have occurred across many of the Southern Hemisphere's fire prone regions (including Chile & Argentina, South Africa, & SE Australia) over last 3 weeks.

fwiw these are unionized hotels and their local sent a formal request to employers not to accept ICE bookings or allow ICE to use their facilities www.facebook.com/share/p/1aV9...

Shakespeare anticipates everything, always. Check this out, from Coriolanus: "We are accounted poor citizens, the patricians good. What authority surfeits on would relieve us...The leanness that afflicts us, the object of our misery, is an inventory to particularize their abundance." Amazing, no?

Is ICE going to deport Native Americans now? What a bunch of clowns.

With the world's eyes on US oil interests, let's not forget who benefits: The richest of the rich. Our research shows: 50% of the record fossil fuel profits in 2022 went to the wealthiest 1% of US Americans, the bottom 50% only received 1%. Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"Unbelievable. After months of propaganda claiming Maduro is the head of the dangerous drug-smuggling cartel, the US government has admitted it was all a ruse in order to kidnap a sitting head of state." - @AlanRMacLeod

Sorry to keep everyone waiting. Here it is. @thepolycrisis.bsky.social take on venezuela. Ofc it’s about oil. No, not like that @katemac.bsky.social buttondown.com/polycrisisdi...

I had to read a lot of Bob Jessop to agree with this.
