Donald Trump celebrating Exxon Mobil and Harold Hamm and other fossil fools taking in profits as Americans get hit with higher gas, diesel, and virtually everything processed due Trump’s poorly conceived war on Iran.

Strikes on Iran are unleashing toxic pollutants that likely will linger for decades, poisoning the environment and posing health risks

"In the 3 decades between 1993 and 2024, measles in the U.S. was relatively rare – few 100 cases each year, at most. But suddenly, the disease has become so entrenched in American life that it sometimes fails to make headlines when a new outbreak erupts."

When I was learning to drive, my Dad would constantly remind me, "Speed magnifies mistakes." This should be the mantra of road designers as well.

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

A Musk-worthy solution to the Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Wouldn’t be surprised if Hegseth and Trump send money to the Boring Company to execute this.

This is a wild study. From 2016 to 2020, emissions of hydrochloric acid (HCl) from burning homes exceeded all other human HCl sources in California and Tennessee. Obviously burning homes give off MUCH more than HCl. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/environment/...

using public office to name and shame evil landlords into submission is so cool. i hope democrats learn from him

Once again, fossil energy prices are soaring due to global conflicts. Let’s save and replace another 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year with ‘orange-green’ energy, within 5 years: emergency plan @nvde.bsky.social

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

The Tysons casino proposal is built on inflated claims and a disregard for local authority. Fairfax County already has smarter, community‑driven plans that make gambling both unnecessary and irresponsible.

Anyone surprised dark money is flooding into Virginia w/ dishonest, deceptive, and race-baiting attacks re the Redistricting vote? bluevirginia.us/2026/03/mill... Thank you anti-Democracy Roberts SCOTUS for the destructive Citizens United decision. /s @bluevirginia.bsky.social #VoteYes #Virginia

Keeping this for next time someone says "but the green premium." Or "sure, climate, but 'value' creation." Or "intermittency!"

Jen's getting at something bigger here – a feature of Trump's character. He assumes nearly all precedent exists because those who preceded him were idiots. He does not (cannot?) imagine that sometimes things are the way they are for good reason. That personality defect is a national security threat.

Today at a pretty well-known Miami restaurant I chomped on a broken piece of plate in my salad. It didn't break my tooth but it did spark a discussion of whether RFK might try to put plate on top of the next food pyramid.

Here's an excerpt. The sun is finally almost down so read the whole column and tell me what you think

Every American should take a minute to remember that an undeclared war waged in our names is about more than rising gasoline prices. Read the children's names. Look at the faces that will never smile at their parents again.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

The trump administration and their allies are the most powerful threat to Americans' freedom of speech rights in our nation's history. The voices in the media who repeatedly told the public that Trump stands for free speech are their accomplices in tyranny

Hey, remember how I said that my third friend in the oil industry didn’t respond? Yeah they got back to me. It’s not looking good, team

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal. Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Nuremberg Nuremberg Nuremberg Nuremberg

Amazing how the ball knowers on here were like “they’re going to run out of military targets in a week” and they immediately start hitting economic/civilians infrastructure on day 8

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Climate laws shouldn't be the first place state policymakers look to cut costs because in the long run the costs of climate inaction will dwarf any short-term savings. (1/)

If allying yourself with an anti-vax lunatic and helping him gut public health in America while children die of vaccine-preventable diseases doesn’t get you expelled from academia, then the whole system is utterly broken.

Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...

An excellent example of #TurningPointUSA true colors and why any/all @democrats.org who went along with the iconization of Charlie Kirk were wrongheaded. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... Condemning Kirk's murder didn't / doesn't require condoning Kirk's destructive politics, influence, impact.

Paul Krugman explains: "The wind and the sun don't need to transit the Strait of Hormuz." A humane climate transition involves well-planned restraint on fossil fuel use. An inhumane climate transition involves violent restraint on fossil fuel use. One way or another, the transition is inevitable.

Hmmm ... maybe time for Americans to take advantage of low-priced used EVs before getting hit at the pump? (Note: Yet another example of Trump's 4-dimensional chess support for climate action?)

Yes, but what if we have to remove a few car parking spaces to make room for bus lanes, bike lanes, or pedestrian corner extensions? Let’s not get hasty here

No-one actually expects gas prices to rapidly return to normal.

A reminder that David Brooks, multiple times, dismissed Esptein as anything important without any disclosure to @pbsnews.org / @pbs.org / #NewsHour viewers that he had interactions (a relationship?) with Epstein. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... @poynterinstitute.bsky.social #MediaEthics

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet. All the details in our article: www.carbonbrief.org/...

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

One of the best people i know, @gruberte.bsky.social came on this podcast to talk about the work she is doing with two of the other best people i know, @jmijin.bsky.social and @jlappen1.bsky.social. One big takeaway for me is this...

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her. Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/t...

Serious credit to @kamlager-dove.house.gov for asking this direct yes/no question which Noem refused to answer …

Republicans literally impeached a president over this basic question

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program -Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student -Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard FYI: This is what leadership looks like.

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

Not only is there no Plan B, there is no Plan A. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
