3°C of global warming by 2050 could lead to >4 billion deaths. No one would put their family on an airplane that has a 5% (or 0.005%) chance of crashing. While most are complacently contributing to the destruction of our global life support system. bsky.app/profile/ghos...

The price of silver has increased by 24% over the past month. A single silver US Quarter now has $8.32 in metal. One thin silver US Dime, $3.33. There are multiple reasons:

🧪these changes will have deep implications for future generations of scientists, weakening the foundation of science for decades to come.

From Hitler to Hegseth: When Generals Swear to a Man Over in 1935 Berlin, Adolf Hitler summoned German generals from across the nation to a surprise assembly, and told them this: your old oath — to the Constitution, to the Republic — is void. thecycle.substack.com/p/from-hitle...

There is an increasing threat of heavy rainfall early next week from coastal Georgia through the Carolinas and into the southern Mid-Atlantic states, which could cause flash, urban, and river flooding.

Hochul was invited to the Climate Town Hall to explain how NY will stand up to Trump on Climate. Here is her empty chair. She declined to show up, because she is in cahoots with Trump, fast-tracking the pipelines he demanded.

They heard all of us loud and clear - this censorship of comedians is un-American and a clear violation of our free speech rights. Unfortunately, corporate cowardice seems to be a very American phenomenon, especially when it comes to bending a knee to Trump. #ResistTrump

There is so much in the news cycle these days that the complete dismantling of the Forest Service -- so *our* forests can be auctioned off to Big TImber -- is unfortunately getting little air play. But if this happens, US landscapes may be almost unrecognizable in a decade, and never coming back. 🌍

Uhhh, folks? This is real bad. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We aren't on a slippery slope to a constitutional crisis. We are IN the crisis. Time for leaders - political leaders, business leaders, civic leaders - to pick a side: democracy or autocracy?

Trump Prepares DESPERATE SCHEME as He Sees WRITING ON THE WALLS. Was Trump's use of federalized national guard & ICE troops in LA a dress rehearsal for Trump interfering with or cancelling federal elections starting at the midterm? #legal www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edl2...

“A year after Helene, what exactly Trump’s GoFundMe campaign paid for remains unclear… Several [recipient organizations] responded to an initial email and offered vague explanations, but none except Mtn2Sea Ministries responded to follow-ups for a more specific breakdown of related expenditures.”

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

Trump fired the office of pandemic preparedness in 2018. So it is Trump and COVID liars and an evolving coronavirus that killed 20 millIon people. (rightwing COVID liars want to blame others to protect Trump; that’s why Trump hired Bhattacharya, a rightwing operative.)

They’re not Nazis because they disagree with us. They’re Nazis because they use the rhetoric of Nazis, are supported by Nazi groups, hold Nuremberg-like political rallies, and they send armed thugs to patrol American streets demanding "papers" and kidnapping minorities.

FYI: most people use Murdoch’s NY Post 🗞️ for fish 🐠 wrap. So, DHS leaks this bogus political spin to this tabloid rag with zero credibility and promotes their right wing spin known for its inflammatory inaccuracies. This regime is testing Americans’ collective gullibility hourly.

Georgia people: pay attention to utility commission races! (Everyone should, but almost no one does. 😦)

A judge cleared the way for Revolution Wind to keep building. It’s a sign that Trump’s legal strategy isn’t working in his war on wind. Why does this matter? There are still 12 lawsuits entangling 8 other offshore wind farms in America. My latest 👇 www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

Absurde never ending summer in CANADA🇨🇦 with temperatures still close to 33C in Saskatchewan today. More to come tomorrow and than another heat wave on the weekend and start of next week. Absolutely insane and unprecedented.

It's difficult to imagine how Dept of the Interior bureaus (e.g., National Park Service, US Geological Survey, US Fish and Wildlife Service) will be able to meet their missions if, as planned, they lose up to 30% of original workforce. Capacity is already *extremely* strained from recent losses.

This is the most important thing we have ever done. And it’s just getting started.

First the beautiful rose garden was paved over. Now they’re cutting down 200+ year old trees to the clear the way for Trumps ballroom. Taxpayers will pay about a half a billion dollars for this. We don’t need a ballroom. Its for his billionaire pals. Poor beautiful White House

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...
