OK. Time for lunch. Will pop back for a bit next Thursday.

Trump keeps trying to deny climate change and denigrate clean energy because he knows that decarbonizing to net zero would drain the source of authoritarian power. Climate silence only helps Trump.

Reminder: the NACT government closed the Climate Emergency Fund established to deal with climate emergencies. Whoops. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

RFK Jr.'s proteinaceous food pyramid is a land hog and a climate killer

Climate change is really, really expensive

MLK Words in today's social climate

The 1968 flu pandemic occurred between 1968 and 1970 and killed up to 4 million people globally. It is among the deadliest pandemics in history. Apparently, we didn't learn much because viral pandemics keep happening again and again and again... #Airborne #Cleantheair

Trump is what the US is and always has been. He's what you get when you drop the veneer of respectability and take the mask off the empire. This has always been a deeply fascist state that provides the illusion of "democracy," while oppressing its own people and everyone else around the world.

The Pentagon is drawing up plans to invade a US city

Research ties long #COVID in kids to chronic school absenteeism, learning problems Long COVID was also linked to a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

All the pundits who were outraged at kids missing school in the early days of the COVID pandemic are welcome to speak up ANY TIME NOW

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Mr.Smith Goes To Washington......

TODAY on #MSNOW: 10am-2pm/EST 7am-11am/PST-Jack Smith Finally Testifies to Congress about when our Presidementia incited an insurrection at the Capitol to steal a free & fair election & when he stole Top-Secret Gov't Documents & stored them in his bathroom. Y'know... many, many, MANY crimes ago.

Phil Collins: "I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up, you know, everything that started that could, all seemed to converge at the same time.” He joins a LONG LIST of high-profile individuals who are now disabled since Covid began. consequence.net/2026/01/phil...

Jack Smith: “The investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity — no one should be above the law in this country & the law required he be held to account”

Thursday. Brief doomscroll & I'm out.

Oh, a goosebumps song! Beautiful and spot on, and sad.

Thank you. I keep screaming & singing into the void. Even if no one listens! Wrote this song. The story had been haunting me since seeing it on the news last week. #GoodvsEvil #JusticeForNicoleGood #AbolishICE youtu.be/rtf89QlxAwQ?...

Had enough doomscrolling for today. Until next Thursday. Take care, cats...

Everything is bleak. The rise of fascism. The lack of humanity. The cruelty & corruption that go unchecked. The Covid pandemic & climate emergency that most ignore. Made this video. I try to raise awareness & keep a sense of humour. It's survival. Take care. Stay safe. youtu.be/dlWE085KVa4?...

Indeed, everything is bleak. Thanks Ann Marie for your creativity and commitment!

The U.S. Goes Rogue On The Climate Fight

In today's news... true and frightening statistics on Canadians' views re the current US/World's current political climate. infonews.ca/news/7501734...

We’ve fought fascism and oligarchy before, and it’s so boring to have to do it again when our primary focus should be on addressing climate change. But the fascists and oligarchs are exacerbating climate change and hindering our efforts to combat it, so fight them we will.

The 1991-2020 climate doesn't exist anymore 😟

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

According to the news “The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses,” so if you were looking for yet another reason to keep wearing a mask the EPA has just given it to you.

Thank you @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social for warning the few who listened that even mild COVID infections can cause immune system damage. It’s shameful you had to endure insults & censorship simply for telling the truth & trying to help people.

WTF ‼️🤬 Tribal leaders say ICE is detaining American Indians during immigration sweeps The Oglala Sioux Tribe is trying to locate four members detained by ICE agents in Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/ice-detainin...

How is this not inciting violence? Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity? One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law. Be safe Minneapolis.

Funny how basic airborne infection controls (masking, HEPAs, window cracked 2cm) are framed as a "burden," while the burden of being repeatedly exposed to Covid is dismissed as anxiety & goes unacknowledged

Sadly, asking people to mask & take precautions on behalf of others less fortunate doesn’t work so well in these selfish, cruel times. People should be advised to mask in order to save themselves from early death or disability. In fact, everyone is vulnerable to the harms of COVID.

The leading cause of death among ICE officers? COVID-19.

JAMA: COVID-19 infection in pregnancy is associated with increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in early childhood. We were warned about maternal immune activation YEARS ago. Clean air, masking, and prevention were never “overreactions.” They were child-protection. They still are.

It's almost like Long Covid effects virtually everyone that gets Covid... Which is virtually everyone at this point...

It boggles my mind that in 2026 people are still getting hospital acquired Covid. They’re still having to choose between care and Covid. They’re still having to risk their health to access medical care. We can do better than this. Clean air and respirators save lives!

www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-... You have to wonder how much Trump’s assholes are behind all the riots in Minn. The Gestapo agents are told to cause as much violence as possible to get people riled up so I can send Troops in. This asshole is using the constitution as TP!

This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time. Some thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/2052...

Thursday. Brief doomscroll...

OK that's enough doomscrolling for today...

2026 is looking bleak so far. All the existential threats from 2025 still apply (& are likely WORSE!) Will they move the Doomsday Clock? Michelle suggested they set it to 67 seconds to midnight! We'll see what happens... New video on YouTube: #StayAlarmedAndAdapt youtu.be/dlWE085KVa4?...
