1/2 Word to the wise: If your name does not match your birth certificate, get thee a current passport. I’m having a huge hassle obtaining a Colorado driver’s license after my move. I provided my original birth certificate, Social Security card, previous driver’s license, proof of current address.

In #MagnificaHumanitas, Pope Leo situates our moment of technological "advancement" against the backdrop of Catholic social teaching and the sanctity of both God's people and God's planet. Read more on the environmental themes in EarthBeat: www.ncronline.org/news/ai-ency... #EcoCatholic

Winning! Keep up the pressure. Abolish ICE. Defund DHS. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

This is the professional conference I attend every year for my work in healthcare sustainability. Delighted that we honored Ms. Reed with this award. Well deserved!

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

When we have a real president again, he or she will have to waste inordinate amounts of time cleaning up the terrible mess created by this awful mistake of a human who never should have been allowed near the levers of power.

Perfection 🤩

Wow, BBC Earth has posted this three-hour-long video to YouTube of David Attenborough narrating Unbelievable Moments From Nature. Put it on in the background while you work...it's great. [kottke.org]

The GAO, Congress’s independent watchdog, reports that improper payments surged to $186 billion, with $153 billion of that coming from overpayments alone. This shows it was never about the money, only the data.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

@bsky.app Please fix this! When I click on a photo attached to a post & then click the back arrow, it takes me back to the very top of my feed. I am then forced to scroll down to find the spot where I just was again. Soooooooo annoying.

Trump plasters his name everywhere anntelnaes.substack.com/p/vulgar-and...

Trump wanted a war with Iran because he thought Americans would rally around a war president and it would drive his poll numbers up. It did the opposite. So thousands of lives & billions of dollars were wasted, and the price you pay for gas is significantly higher, because Donald Trump is an idiot.

"We can fight to stop the ballroom. If this means leaving the area as a destruction site for the rest of Trump’s presidency, so be it. Let its ugliness exemplify the ugliness of the Trump era. Let its rubble symbolize what he's tried to do to the American republic." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The world is drowning in plastic. Experts say we need to stop making so much. But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic. Don't be fooled. (Published June 2024)

Small victories!! I had a very high hospital bill during my 18 months of cancer treatment, which would have wiped out my HSA. I appealed, & all was written off except my co-pays. (1 of 2…..)

When it all feels too heavy, put it down for a while. Do not let it break you, or turn you into the thing you despise. We’ve been fighting this madness for a while. It’s ok to feel weary. Do not spiral into despair. Hang tough. We’re in it together. We’ll get through it. Together.

Today proves that you can indeed indict a ham 🥪 8 6 4 7 🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚 😡

leave it to Trump, the GOP, and nuts like Meghan McCain in response to shots fired to say build a corrupt WH ballroom instead of pushing for gun reform.

Choosing local when buying books is more than just where you shop: You’re protecting creativity. You’re defending the freedom to read. You’re uplifting diverse voices. You’re investing in neighbors. Today, and every day, we celebrate and support indie bookstores. Happy Independent Bookstore Day!

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

Note to the NYT: ‘North Atlantic’, NOT ‘North American’ Plus an excellent essay by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Quote from my wise husband about today’s Artemis II launch (1/2): “Can we bring this to the top of the news page? What happens when smart people work together to do something more than get rich. Every last person involved is doing so because their imaginations were captured by an idea.”

My favorite tulips are blooming! We did not plant them; they have been cheerfully popping up every spring for 30+ years.

It’s the biggest story. Dems forced Republicans to the table with a common sense solution. Fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard, then negotiate over ICE reforms. Trump said “no.” No deals with Democrats. Just like with the immigration bill in 2024. A disabled GOP in Congress is in Trump’s interest.

Wisdom from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social This should be obvious to everyone.

NEW: Trump administration is being sued by consortium of 100+ universities to stop the breakup of the NCAR lab in Colorado. Alleges that the feds "are waging a campaign of retribution against the State of Colorado" over mail-in ballots and the imprisonment of Tina Peters.

Let’s hear it for the nice ladies! 🧡

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Better headline: Republicans refuse to fund FEMA, TSA and CISA during their DHS shutdown.

Iran conducted a cyberattack against a huge US medtech company, bringing supply chain to a halt & causing procedures to be rescheduled. The war is directly affecting all of us in the US. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/i...

After 30+ years, thousands of lives and trillions of wasted dollars, most Americans know this much. Stay the hell out of the Middle East. Watching the most delusional and incompetent administration in our lifetimes try to convince us otherwise, would be comical if it wasn’t dangerous.

No. More. War.

Until yesterday I was proud of being from Kansas, but not right now. ☹️🌻❤️‍🩹

I wonder if this will ever be completely sorted out, or see the light of day. We all knew that DOGE’s purpose was not to reduce waste, fraud & abuse. Its purpose was to wreck the government and steal data. Who is the DOGE Administrator, by the way? No one will ever be held accountable.
