Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Do you know how hard it is to get this many Americans to agree to something political

CEOs who cast aspersions at short sellers are both financially illiterate & have something to hide, especially those who manipulate their stock via the options market. When everyone, including the simps like Omar Qazi 🤡, dumps $TSLA indiscriminately, the shorts will be the only buyers.

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. - Assata Shakur Pic of the day #photography

And Congress (captured by the far right authoritarian party) continues to do nothing while a runaway SCOTUS (also captured by the far right authoritarian party) does nothing in the face of this brazen, unprecedented theft of its constitutional powers. <all together now>

"A warming of 3C by 2050, which we cannot rule out, is already within the scope of the possible scenarios of the latest IPCC report. As professional societies, we have a social responsibility to point out potential risks in a timely manner" Prof. Klaus Richter, Pres. of the German Physical Society

There are zero reasons to hope that humans will change, other than hope for hope’s sake, and for avoiding the truth of human nature. I choose truth over hope a million times over - if anything it is much more “hopeful”, as it is more likely to lead to real action

"This was identified early on as the likely outcome." Investors jumped on this technology, not because it would actually solve the problem, but because they could make loads of money provided by desperate governments eager to show they were doing something. /1 www.theguardian.com/news/2025/se...

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

For accuracy, white supremacists should be the villains in more American movies.

Police shot stun grenades and rubber bullets, then turned to tear gas, in Los Angeles on Saturday. The gathering there was separate from the local “No Kings” event.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Good news -- Appelate court rules that CA Board of Forestry's plan to clear millions of acres of native chaparral habitat for 'fire hazard reduction' is illegal, bc it fails to address the impact of type conversion to invasive weeds that increase flammability. 🌏 chaparralwisdom.org/2025/05/31/a...

Our civilisation is run by profit, not humans. Within this context, all biological life has no intrinsic value other than what it can raise as leftover scrap in the single-use necrocapitalist economy

In southern Syria, water resources are increasingly scarce due to climate change. Since the collapse of the Assad regime in December, Israel’s military has seized key water resources in the region. By @natachadanon.bsky.social for @newlinesmag.bsky.social

Sea surface temperatures in the northern half of the Atlantic Ocean continue to come down from their exceptional peak a year ago. Data from @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 (psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded...).

Yes, Antarctic sea-ice extent has been crashing, with the 3-year running average recently setting a new record low, down nearly 20% from its 2016 peak and more than 10% from its long-term average. The 3-year running average smoothes out short-term anomalies and tells the story:

Over 90% of kelp forests have vanished in just 10 years in some regions. Indigenous communities call kelp the ocean’s “veins,” carrying life through the currents. Now the pulse is fading. apple.news/A59Y2swUqQ6q...

Days after storms tore a path of destruction across the Midwest, severe weather is once again expected on Sunday into Monday. The forecast is potentially for “all severe hazards,” including hail, strong winds and tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service.

Fascinating. I always thought mature woodland was resistant to fire, but wasn't 100% sure. Confirmed. It could spur interesting debate re natural, hands-off rewilding vs accelerated ecological succession by planting oak, etc. Any rewilding is better than nothing! CC @irishrainforest.bsky.social

“A review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car. The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”

...it concluded since the landslide was triggered by the melting glacier, and since *that* happened due to rising global temperatures... This was a signal - and a warning - from our rapidly changing world, heard in every single part of it. Best we listen up. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 10/

For 9 days, the whole of our planet rang like a bell. BONG BONG BONG. We are all connected by bongs! (No, I don't mean....ok, I might try to disable the replies on this bit.) And when the paper on all this was published a year later... 9/

New look at the landscape beneath Antarctica 🇦🇶 Without the 27.17 million km³ of ice. This clearly shows that much the West-Antarctic Ice Sheet is below sea level. That's why it melts rapidly in a warmer climate, like it did ~120,000 years ago during the Eemian interglacial.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has spent much of his career trailed by a raft of criminal and civil accusations. The most serious legal threat he faced — a federal criminal probe into allegations of corruption — is now over. With @texastribune.org

We are about two weeks away from the start of peak heat in India and surrounding countries. Some places are already registering 45°C (113°F) or higher.

Heavy rains have triggered severe flooding in DR Congo's capital, Kinshasa, killing at least 30 people and destroying homes and roads.

There is simply NO rational justification for this other than the wholesale destruction of all national environmental and health protections and the protection of polluting industries. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
