Just read an article about jellyfish migrating north into warmer waters; the theory that they’re being driven by climate change is apparently wrong. Turns out they were just heading north to DC to hang out with the platonic ideal of spinelessness, @schumer.senate.gov and the @democrats.org caucus

Hey look, @fetterman.senate.gov is even better at fucking the working class than @bunnyranchnv.bsky.social

Americans know our economy is rigged. Billionaires become richer while working people can’t afford health care, housing & food.   If Trump wants my vote to fund the government, he must not raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million people or throw millions off health care.

Every person of faith who voted for this should be ashamed.

Well worth the read.

I have been homeless, I have been unable to work, and I have felt what it is like to live with a chronic condition that, through no fault of your own, will prevent you from achieving your ambitions. Impotent ambition and true powerlessness are some of the worst feelings in the world.

Recession is inevitable at this point- my biggest question is if the world is going to be able to simply move on without us while we get our house in order.

Trump's reconciliation bill is the most dangerous bill I have seen in my time in Congress. – 17 million lose health care – 20% cut to food aid for families – Adds more to the debt than any bill in history – Energy bills spike 30% – Guts US clean energy and cedes our edge to China

Beyond this, you know who is most likely to vote to screw corrupt machine interests out of sheer contrariness? New Yorkers who have been getting screwed for way too long. Tit for tat.

A great @rexhuppke.bsky.social piece on how to still be a patriot when your president is a dictator www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If we’re getting screwed, it needs to be equally- that way the folks who put Trump in his seat can see just how empty his promises really are.

The world must be set free.

This is how they come for anyone they disagree with. Vote for a democrat- any democrat. There are a lot of issues with the Democratic Party, and yea they helped put us here. But they are also the only ones who can unfuck this.

“In our first summer, the first three months, our electric bill was only like $15 because we have solar panels, and it was a very sunny summer.” Here’s how one Ohio homeowner used federal tax credits to save big on appliances that lower her energy bills: www.rewiringamerica.org/stories/clev...

I am heartbroken by the news from Colorado where Karen Diamond, a victim of the vicious attack earlier this month, has passed away. May Karen’s memory be a blessing and a reminder that we must constantly work to eradicate hatred and violence.

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

We need better public transit and more of it, not a turnpike expansion! For $11 billion we could upgrade and extend an awful lot of train service, as well as fund citibikes in major metros and high density villages. We could have trolley cars, more buses, and light rail expansions.

These are not harmless lies. They are aimed at the keystones of American life. This is how the American dream dies a final death; it is up to us to stop the execution.

This is abhorrent. It isn’t just a slap in the face to our founding fathers- it is a vile, evil thing, a weapon aimed at the heart of the American Ideal and the standards to which we as a nation should aspire. We are the world’s only remaining superpower- 1/2 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We sailed past ridiculous some time ago.

This is a beautiful explanation.

But the Republican Party says climate change isn’t real!

Friend of mine’s bus today. And it’s the coolest summer of the rest of our lives.

Time to tax wealth.

I don’t believe Trump is as stupid as progressives like to say he is. I think he is intelligent and cunning, with an ego the size of Alaska and the emotional regulation of a child. But if he’s not stupid? The only explanation for this is malice aforethought. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Buckle up. Tariff consequences +war + drought = starvation in American cities.

Yay!

It is our duty to quietly and peacefully stand in the breach when Americans are threatened- when people who cannot stand up for themselves need a voice.

Some good climate news for your day.

As a New Jerseyan, 100% agree.

That is a very, very large compost heap. Given I have a few on our farm, and they barely emit enough heat to warm you up if you’re laying on it, this sounds insane.

Religious leaders remembering what compassion is supposed to look like is something I am thrilled to see. We need our spiritual lasers to show a way to a better world, not drag us to a place of fear.

Iran has been a problematic force for some time; but this is an ill considered venture. Diplomacy could have succeeded over time, but it was sabotaged by Trump, failed to be revived by Biden, and now the lack of a deal (Trump’s fault) will lead to war. We are indeed led by a “very stable genius”.

It's #ShowYourStripes day--a striking way to visualize amount of #climate warming that has occurred. In this short thread, I present "warming stripes" two ways for 3 major California cities (Sacramento, San Francisco, & Los Angeles), & reflect on context. #CAwx #CAwater #CAfire

We should put solar on every building and have nuclear for the overflow, or geothermal or hydroelectric if geography makes them available. Those can pick up the whole tab in places like Alaska, or other spots in the arctic circle.

@cleanpowerdave.bsky.social Curious what you think of the solar fencing for livestock agriculture that Rutgers is testing.

You do, in fact, need to winterize wind turbines. They can ice up, which poses two dangers; one, they then don’t work and produce power. Two, it can burn out the motor or destroy the balance/efficiency of the blades, increasing both cost and carbon footprint. 1/2

If you have someone you love or are someone on Medicaid, educate yourself. Educate others. And then have them call Congress, and call yourself. Tom Kean: (202) 225-5361 #nj07 #nj7 @njindivisible.bsky.social @onenj7.bsky.social

Too hot? Vote for a climate candidate. If in NJ LD23, myself and Guy Citron- in #NJ07, anyone but Kean. He’s not too worried about climate resilience- even as his district alternately fries and washes away.

The problem with these massive bills are that they cannot be transparent.

This is why a critical mission of the NJ legislature should be the protection of farmland. “The Garden State” should be able to feed her own.

The difference between this and most other issues is that when you explain public land belongs to the people, “Don’t Know” becomes “from my cold dead hands” in a hurry. Undecideds aren’t for selling public land- they just haven’t heard yet.

Our 1787 Constitution became law 237 yrs ago today when NH ratified it June 21, 1788, because Article VII made that new Constitution binding in all 13 states once the 9th ratified it, superseding Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation, which had impossibly required unanimity for every change.

Public land is a novel concept- we are the only nation with it. Crown lands in commonwealth countries are held by the Crown- not the people. State lands like we see in most of the rest is the world are owned by the state. Public land belongs to us. 1/2 #nokings www.themeateater.com/conservation...
