[tv commercial opens] [a woman comes into a kitchen and puts down her grocery bags] “as a busy mom, I’m always looking for faster, cheaper ways to launder hundreds of millions of dollars”

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

This is, by other means, version 2.0 of the move of ERS to KC during trump1, which effectively set the agency back and reduced its portfolio particularly on env'l issues. Now they are gutting ERS because of its good work in showing evidence of structural inequities and poverty. A real disgrace.

Congress can end Trump’s Epstein cover-up: act.indivisible.org/sign/epstein...

Please cancel your Disney+ subscription. I did. Let’s show the Mouse that their customers are more formidable than Trump.

My department at UC Davis is hiring a mycologist, broadly interpreted. Please repost, share, and consider applying. recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07339

They clearly don't want evidence based decision making when you c. simply label stuff you don't like as, "waste, fraud, and abuse". Our local food bank is still hammered by DoGE's cuts.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Education is the enemy of fascism.

Been clean and sober from X for 10 months and it feels great. I used to think I needed to be on there to "engage in the debate." Nah. It's worse than a waste of time. Even seemingly righteous engagement there does nothng but fuel a fascist propaganda machine. Just. Stop.

Whatever you do, don’t call this person, who is a close advisor to the President, a threat to American democracy.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

If a coal mine pollutes the environment but the EPA doesn't measure it, then did the mine really pollute the environment. 🙄

Shame on Brazil… …for making us look feckless.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.

Breaking: Missouri House passes new gerrymandered US House map giving GOP 90% of seats in state Trump won with 58% of vote. Destroys district held by Black Rep Emanuel Cleaver, one of 2 Dems in state Texas was just start of Trump’s sweeping plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Incredible time-lapse of massive #freeDC march to White House yesterday www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6cRVJ1q/ which I might add the @washingtonpost.com barely covered

There is no democratic justification for withholding these files. This is a coverup.⁩

Substack by @mrillig.bsky.social mentioned value of "advanced trust" to DE scientists. USA govt scientists are losing 📉 AT at a record pace. Ex/USDA banned 147 words, heavy restrictions on travel (even to farmers/ranchers), ALL presentations must be externally vetted... Over reach by Big Brother.

I'm not sure many folks realize just how persistent the warming from CO2 is. Here is a set of 1000-year climate model runs (using FaIR) simulating one year of CO2 emissions (40 gigatons in 2020); a millennia later the world has not cooled back down!

Heritage Foundation's Project Ezra is on full display. As predicted, our fascism is Christian Nationalists draped in American flags.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

MAGA for soybean farmers. FAFO...

The fruits of decades of right-wing media's snakeoil salesman are bearing fruit. We now have a third of the country embracing pseudoscience. We must thank the champions of corporate greed (e.g. FOX, right-wing media). /s 🙄 #foxtakedown #teslatakedown #workersoverbillionaires

Not the main point but the same energy as 9 seconds of running a giant high definition screen the size of a dining table to generate a tiny amount of incorrect text is actually nuts

What outstanding leadership by @andrewdessler.com in putting together a highly competent response to outrageous disinformation in no time all. Honored to play a small part.

“I wanted to live somewhere where this would never happen again.” On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, here’s the story of a woman who fled Louisiana for the “climate haven” of Asheville, only to see her community destroyed again by Helene.

We will be ready. #NoKings deuce! ❌👑 🖕 fascists

Labor Day: Worker's rights are under attack! First they came for the socialists and I did nothing because I wasn't a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did nothing... Stop the cycle. Search Mobilize.us for a #WorkersOverBillionaires protest near you.

Lettuce Now Praise Famous Men

Comment on New DOE Climate Report by 9/2 A new biased report by DOE, authored by five researchers, downplays the threat of climate change. EPA used this report when it announced its proposed deregulation of greenhouse gas emissions. A public comment period is open until Sept. 2. DOE-HQ-2025-0207

Trump is surrounded by yes men who are afraid of being curious and asking basic questions about DoGE's cryptic actions. DoGE claims to be transparent but won't respond to FOIA, violate Records rules by communicating mainly on Signal, etc. They are the definition of the deepstate.

Enjoyed learning about the career path of mycorrhizal ecologist @tobykiers.bsky.social! Thanks NPR! Great video showing resources move thru mycorrhizal fungi! www.npr.org/sections/pla...

Trump claims there is an energy emergency but P2025 playbook openly attacks renewables & helps legacy fossil fuels (e.g. tax cuts, EPA rule exemptions). www.newsweek.com/agriculture-...

Well, at least future Democratic administrations can stop paying lip service to "technology neutrality" in energy policy. Pick winners and shut down the losers. Stop bringing pool noodles to knife fights.

What lessons are being learned? What are we teaching our children? There are no words that can articulate how disgusted and outraged I feel every day living in the USA under this fascist evil party.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

Oh, no doubt about it.

The stupid is ongoing

BREAKING NEWS: FBI Conducts Search at John Bolton’s Home. Nothing like a little political retribution on a Friday morning. Tell me America is not a fascist country without telling me it’s not a fascist country.

Executive Order declared an Energy Emergency. 🙄 Now Sec. Rollins is putting the brakes on agrivoltaics... Arm waving that they help China. 🤔 Rollins has obviously never been in a Walmart or looked at where #MAGA merch is made. 😕 Sec. is a fossil fuel biz puppet. www.newsweek.com/agriculture-...
