4 sides, if you count the ground. Miami sits atop the Biscayne Aquifer. Is where the drinking water comes from. The higher sea level rise - the smaller the fresh water layer in the aquifer. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

Making Americans poor again. Typical predator behavior, SCOTUS says no, so you do whatever unlawful shit anyway. We literally divorced ourselves from England for less in #tarrifs. 25th amendment, anyone? Here he is fulfilling his promise to ‘destroy the country’. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/b...

Pretty sure we’re unpopular at best & a threat to everyone at worst. Why would anyone want to invest in a country terrorizing citizens at home & threatening war abroad? Plus #tariffs, $ depreciation, etc. Just another sign the #TrumpEconomy is all about bankrupting the #US.

Some 88 countries and regions, including the U.S., the U.K. and the EU, today endorsed an India-led declaration on artificial intelligence with little commitment to keep the technology safe.

The presumed upcoming El Nino will help cement and quantify global warming acceleration, showing that 2C global warming is likely to be reached in the 2030s, not at midcentury.

I spoke with the NYTs about how climate activists are increasingly being targeted by the Trump Administration, why, and what is the likely outcome (which didn't make it into the piece). @xrglobal.bsky.social @xrnyc.bsky.social @climatedefiance.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/n...

The Democratic chief election officials of six states are denouncing two new voter suppression bills making their way through Congress — underscoring how the legislation would place a huge burden on voters and election administrators just as midterm election season kicks off.

“A complete total assault on all our environmental progress.” At the Munich Security Conference, California Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov did not hold back when speaking to #WeDontHaveTime about Donald Trump’s latest attack on science. Share this interview if you agree.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, he cost you $1,000 last year.

One of the administration’s more brazen and alarming assaults on democracy: trying to criminalize speech by legislators from the opposition party.

Just going to leave this here. SAVE Act 2.0 is next level Jim Crow.Have you heard? It will make it harder to vote, and force ICE and DHS to have voter rolls. Join @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

Homan joined Trump in 2017. He embraced Trump’s family separation policy. After 2018, he was a Fox News commentator. In 2024 he was reportedly recorded accepting a bag containing $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents who were investigating multiple allegations that Homan accepts bribes

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up. Nature isn't just 'nice to have'. Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems. share.google/NoVLRatfUoH5...

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Despite Israel's continuous violations of the U.S.-backed ceasefire in Gaza, President Trump "is fully supporting whatever Israel wants to do in continuing its genocide, and possibly even following Israel into Syria, Lebanon and Iran," says journalist Rami Khouri.

“Tell us you’re a millennial without saying you’re a millennial” energy to the max. #MrBrightside

America's eight biggest retailers made $548 BILLION after the Trump tax cuts. They spent $340 billion on dividends & stock buybacks for rich investors. And their CEOs were paid $1.3 billion. THAT'S what happens when you cut corporate taxes—not lower costs, not worker raises.

Americans are paying 93 percent more for health care so Trump can give billionaires tax breaks. Health insurance is getting worse, and Republicans are getting exactly what they wanted. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/eFOESIW

Talk about an accurate headline for these times. I guess most Americans are rep’d by district 13 and such, and Elon and co are district 1. A nice Caligula type distraction from the shite economy and environmental wasteland he’s making. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... #HungerGamesAreAmericaNow

reality has already happened - we’ve crossed 1.5C and there are large areas of tundra in the arctic region that are not waiting for approval from an IPCC spreadsheet to start melting and ooze methane into the atmosphere they’re already doing so

Despite campaign promises to lower Americans’ energy bills, Trump’s policies pushing to increase LNG exports will have the opposite effect.

Trump’s agenda reads less like a diplomatic framework for peace and more like a corporate restructuring plan for Russia.
