Do NOT CAVE DEMS! Hold the line! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Ok, this is just funny. isportlandburning.com

A preliminary injunction hearing may follow later this month and the facts on the ground matter. If a right wing influencer with a camera is trying to goad you into a fight, there is a reason for that, and the reason is we could lose our legal standing to stop the feds from coming in.

Just horrible

Just a reminder, Portland is the best U.S. city to live in. Just my biased FACT

In the budget proposal for NASA submitted earlier this year, the Trump admin proposed cancelling more than 40 missions, including 14 Earth science missions. Agency employees have already been instructed to do the preparatory work for ending these satellite and instrument programs

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Importantly, Portlanders, avoid violence!

@schumer.senate.gov please, please do NOT cave again!!

Finished “The Hype about Hydrogen: False Promises and Real Solutions in the Race to Save the Climate. Revised and Uodated” by Joseph Romm. This is an excellent book debunking the grift that is the proposed (for decades) future grift of trying to push the Hydrogen economy as a solution.

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

…yeah it was the “wi-fi”

There. Is. No. Such. Thing. Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries. "Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.

"Oliver and his writers have built a worldview around the core belief that our government should make sure peoples’ basic needs are met, their rights protected, and their innate value as human beings reaffirmed." I wrote a short piece about an inspiring show. www.vulture.com/article/john...

Check out our team’s new paper about reducing nitrogen losses in US row-crop agriculture, by @mikebadzmierowski.bsky.social. Nitrogen is essential for crop production, but its overuse reduces air and water quality and emits potent GHGs. This paper examines solutions. www.wri.org/research/red...

“the vast majority of permitless carry states do not require background checks on gun sales between private parties, so someone could legally purchase and carry a firearm without undergoing a background check.” Seems like “democrat-cities” shouldn’t be the target but the complete opposite…

More than 445,000 federal employees saw their union protections disappear in August, as agencies moved to comply with an executive order President Trump signed earlier this year that called for ignoring collective bargaining contracts with nearly one million workers.

And this clown voted for the other clown’s nomination.

This is the second day in a row he’s said this. This is an intentional normalization effort.

Oh look, it's the thing every fascist government says about the opposition party before they dissolve them and turn the country into a one party state.

I spent a quarter century being lectured by libertarians and republicans about how minimal government oversight of large companies was radical socialism and if you mentioned nationalizing stuff like telecom for the public good they'd have a six week embolism

Hi, I am an expert on the website formally known as Twitter and support this thread

As so often, Trump says the quiet part out loud. Authoritarians dream of a day when "the CROOKED game of politics is over" and they can simply rule, in perpetuity, without challenge.

Maybe Black Mirror should stop giving these people ideas…

On The Climate Brink, Zeke Hausfather explains how the recent DOE climate report, written by climate contrarians, misrepresents his work. www.theclimatebrink....

Ughhh what a terrible time to be at the coast

a moral degenerate

New #SouthPark episode was 🔥 stand up to authoritarianism

Trump lied. Again. "journalist asked Trump, as he took questions from reporters at the White House, what Bondi told him about the Epstein files: “Specifically, did she tell you at all that your name appeared in the files?” “No, no, she’s—she’s given us just a very quick briefing,” Trump responded."

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING WSJ: The DOJ told Trump in May that his name is IN the Epstein Files. When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered Trump’s name appeared multiple times.

My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad

Anaerobic digesters are expensive to maintain. If you don’t invest in upkeep, the results can be deadly, and in the case of Seaboard Triumph, extremely gruesome too. Shocking story reported by @ninaelkadi.com sentientmedia.org/iowa-pork-pl...

As a casual observer who hasn’t covered the Epstein case, I didn’t think there was anything of note in these files… until people started going to these lengths to keep them secret.

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

Hillary Clinton's emails: 6

🧵Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website! Today I’m launching www.trumpactiontracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). 1/14

The current administration's systematic dismantling of our research infrastructure—402 documented attacks in just 6 months—represents more than policy disagreement. It's an abandonment of the principle that knowledge should serve the common good and expand opportunity for all communities.

As detention numbers creep upward, some advocates are worried that detainees could be compelled to work to fill gaps in the workforce of some of the most dangerous jobs in the country, including on factory farms and in slaughterhouses.

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans. President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

Confused. So (apart from the other crazy assumptions underlying this) will farm workers get health coverage? Bc the idea of kicking people off Medicaid is that they can get jobs that provide health insurance, right? I’m just trying to keep up with the plot

The Trump admin's new talking point on the Big Beautiful Bill: we're going to deport all the farm laborers and make people on Medicaid work in the fields to earn their health insurance.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I have never found a satisfying enough agricultural nitrogen cycle figure. I think I shall attempt to make one!

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

For perspective: a recent study suggested that economic savings from just a *single* well-predicted hurricane, thanks to NOAA research advancements, are on order of *$5 billion.* That exceeds NOAA's *entire proposed annual operating budget.* So much for government efficiency.

Nothing to see here. Just the President of the United States openly threatening to arrest and deport a candidate of the opposing party for his political opinions.
