This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

Climate change is literally canceling US independence Day celebrations. The July 4 parade in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, has been canceled due to extreme heat. Heat waves aren’t new - what’s new is that climate change is making them hotter and more dangerous.

As a historian, I approve this message

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

It’s genuinely terrifying that someone posting like this has access to nuclear codes.

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

fuck This shit -- this is Trump taking our tax money, and he could literally give every asshole who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6 a million dollars each

Donald Trump is about to take $1.7 billion of OUR tax dollars and redistribute it to the terrorists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. Remember that the next time you fill your tank with $4.50-per-gallon gas or struggle to pay your insurance premium.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Tried to catch the rainbow and lightning photobombed my iPhone shot. #WXsky #ILwx

This should terrify everyone. Not just parents. Take away kid’s imagination, take away their creativity, you take away their future & ability to critically think, which is probably the point. I truly don’t know what we’ll do if AI is still this unregulated & pervasive when our kiddo gets to MS/HS.

An odd thing to say for a country that has bombed like 8 other countries in the last year, kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation, and killed about 200 people in international waters with zero due process or oversight.

They should try being teachers.

This is such a flagship moment for where America is right now. Gun violence, showmanship, celebrity, mass confusion, and also according to C-SPAN, people are opening the bottles of wine still on the tables.

Yes, because resuming a dinner program five minutes after a violent attack is completely normal. WTF? This is why people cast doubt upon previous attempts such as Trump immediately popping up for his fist pump photo-op. How do you know it’s all clear? Why aren’t they locking down?

I'm not sure which planet he's talking about but it's not Earth.

We’ve hit the “is he the antichrist?” Part of the news cycle

“I was fine with the lying, the cheating, the raping, the racism, and the countless deaths he’s caused, but depicting himself as Jesus is where I draw the line” is such a bad, and extremely telling, take.

I want to remind everyone that the president posted a picture of himself as Jesus and, when enough people complained, deleted it, saying he thought it was a picture of him as a doctor. By his own account, the best case scenario is that he's so far gone he doesn't know what a doctor is anymore

Instead of acknowledging his bestie Orban’s defeat, Trump is attacking the pope. (After)life choices.

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction. It’s abuser behaviour.

What an extremely-specific-moment-in-history photo.

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

Imagine being in Iran right now. Waiting. Waiting for 8 PM, knowing a man halfway across the world just said your entire civilization could be wiped at that hour. Your family in the next room. Your phone buzzing. No one knows if it’s real, bluff, or the last normal hour you’ll ever have.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

"Stop paying attention to the things the President says" is just not a viable argument.

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

Holy wow. Artemis is about to go behind the moon from our POV so that's Earth as it starts to slide behind the moon from the space capsule's POV!

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

ICE has illegally broken into homes w/ battering rams, pointed guns at children, & needlessly put lives in danger. These weren't accidents by poorly trained officers. A secret memo told ICE to search homes without a warrant. These are blatant Fourth Amendment violations. We're suing. ⬇️

Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch. Wow.

Artemis II is headed for the moon! GOES-19 caught this amazing view of the exhaust plume from the rocket as it launched from Cape Canaveral.

Absolutely this. We go to space and learn about the cosmos and astrophysics and all of it so that we can better understand our home, our Earth, its miraculous uniqueness in space and time

A lot of SCOTUS decisions are dumb, badly reasoned, even dangerous, but merit compliance out of respect for the rule of law and the Court's position under Article III. A decision denying birthright citizenship is a challenge to the constitutional order and should be understood as such.

The written word abides! Now's the time to nominate writers for the @ametsoc.org Award for Distinguished Science Journalism and for the Battan Awards for best atmos-related books for adult and K-12 audiences. See links below, after a word from our president. 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKWn...

Sucks to suck, I guess 🤷‍♀️. #thoughtsandprayers

Would slightly amend this: The people who work for our government deserve leadership that’s better than this.

The Law of Armed Conflict prohibits targeting power plants unless they power military infrastructure. Saying you are going to blow up all of Iran's power plants starting with the biggest one is a blatant war crime.

we're supposed to believe the Trump administration has spent more than a year doing a mass deportation of the worst of the worst criminals, but also there are sleeper cells of undocumented Iranians in the country that constitute a grave national security threat. the math ain't mathing.

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.

God almighty what a piece of shit. And where's the GOP outrage over celebrating someone's death? Tell you what, when That Day comes, I'll be dancing.

There are people who will lose their jobs when they say this about Trump when he dies

The grift continues...

Gorgeous snow in Stowe, VT this morning.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

The new Reading 'warming stripes' double-decker electric bus came to campus today. The bus is painted in the local warming stripes to start climate conversations throughout the town.
