“I watched video afterwards, and you can hear that agent cocking his gun ... I just remember telling the students to get back because kids were literally still walking out of school, and the students were seeing these agents tackle their teachers.” trib.al/Uub1cQD

Since things are already bad, maybe now is the time for net payer states (= blue states) to consider holding their residents’ federal income tax payments in escrow until ICE and DHS back the fuck down.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

So pleased that the @startribune.com ran my Letter to the Editor today about cities providing transparency to their residents about entertaining a relationship with #ICE.

Welp, according to this model, even if we manage to go #carbon-negative, centuries from now the Southern Ocean will burp its accumulated heat and warm the #atmosphere all over again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Duh, it's not EITHER but BOTH re: systemic vs individual #climate action: "people more willing to engage in hi-impact climate action themselves, & who believed these actions to be more effective, showed more support for systemic solutions & a stronger perceived need for structural change."

Get out and ... well, maybe not smell the flowers, but watch the leaves fall, there's poetry in nature.

Do you really need more evidence that government oversight is CRITICAL for protecting people? This example is from the 2018 shutdown, but I don't think coal plants have gotten more ethical since then.

A little snapshot of the incredible things scientists can achieve if governments and societies allow them to, and the staggering potential loss if funding disappears.

Bless people like William Barber who have the spine to tell truth to power. Every one of us should do the same in whatever way we can. Share the story! It deserves to be covered extensively.

You're not crazy - @klobuchar.senate.gov has made some questionable (to put it lightly) decisions in the past 100 days, and her constituents would do well to continue to question her motivations. Trust has been eroded, social capital considerably diminished.

Well stated @georgemonbiot.bsky.social - devastatingly concise summary re: food waste. "Individuating blame for a systemic problem” captures what's wrong w. attempts to solve #climate #sustainability #environment problems (& is a phrase that will live rent free in my head for some time to come).

I had such a good time at the celebration of 25 years of CERTs with @mncerts.bsky.social yesterday! The whole place was suffused with positivity, hope, empathy, perseverance, and a collaborative spirit. Made some new connections, too!
