This is America. This is DISGUSTING

actually watched this after seeing it scroll past several times and oh. oh dear.

If only the MAGAts were this intelligent. Taxing the billionaires would save our country. We could take from the money hoarders to feed the children, give sick Americans healthcare, and pay for education to put Americans back in the race. #Pinks #ProudBlue #TaxTheRich #EatTheRich #FuckTheRich

An Admiral who has a lifetime of exemplary service to our country, is allowing his legacy to become trash to protect an incompetent, drunkard Fox News host. Sad. For him, and our county.

Trump news at a glance: US supreme court gives Texas win in national redistricting battle

If you were wondering who were all those people gathered around Trump during his diabolical racist rant yesterday in the Oval Office, @billmckibben.bsky.social has the answer, and it reveals how the US auto industry keeps setting us back even further in the uphill climb toward sustainability.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

You can freeze dry your laundry in weather like that. Yeah, actually I am serious. Wear gloves and hang it fast.

“First, the District Court failed to honor the presumption of legislative good faith ….” Yeah I’m gonna stop you right there

Without evidence, Prasad claimed COVID-19 vaccines have killed 10 children in the US, and announced unilateral, sweeping changes to the way the agency regulates and approves vaccines, including seasonal flu shots. A dozen former FDA chiefs say that's deeply stupid. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

This increase in Outgoing Longwave Raditation (0.75 W/m² in 20 years!) led many climate sceptics (some ill intended, many honestly and understandably confused) to doubt the role of greenhouse gases. Without the 0.85 W/m² greenhouse gas forcing increase, 1.6 W/m² would now be leaving Earth as OLR!

Here's a new graphic that shows the running average for Arctic sea-ice extent, 1989-Present. The record low was set in 2021. As you can see, extent is just barely into "Code Yikes!" territory. Will we see "Code UFB!!!" in 2026? The Climate 8-ball is sitting on its hands.

One last update to the daily-color stripes for 2025, with data through the end of November, 2025. The last day of November in this graphic recorded 1.55°C above the pre-industrial baseline.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! PIOMAS just posted their Arctic sea-ice volume data for September, October and November (catching up after the Gov't shutdown). Here is the volume data, 1979 - 2025, showing a record low for both October and November: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...

The lawsuit refers to Trump’s anti-DEI crusade as “targeted actions intended to punish perceived political enemies, as well as to eliminate from the federal workforce women, people of color, and those … www.notus.org/courts/feder...

We're the serfs and Congress members are our masters and the oligarchy and corpocracy are their masters . . . the status quo.

Definitely a vug. But only filled with bullshit minerals with no economic value and definitely no exquisite & expensive crystals as promised.

A secret is percolating at dinner parties, salons, and cocktail gatherings among the august New York City elite. It’s whispered in the circles of financial masters of the universe, Hollywood stars, and owners of sports teams. Have you heard about Fortell? www.wired.com/story/hearin...

I have missed the musings of Mr. Simon....Not sure why I didn't know he was on Bluesky like the rest of us....makes sense :)

I wish people understood the basic units that drive the climate to change: -A forcing is what forces the climate to change. -Leading to Earth absorbing more sunlight than heat is radiated to space. -1.21 watt = 1.21 joule per second. -Averaged over Earth's 510 TRILLION square meters area. Or 👇

Arctic sea-ice extent on November 30th was about 400,000 square kilometers below the previous record low for the date, set in 2016.

Vile, unhinged, gutter racism, the kind of horrifying attacks that literally everyone must rally to oppose

The headline I feel like is that all the philanthropic donations from billionaires typically have a shitload of restrictions. Mackenzie is like “you’re doing work to stop something horrible or to help something good? Cool. Here’s a few hundred million.” and the paper is like “wow… so novel”

“The math is brutal and the juxtaposition stark: millions for OpenAI while pink slips go out to longtime lecturers. The CSU isn’t investing in education—it’s outsourcing it, paying premium prices for a chatbot many students were already using for free.“ www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

The world economy has proven surprisingly durable in the face of President Donald Trump’s trade wars, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said Tuesday, upgrading its outlook for global and U.S. economic growth this year. https://to.pbs.org/4rPySVN

Sen. Mark Kelly answers President Trump’s sedition accusation by comparing his actions with Trump’s during the same years.

The Trump administration has axed another group of judges from immigration courts. On Monday, the New York Times reported, eight judges serving on the bench at New York City’s 26 Federal Plaza—ground zero for courthouse arrests—were terminated.

A National Climate Service is the obvious answer here, but was always going to be a political hot potato. Seems further away than ever in the current administration bent on hollowing out the climate science expertise in the Federal government.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sa7... The National Emergency Briefing. It pulled no punches in its explanation of the climate emergency we're in as a global civilization. It's happening fast and globally. End fossil fuel use or say goodbye to reliably growing crops. Droughts & water wars are coming, too.

"Trump has set free a private equity executive who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims."
