Just finished @billmckibben.bsky.social’s new book, “Here Comes the Sun” and it’s rekindled some hope in a dark timeline. It’s critical reading for normies on the clean energy transition that’s happening right now. munrobooks.com/item/GFQL6zL...

No one asked Gallup to display special courage in this moment. Just to continue doing what they'd always done. And that was too much for them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Trump’s repeated attacks on our good neighbor, Canada, and his false claim of an “emergency” to justify Canadian tariffs has only meant higher prices for consumers and lost markets for American businesses. Trump’s trade war has cost families $1,700 a year.

The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters. Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

If we are going to stave off the scourges of authoritarianism globally, our politics need to center the working class.

When you have a rules-based order where you carve out exceptions to our values, eventually the exceptions become the rules.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Say what you want about Trump, but at least he's transparent with his corruption

The whole world will pay the price Trump’s EPA can’t simply erase climate change — and we’ll all pay the price @michaelemann.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

If you missed it, yesterday House Republicans passed their SAVE Act, which would require you to present a passport or birth certificate to vote. This is an attempt at voter suppression ahead of the midterms.

You're seeing what I'm seeing, right?

Carl Sagan 1/2: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.

Trump’s EPA repeals landmark climate finding in gift to ‘billionaire polluters’

Trump’s Venezuelan oil deal continues to reek of waste, fraud, and abuse. He handed $500M of Venezuelan oil to two companies with a history of bribery in South America. And these companies deposit their oil payments into a Qatari bank account, where it is dispersed to Trump and Maduro’s allies.

Trump’s repealing the endangerment finding endangers us all. He denies the obvious—we are already seeing and feeling the climate crisis. Summers are hotter and longer each year. Tropical diseases and deadly storms--floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes— are all becoming more frequent and intense.

As the US doubles down on fossil fuels and blocks wind & solar installations, its emissions are ticking up. In contrast, China's emissions appear to have peaked. In the last 2 yrs, they installed more new solar energy each year than the U.S. has in its entire history. More from @carbonbrief.org:

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Between Trump’s threats to Greenland, talk of making Canada the 51st state, and overall tariff whiplash, U.S. allies are beginning to look east for trade deals. Could it be a sign of a shifting world order?

Same. And all politics aside, what king of person lacks the common human decency to even turn their head to acknowledge the victims of childhood rape? Sickening... #AccountabilityIsComing

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
