The administration’s crackdown on the Palestine movement goes hand in hand with the endless flow of US weapons and funding to the Israeli government.

The horrific anti-Palestinian violence we saw in Brooklyn this weekend — a pro-Israeli government mob beating, chasing, and harassing anti-genocide activists, all while the NYPD was largely absent — is the inevitable result of this type of policy which criminalizes support of Palestinian freedom.

St. Luke’s, Idaho’s largest health system, is the one major institution standing in the way of a ban on emergency abortion care in Idaho — a move that would make the state’s policy one of the most extreme in the country. (Published March)

Hudson: "Trump’s aim is to cut income taxes on the wealthy by replacing them with tariffs as the main source of govt revenue. ..replacing progressive income taxation falling on his own Donor Class - the One Percent that paid no income tax prior to its enactment in 1913” Democracy Collaborative.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "The loss of Arctic sea ice is not just a regional problem; it’s a global catastrophe in the making. We’re looking at a situation where the feedback loops could accelerate warming to a point where large parts of the planet become uninhabitable for humans."

"April 2025 ENSO update: La Nina has ended." www.climate.gov/news-feature...

And here is the 36-month running average for Arctic sea-ice volume, January, 1982 to March, 2025. The all-time minimum in this graphic happened in October, 2019.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "We are racing toward a precipice, blind to the abyss below, where the collapse of ecosystems and the exhaustion of resources will render our cities tombs and our fields barren, a self-inflicted apocalypse unfolding in real time." www.amazon.com/World-Withou...

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 10, 2025 ~ Not 'if' but 'when' "If humanity fails to reverse the impacts of climate change, Earth could face a mass extinction event comparable to that of the Permian Period ... when approximately 90 percent of species perished under extreme conditions."

Here you go. Follow them all: go.bsky.app/9ozevcf

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 5, 2025 ~ The less you know ... "The dangerous weather comes as the Associated Press revealed that due to Trump administration job cuts, nearly half of National Weather Service forecast offices have 20% vacancy rates, according to data obtained by the agency."

Your 'doom quote' for today: “Humanity’s epitaph was written in the rust of abandoned towers and the bones of those who thought they could outrun the inevitable, a testament to our arrogance etched into a planet that no longer cared to remember us.” www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...

They're literally locking up British tourists in ICE prisons for months on end. This is F'king nuts.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Fortunately, FEMA is on standbye to help the impacted States recover.

As long as this civilisation is motivated by profit, we are on a path of no return from an Earth so devastated, so unrecognisable, violent and unsurvivable that the average person struggles to even imagine

We have arrived at this deplorable point because the US continues to arm Israel. Tell Congress: block the bombs. Call your representatives through our sibling organization JVP Action jvpaction.org/blockthebombs

FYI: Our fundraising efforts over the past month have failed. We appreciate the few dozen folks who stepped up & those who maintain monthly pledges. We ask that you please stick with us while we try to grind thru 2025. We've halted some work but plan to resume in the near future. Thank you.

Today’s definition of business success is to utilize (deplete) all raw materials as fast as possible.  Once this realisation dawns, it becomes abundantly clear why Earth, and us, are already finished

Those claiming that the climate crisis is a problem of the rich 1% are forgetting that without the 99% the rich wouldn’t emit all this CO2. They would have no employees, no consumers to sell to, and they wouldn’t be rich. The climate crisis is a problem of the 100% tsakraklides.com/2024/11/27/w...

Yesterday's global sea-surface temperature of 21.05°C was about 4.62 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean (first 30 years of data), or about 1-in-520,000 just by chance. I expect temperatures to reach their seasonal peak in roughly 2 weeks.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "This is no abstract crisis—it’s the porch you can’t sit on because the heat chokes the air, the well that’s dry for the first time in a century. We’re not waiting for the end; we’re living it ..." www.barnesandnoble.com/w/before-its...

Your 'doom quote' for today: "We live in a strange time where it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. The catastrophe is not coming—it is already here, embedded in the normal functioning of our economic system..." www.versobooks.com/products/213...

Your 'doom quote' for today: "The evidence before us suggests that we are now on a path to a global environmental catastrophe that will involve the collapse of our current industrial consumer societies. This is not a distant possibility but something unfolding now..." www.wiley.com/en-us/Deep+A...

To see evidence for the acceleration of global sea surface temperatures, notice that the jump in average temperature between decades gets larger as the decades pass. The gap increases over time. This has been your f&%kery 101 lesson for today.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The daily CO2 number from Mauna Loa exceeded 430 ppm yesterday. This is the first reading above 430 ever recorded. CO2 levels have not been this high since the Pliocene epoch, 3 to 5 million years ago.

Your 'doom quote' for today: “Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies.” www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...

Your 'doom quote' for today: "It is, I promise, worse than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars, and economic devastation."

Your 'moment of doom' for Mar. 1, 2025 ~ The day before tomorrow. "Overall, faster rates of warming will inevitably put more strain on natural resources and agricultural production. This could increase the probability of international warfare over water, food and other essential natural resources."

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! Average Arctic sea-ice extent for the month of February, 2025, just set a new record low for the month with an average extent of 13,086,000 km². This month's record beat the previous record low set in February, 2018, by over 293,000 km².

The global mean surface temperature for Feb. 25, 2025 was more than 1.7°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial average. The day was hotter globally than every Feb. 25th on record since 1940 with the exception of Feb. 25, 2016. And this is happening in a La Nina year.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "They said it started with the air—too much poison, too many machines, and a planet that couldn’t breathe anymore. By the time we noticed, it was too late; the cities were tombs, the rivers were sludge, and the survivors were just ghosts waiting to die."

For those who are paying attention, here is an update to the global ICE situation, showing the total f&%kery that is unfolding. Fortunately, this ICE doesn't have battering rams and isn't breaking down doors.

In case you were wondering, the 2-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly is currently at 1.57°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline.
