My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 79 co-sponsors. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

unbelievable (actually, totally believable)

Well, that was necessary

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Seriously blow this up. Scream it from the mountain tops. This is not policy, this is corruption.

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

This bill's even more extreme than the gun industry protections... fwiw message your Rep. and Senator- Say NO to being abused by Big Oil: secure.ucs.org/a/2025-congr...

Also I hate how I like come to Threads to say something like, Honestly, if Klay "dumbass boat captain" Thompson can cheat on Megan Thee Stallion then yeah, they can actually all be lonelier. But then I'm immediately derailed by 17 ways that the world is ending, but 13 of them are totally made up.

It will never not be enraging that when interest rates were close to zero the US government did not invest in infrastructure and green energy bc the GOP was obsessed with austerity.

You know who else enjoys this protection? The gun industry. There is no possible rationale for a bill like this other than money and it should be treated like the corrupt abomination that it is. heated.world/p/republican...

Yeesh. Among other takeaways: ... the NYT article notes, “not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.”

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

"The Santa Marta conference comes amid unprecedented geopolitical tensions as illegal wars initiated by Israel, the US and Russia have led to surging emissions and energy and food costs, and pushed international justice and multilateralism to the brink of collapse" @ninalakhani.bsky.social

We. Are. Tired. Of. Elite. Impunity.

can’t say what i want to happen to these people for legal reasons

I keep screaming from the rooftops that print news is the future and we better start figuring out what that looks like, and literally no one in the news industry believes me.

This is the least he should do. Resigning from the House is also necessary.

It is still blowing my mind honestly that the vice president of the United States of America went to Hungary to campaign for an authoritarian dictator who is despised by most of his country. But hellllllllll yeah. Ignore the vibes at your peril. www.bbc.com/news/live/c2...

There are so many bad things about this administration but I keep saying that this guy is singularly murderous. This technology could cure cancer and that is not an exaggeration. This is CHOOSING disease and then forcing it upon Americans. I will never forgive those who confirmed him. Ever.

Let's go.

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans: In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

By the way, I just want to remind you that until we are shown otherwise, this is effectively the Republican agenda.

This is a must read. In many cases, there's just no good reason for this infrastructure when electrification, demand-response, and actually even geothermal (as the article notes) can accomplish the same goals in a lot of places.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

Paper of record shifts Overton window. Again.

The Times could have written a story that said, "These Woman-Hating Lunatics Have the Ear of Powerful People. You Should Know What They Believe So You Can Resist Them." That's...not what this story does.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

Clean Energy is Cheap Energy.

++IMPORTANT++ The man of the very centre of platforming and spreading climate denial in the UK (and far beyond) has made a very rare appearance setting out of stance on climate change. And it is WILD just how error-strewn his short letter in the Guardian is - as factchecked by Simon...

Trans rights are human rights. It's that simple and it always has been.

No matter how much it's talked about, it's still not talked about enough that the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether the words in the 14th amendment mean what the words in the 14th amendment mean.

Bragging about a state purge of those who raise even moderate criticism of the regime. Truly stuff for the history books.

Guys 😭 can we not!!??

Talked about this on the podcast this week with Josh Garrett of Redwood Climate Communications. It's one thing to try to find climate messaging that works, especially now. It's another thing to fight nearly unlimited funding for climate misinformation. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Sources say activist & Goldman Prize winner Diane Wilson has been arrested for attempting to deliver demands to a Dow Chemicals facility in Seadrift, TX She's been on a 25 day hunger strike outside the facility, protesting its move to remove rules on how much plastic it can discharge into waterways

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

This is true. Oil is subsidized. Oil pipelines get use of public lands free or very low priced. Oil terminals get build with public funds. Shipping channels for supertankers get dredged with taxpayer money. Cleanups are on the public dime. The US taxpayer pays for "cheap gas".

This is why I never give up on the enduring power of the equal end opposite reaction.

You know, the American obsession with gas prices is and always has been weird. And for the sake of our planet, gas should cost a WHOLE lot more. But also, it's not lost on me that MAGA loves a giant pickup truck so reap, sow, etc. Have fun with that!

Oh.

My resignation letter

Thanks to @drkatemarvel.bsky.social for speaking with me this morning about why she decided to leave NASA, the work she was doing, her concerns about federal science and also what gives her hope. 🧪

Forest Service just published a new definition of "ski area" because it's getting harder for ski resorts due to "significant fluctuations in seasonal snow conditions" and "inconsistent" snow i.e. problems due to #climatechange, but they can't actually say that, anymore...

Oh, hello floodgates, I see you are now open.

* 2015-2025 was the hottest 11 years on record * Earth’s energy imbalance is the highest in 65-year record * The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades Probably fine.
