"Sadly, the U.S. itself must now be considered an authoritarian petrostate. The Trump Administration has worked with congressional Republicans who are currently in power to defund climate and vaccine science while staffing various agencies with climate and vaccine deniers." @michaelemann.bsky.social

note how the messaging has shifting from "we're targeting criminals" to "we're deporting everyone"

So - of course it's absurd lies upon absurd lies but...

if that were the case, wasn't the election a year ago? It's not like the House has been burning midnight oil on legislating.
If everything that is wrong was done in the Biden admin, you could simply reverse it. Somehow, you just blame...

Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."

That is some sudden fall for the US! I'd expect a similar, if not steeper one from Trump 2.0

John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch.ft.com · 11h

NEW from me:

Political hostility, high visa fees and (in the case of the UK) stagnant incomes are making the UK and US less attractive destinations for top international talent.

That steep decline in the appeal of moving to the US after 2016 is 👀

The people of the Caribbean are being forced to bear the costs of a crisis they did not cause. And they can’t afford the clean-up thanks to the legacy of colonialism.

To say this is unjust would be an understatement. It’s grotesque.

The Israeli military killed 46 Palestinian children overnight.

That's 10 more than the total number of Israeli children killed on 7th October.

Yet there was more outrage over the fictional beheadings of Israeli babies than these 46 kids.

That's easy: because there's no outrage

It's not an anti-drug campaign. Venezuela does not produce fentanyl.

It's an anti-Venezuela campaign. Venezuela has oil, and Trump likes far right dictators.

Jamaica is responsible for less than 0.05% of global CO2 pollution.

That it's about to be destroyed by a monster hurricane is climate injustice — aka climate colonialism, aka global capitalism — in action.

Of instantaneous forcing, yes.
But the contrails don't accumulate over time, and even ozone won't last longer than a fortnight. So, at most, you'd gain on flights from the last fortnight.

Whereas CO2 warming is from all the flights that have ever happened...

Fin octobre, c’est le changement d’heure, mais c’est aussi le moment où l’extrême droite fête l’anniversaire de la victoire de Charles Martel et de la bataille de Poitiers en 732. Alors petit fil pour remettre les pendules à l’heure à ce sujet, comme désormais chaque année. 1/

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It never is, since it emits copious amounts of GHG that are rapidly destroying the ecosystems we depend upon to live.

1st amendment means you can voice your views without threat of punishment.
Not that you can do business while avoiding mandatory disclosures... Otherwise companies would claim 1st amendment rights to not publishing fair accounts!..

1. Reagan’s speech is real

2. It’s public domain

3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians

4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check

5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs
