In the hands of a corrupt judge whose debts vanished before being nominated to SCOTUS, and FBI inquiries about his misbehavior (to say the least) towards girls in his youth, seriously limited by POTUS

Holy wow, +3.5 ppm CO₂ last year, up from +2.4 ppm average the past decade, and +0.6 ppm in the 1960s.

It gets scarier the closer you look at it. All this is a stress test for the planet, and it's buckling.

Two big reasons for the massive increase: wildfires, and the ocean sinks are shutting down.

Globally averaged CO2 concentration (a) and its growth rate (b) from 1984 to 2024. Increases in successive annual means are shown as the shaded columns in (b). The red line in (a) is the monthly mean with the seasonal variation removed; the blue dots and blue line in (a) depict the monthly averages. Observations from 179 stations were used for this analysis.

Have yall heard about Conrad Cable. Mike Johnson's opponent?

Conrad 4 Congress @conrad4congress.bsky.social · Aug 31

I’m Conrad Cable, a first-generation farmer from Farmerville, and I’m running for Congress to take on Speaker Mike Johnson in 2026. This campaign isn’t fueled by corporate dollars — it’s powered by everyday people who are tired of being left behind.

Next step: if states have to ensure the service on their own, they should cut their respective contribution to Fed taxes by the same amount. Does it make sense?

Are you participating in a nokings.org rally on Saturday, 10/18? Here are some helpful tips to get your messages across in safe, peaceful, and joyous ways.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades;
compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

Question: why do the military follow illegal orders from Hegseth / POTUS? Isn’t their oath to the constitution? Aren’t they duty bound not to follow illegal orders? Hope they end up in a martial court for sentencing when the army is not under command of a rogue administration

The infrastructure should remain though. When MAGA is kicked out of government, and their leaders and the ICE fascists sentenced for their crimes, there will be a need for carceral capacity

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

Think about that. You’re supposed to be in the fist amendment country, and now Americans have to take the same precautions as in Stasi Germany…. Do like Germans: get rid of the terrorists governing the country

My expectation is Israel will push the boundaries on the ceasefire to see how many Palestinians they can kill in any given day without US censure, knowing that every death will push Hamas to strike back which Trump and Netanyahu would see as the official breach and thus commit to total annihilation.

Every single people marching on October 18 should have a sign (a blue cap?) stating: I am Antifa….. with millions of Americans firmly stating that would destroy their strategy of antagonizing the silent majority describing them as terrorists
