Bluesky peeps for democracy, we may not recognize our political system/government when this is over. Out of the ashes, what do we rebuild? What does our next political system/parties or fed government look like? Add your ideas. The sky is the limit. Dream big! #America2.0

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Trump’s blatant violation of international law and order in Venezuela transformed his rhetoric about controlling the world, which until Saturday was dismissed as a joke, into a real and immediate danger.

Do you ever think about how in sci fi, space forces often have navy ranks and traditions, but in real life it’s always army because they come from air forces? What do you think happened in the history of all these fictional space forces that made them turn into space navies?
u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.

If you want to visualize what coastal areas (or coastally-connected areas, like the interior of SF Bay and the Bay Delta) may be inundated by various water heights (including this weekend's KT + storm + SLR event), you can use this NOAA visualization tool:
Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts
Sea Level Rise Viewer: Visualize community-level impacts from coastal flooding or sea level rise (up to 10 feet above average high tides) at U.S. coastal locations.

Looks like this data was quietly updated in the fall for the latest numbers through 2024 - Annual Greenhouse Gas Index (AGGI) produced by NOAA...

It is now up to a 54% increase in the influence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since 1990 (AGGI = 1.54; heat trapping)

Another casualty of senseless DOGE cuts to NOAA. NOAA Fisheries work goes into restoring habitats and sustainable fishing practices on American shores.
