Some news: A few hours after I filed the draft to this story, CNN laid me off.

As part of a massive restructuring/changes across the network, my role as climate writer was among the 200 that got cut last week.

It’s disappointing, but I’ll be okay. My last day is on Feb 21. A thread.🧵 1/
Trump’s executive order took aim at “environmental justice” — eliminating positions and assessing spending on projects, including those aimed at poor, rural communities.

I talked to former WH environmental justice advisers to the Biden administration on what this means. www.cnn.com/2025/01/26/c...

I've seen the question: "When were you radicalized" a lot; I think it's great one.

My dream is to look every member of congress who voted to affirm Hegseth, and ask:

"When did you sell your soul?"

It should be mandatory for all reporters in a White House press conference to state the price of eggs that day. Just so Little Donny Tiny Hands knows.

Then they can pitch their useless, softball questions.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Someone back in the day gave me this movie, Idiocracy.
I was like... This is too preposterous for me, who thinks Zoolander is one of the best three movies ever made.

And God was like, 'Preposterous, she says? Hold my beer...'

So, basically, what I'm saying is this is all my fault.

Sorry guys 😞

Ya'll put this firmly in your mind:

There's another pandemic on the way, & DJT doesn't want anyone to know how many die on his watch

You & the people you love are a statistic to be swept under the rug

Virtue & good intentions DO NOT VOTE. Only you can

LOL like Trump's hands are that large... but I DO like the deformed alien appendage on Vance's hand. That I'll buy.

Hey, ya'll! It's been a salty morning about diffraction and shadows, but I wanted to let the folks following me without a follow-back:

I vet and I vet kinda hard. I'm catching up, though! Thank you for your patience and 💙 to you all.

I didn't think I'd have to repeat myself on this one, but I'm seeing 2024 election deniers out this morning, so here you go:
Let me make this clear:

If you are pushing the lie Kamala can overturn the election, you're just like Trump.

If you're pushing it here, you're just like Truth Social.

If you're an election denier, you're just like MAGA.

Careful of the Kool-Aid you're drinking, & who's telling you to drink it.

Look. We lost. It REALLY sucks, but here's a few reasons why

1) Bad aim: Start w/indies & undies, then work in
2) Late start
3) Preaching to the choir
4) Lazy base: We think virtue votes & don't come out

So let's fucking do better. Elections aren't just in November.

The GOP stole the election and the whole world knows it.

Didn't we once overthrow a whole ass government over shit like this? Taxation without representation has always gone over real well.
