We usually assess the climate crisis by a single metric: greenhouse gas emissions. But that’s just one metric, and it’s not enough. Assuming that humans control a “global thermostat,” says @noahjgordon.bsky.social, is dangerous.

Humans Think They Can Control the Climate Thermostat. That’s a Problem for Climate Policy.
The cessation and mass removal of emissions would not simply turn back the clock.

No data, no hunger.
Cuts to SNAP and a refusal to fund it during the shutdown, plus the increased cost of food because of his tariffs, means Americans will starve.
We’ll never truly know how bad it gets, because Trump cancelled the report on hunger because he knows it will make him look bad.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! 🔥 #Epstein
🧵Guarantee it's the Epstein money trail that's spooking Trump more than the child rape.
As soon as Trump took office, he immediately blocked the 4-year congressional investigation into Epstein's assets.
He also immediately revoked access to all sensitive docs.

I don't think folks have any conception of how radicalized a lot of moms are becoming as they go through shit like "will my babysitter get kidnapped" and "will my child be able to get the measles vaccine"
every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

Look around.
Every corner of this country is awake.
People flooding the streets not out of hate, but out of love—for each other, for freedom, for the idea that we still matter.
They want us to be afraid.
To stay home.
To be quiet.
We refuse.
This is what democracy looks like.
