My goal working in #climate is that on Jan 1st, 2050, my dear friend who - despite many other fine qualities - doesn't believe in #climatechange will turn to me and say, "I told you so. Nothing much happened."
I shall perfect my delivery of, "Yes, dear" as the date approaches.

Of all things to criticize AOC about, boilerplate on Taiwan gets people upset?
Sorry tankie leftists, she didn’t say everything bad in the world is America’s fault, and indicated that deterring Chinese imperialism could be good.
Sorry, fake China hawks, she was measured instead of fire-breathing.

Very optimistic question really. If we're worrying about concrete impacts of Vance vs AOC for POTUS it means:
a) Trump is gone
b) We're having an election
c) We don't know in advance who is going to win.
Which means we already won the hardest fight.
(Also, excellent profile pic.)

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

The 2025 labor market was dramatically weaker than originally reported... and for 12 straight months, job growth was never statistically different from zero.

When my MIL had Alzheimer's she invented "That Woman", a shady figure who stole her things. Something missing? That Woman took it.
Alas, we never caught That Woman. And as a result, she has now escalated to moonlighting as Prime Minister of Switzerland.

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."
