Just had whiplash reading the NYT. First, a powerful Opinion Video featuring three professors leaving the country because of the fascist onslaught. And then, a little straight-up fascist onslaught in a Guest Essay by RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz about how welfare recipients must be forced to work.

How would $880 billion in Medicaid cuts affect people with disabilities?
That translates to a loss in home and community-based services (HCBS) for 4.5 million people. HCBS programs help people live independently, rather than be institutionalized.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
