In which we discover whether it’s a good idea to hollow out DOJ, staff it with D-tier hacks, and then challenge a couple of the biggest white-shoe law firms in the country to a pissing contest.
Perkins Coie, which helped defeat Trump's attempts to subvert the 2020 election, fights Trump's order targeting the firm as a violation of the 1st, 5th and 6th Amendments and the separation of powers.

This nation is culturally unprepared for the planetary crisis now unfolding around it.
We're currently not actually capable of having smart, honest national discussions about the causes of, consequences from, and possible responses to that crisis.
That will not end well.

Speed is everything, and the speed of action we need is inherently disruptive to incumbent energy interests.

If we look at the beginning of the Keeling Curve back in the late-1950's it took almost 9 years of GHG emissions for the seasonal maximum CO2 value to become the new seasonal minimum CO2 value. Now is takes about 3 years for that to happen. 🧪 #StopBurningFossilFuels
