Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

These negotiations are a huge, existential deal and the fact that the public doesn’t know shit about them is a problem.
The flow of the Colorado River has shrunk about 20%, and its depleted reservoirs continue to decline. But talks aimed at addressing the shortage are at an impasse, and environmental groups say the lack of information about the closed-door negotiations is a problem. www.latimes.com/environment/...
Millions rely on dwindling Colorado River — but are kept ‘in the dark’ about fixes, critics say

A lot of people have been asking how to help public radio/TV weather this current storm. One of my concerns has been making sure the most vulnerable stations that serve small populations in rural areas get the support they need to keep going. This new site offers a roadmap. adoptastation.org
Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media
Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I love the Dodgers but I'm so annoyed that they all went to the White House to hang out with Trump after his administration decided that Jackie Robinson was too "DEI"
Some people are mad I’m calling out Trump and his goons for trying to erase Jackie Robinson’s legacy on my baseball substack now. I don’t care: open.substack.com/pub/mollykni...

1/2 If any East Coasters apart from Trump share pig-ignorant view that Calif just needs to 'release' water from north and send it to LA:
Unt-uh. Sort of like saying: "You've got lowland floods in New Orleans? No prob. Just 'release' some of that high ground in Appalachians and lift the city up"

Trump on disaster aid to California: "I want to see two things in Los Angeles. Voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. After that, I will be the greatest president that CA has ever seen."

tbh fuck biden for suggesting this and fuck trump for probably doing this. god I hate AI.
President Trump says he likes Biden's idea to open up federal lands for AI data centers. His White House is looking for ways to ensure U.S. dominance in the sector.
Trump has tossed a lot of Biden policies. But there's one AI measure he wants to keep

Soooo frustrating to see the amount of misinformation about these LA fires online. Stop trying to tell people why these fires were caused or why there was “no water” during the onset when you know nothing about the ecology/weather patterns/water infrastructure of Southern California!!

Resnick-owned companies include: POM Wonderful, Fiji Water, Wonderful Pistachios and Almonds, Wonderful Seedless Lemons, Wonderful Halos (yes, those tiny mandarins your kids love, but there are mandarins grown by less rapacious farmers). Of those, Wonderful nuts use the most water by far.
