2025 had the second warmest first quarter (Jan-Mar) on record, just a hair behind last year (2024). This is remarkable since 2024 was boosted by a strong El Nino event, while 2025 started off in weak La Nina conditions: www.carbonbrief.org/...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.
Mahmoud Khalil’s Son Arrives After ICE Refuses to Let Him Attend Birth
Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I’m Still Here just won the Oscar for Best International Film.
A true story of political repression set in 1970s Brazil, it has chilling resonance in 2025 USA.
Still in theaters. This film is spectacular. Don’t miss it.

To everyone at NOAA fired today:

You are an incredible human being. You signed up to serve the public. I deeply appreciate what you've given to your team, to NOAA, to our country as a whole.

Your firing is unconscionable. It runs counter to the values we stand for. And we will stand up for you.

When are folks going to realize that mocking the rise of Nazism is not an effective strategy? How serious does it have to get before you'll take it seriously?

When people ask how is Israel inciting antisemitism around the world, this is how.

The glorious Star of David, a symbol of one of the great Abrahamic faiths, being used by a rogue state as cover for its torture and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, detainees, and hostages.
Circulated footage shows dozens of Palestinian detainees dressed in shirts bearing the Star of David and the slogan “We will never forget, we will never forgive” before being released from Ofer Prison as part of the sixth batch of the prisoner exchange.

Honey you might want to sit this one out. Your administration banned a journalist for referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico. Sit down. 😤

So, conservatives pressured Obama into becoming the 1st POTUS to release visitor logs. Bush didn’t do it before him. Trump didn’t do it after him. But Biden did.

Trump is back again & not releasing them again. A reminder of how asymmetric our politics are
Trump White House will not release visitor logs - Washington Examiner
For months, transparency advocates have pressed Trump to disclose who he and his staff will be meeting with on a routine basis, which former President Joe Biden did monthly.
