capitalism + fossil fuel pollution + racism: hand in hand in hand
The CEOs of both Ford and Stellantis, who are there to celebrate the rollback of vehicle emissions standards (which will drive climate change), are standing right behind Trump as he makes these racist comments.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

This is a great reframing. And also consider this same question within the framework of orbital debris. How many do we need knowing that once they are defunct there is a time delay before they are removed from the system.
There continues to be a lot of conversation on how astronomers and researchers must “deal” with the existing and incoming pollution caused by satellite constellations.
But I want to see this reframed into asking:
“Why do these companies need this many satellites in orbit?”

By 2040, ~40% of the images from Hubble Space Telescope, and more than 96% from new and future space telescopes like SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will be contaminated by internet satellite constellations.

Barn Owls are one of the species that suffer the most rodenticide poisoning. We’re killing the best weapon we have against rodents w/ our inability to use proper pest control management. Help us change that by donating to our campaign #birds #birdsofprey #ratpoisoniswildlifepoison

I worked on WDFW's climate risk assessment so this is especially heartwarming. Every vulnerability assessment and adaptation plan should have accompanying works of art and poetry to celebrate implementation.

Editors! I have hours of tape interviewing Jean Beasley. Her story has never reached a national audience of adults (but I did profile her in my kids book.) She started the sea turtle hospital in her retirement. The first turtle she saved was in 1995. She did this work until her death.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

I guess I’m just saying that the viability of a clean energy transition has two elements: that it’s technically possible (“we have the solutions”) AND that we can have the courage and determination to fight to implement those solutions and win.

Some systems change is easier than others. Ending nighttime light pollution is one of the simpler problems our planet faces.
Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
