I used to have time for defeatism on this subject and then after 2 weeks of lockdown the canals of venice were clear enough to see fish and the dolphins were back in the Ganga so yeah, the climate doomerism also now feels like an op
a point I make over and over re: climate change is that there’s no point at which it’s time to throw up your hands and give up, because each tenth of a degree you can prevent is worth it
2C is better than 2.1C is better than 2.2C and so on and so forth
2C is better than 2.1C is better than 2.2C and so on and so forth
New from me: An exclusive interview with David Suzuki, who talked about reaching the conclusion that humanity has failed in the fight against climate change, and why communities should start preparing for more destructive natural disasters #cdnpoli #cdnenviro

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t?
So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

let’s look back at what has happened so far
Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile
Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile
Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that
just a general note to Dems

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government."

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Wait, is this now a billionaire calling for universal healthcare/single payer?
The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

This is a Stanford freshman we're talking about here. Wild to see a private university that has historically erred on the side of protecting if not sheltering its students openly calling for this 19-year-old student journalist to face criminal charges for doing what he thought was his job.

The governor said she supports immigrants with “legal papers” but will cooperate with the Trump administration to remove immigrants who break the law.

With the EMA's unfortunate reversal on lecanemab here's a condensed (anti)anti-amyloid antibody argument: 1) No correlation between amyloid removal and clinical response 2) Functional unblinding may explain much/all of the "response" 3) No effect on tau.

my personal politics are certainly leftier than most liberals but I am above all a pragmatist who thinks the reactionaries are by far the biggest threat to all of us and I really wish everyone left of center would spend more time focusing on that and less time on throwing each other under the bus

2020: Huge wave of progressive organizing, peak of BLM movement, boom in antiracist media. Dems win presidency and both houses of Congress.
2024: Dems run from progressive activists, back police, harsh border crackdown, Gaza war. Dems suffer worst defeat in 20 years.

No, but Dems as a whole were successfully linked to seriously counterproductive political activism and thinking that Harris and Biden indulged since 2020
