The scenarios aren't predictions, so they're not "right" or "wrong". They are possible futures depending on our actions. The good news is that emissions are now tracking below older "business-as-usual" pathways because of climate policy in spite of Trump: thebulletin.org/premium/2025...

"When I started writing about the climate crisis in the 1980s I was in my twenties, and I didn’t fully comprehend that there could be a force on this planet so steeped in greed & power that it would sacrifice the earth & its inhabitants for its own narrow interests. But there is, and it’s Big Oil."

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Horrible. Arson attack today at Mississippi’s largest synagogue, on Shabbat, destroyed multiple Torahs and left parts of the building in ruins

A new post by a Republican state Senator in Indiana, saying she will "not cave" on redistricting as she shares that she was just the target of a pipe bomb threat to due "DC political pundits."

Unfortunately, my house was the target of a pipe bomb threat on Saturday evening. This is a result of the D.C. political pundits for redistricting.  Thanks to the Oldenburg Town Marshall, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the ISP, all is okay!

This is what @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social has been fighting for over the last several months—more moderate Dems and the moderating effect they’d have on the party. I hope he’s happy with this taste of success! @joshtpm.bsky.social

Trump's vengeful tone shows he genuinely doesn't support First Amendment rights. He's an instinctive tyrant waging war against America's Constitution & founding principles. As Benjamin Franklin warned, "Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech."

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

It's the time piece I want to focus on. The key thing about the benefits of a clean energy system is that, once we've transitioned, *we will enjoy those benefits for the rest of our time on earth*. Every subsequent generation of humans will enjoy the benefits. They will accumulate & accumulate.

Awful to hear of these deaths. It’s horrendous to me that one needs to worry not only about actual antisemitism but how governments could use this as a license for wrongdoing.

U.S. climate politics have revolved around China since the mid-90s—the Senate didn’t ratify the Kyoto Protocol, for example, because the GOP and many Dems were freaked out (at least they pretended to be) that China wasn’t going to be held accountable for its emissions growth. 1/4
