My explanation of how climate change is amplifying these wildfires ended up entirely on the @npr.org cutting room floor. Instead they included an extremely misleading of the supposed role of fire suppression and human alteration (expertly debunked here: www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo... )

I am reminded of these words that were read to Germans in the summer of 1945 when they were made to take a tour of a nearby camp. This is us now. We own everything the dark Pedoführer does, and it doesn't matter how we voted, any more than it did in 1945.

Trump is in serious trouble. His war is deeply unpopular. He's now in the toilet on the economy, immigration, and national security. His public standing is getting close to being broken in an irreparable way, akin to Bush after Iraq and Katrina: newrepublic.com/article/2074...

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall
Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

As @whitehouse.senate.gov explains, the Supreme Court got the Citizens United decision wrong—especially when it came to undisclosed donations. The nearly $2 billion of dark money spent during the 2024 cycle is exactly why Congress needs to pass the DISCLOSE Act.

Alan Kohler talking about the urgent need to tackle inequality. The major parties talk about it a lot but don't seem to want to do what it'll take: 💸 changes to CGT discount on investment properties 💸 start taxing wealth more than work 💸 get a fair return for our natural resources

Two big tax holes are perpetuating Australia's wealth inequality
Intergenerational inequality will only be dealt with by taxing the people that have the money, not by cutting the taxes of those who don't have it.

The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent. Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees. Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
