As the reflectivity (albedo) of Earth continues to set new record lows, more of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth system, increasing the amount of energy available to heat the oceans, atmosphere, and land, and to melt ice.

How is it not treason for POTUS to invite Iran to bomb LA or San Diego? And no, it was not a joke. He’d actually love it if California were destroyed.

Wendell Berry was a giant. He understood that ecological destruction and capitalism’s worship of limitless scale were not separate problems, but were a single moral wound. He built a moral universe in which land, work, love, and community all belong to one another. As we belong to one another.

Expanding ICE’s authority to hunt down local shoplifters isn't law enforcement; it's federal overreach, racial profiling, and a massive waste of taxpayer dollars wrapped in a political stunt.

Congress Might Give ICE the Power to Go After Shoplifters
A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.

The swastika carved into a car on the Upper East Side is a despicable act of antisemitism. It is a hateful attack of intimidation on our Jewish neighbors and on the values that make our city what it is.

I have full confidence the NYPD, which is investigating this as a hate crime, will do everything to ensure those responsible are held accountable. 

To every Jewish New Yorker: your city stands with you. We will confront acts of antisemitism wherever they appear with urgency and without exception.
