Children living safely with families are being picked up by ICE and referred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which places them in shelters or foster care. These shelters were designed for new arrivals, not settled kids—and the children are struggling badly.

ICE is now separating children from their parents and deeming them “unaccompanied.”

Seeing this just fills me with absolute despair at the climate situation. We are still at peak emissions. We haven't even begun decreasing emissions and even if we did, the warming that's baked from past emissions will last for centuries. We're cooked.

I wish I knew how to donate to a nonprofit or a political campaign without my money going toward an endless barrage of annoying spammy text messages and wasteful junk mail that I then have to deal with. There’s got to be a better use for the money.

With our kids now #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re afraid of. If more kids walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a LOT of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school as a result. HT Ian Lockwood. Spread the word.
Cartoon of a mom and dad with a kid in front of a minivan. The parents are saying “there is too much traffic for Billy to walk to school, so we drive him.” The caption at the bottom says “traffic inducing traffic.” Let kids walk and bike to school, and tell your leaders to make that trip safe and enjoyable for kids and families. #LetKidsWalk #LetKidsBike

“The phenomenon is known as induced demand. The result is an endless cycle in which congestion leads to highway expansion, which invites more trips, which brings back traffic…The pattern is so inevitable that economists have dubbed it the iron law of congestion.” Via @slate.com #InducedDemand

Successional habitats that emerge after a fire are productive and essential to the wildlife species trying to survive in burn scars. Denuding them all over again with massive aerial applications of RoundUp to benefit the timber industry is criminal, demented, and disgusting. Get some ethics, USFS.

A rational, credible audience wouldn’t have been “awkwardly silent.” A rational, credible audience would have booed, and walked out. Staying silent as Trump attacks female reporters has been one of the biggest failures of a consistently failing American media.

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we’d all be dead. It’s taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 30% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

Most of the social programs that are routinely dismissed in American politics as "unrealistic" or "too expensive" could have been paid for multiple times over by the cost of this war so far, much less the costs to come. It's never the money.

A propos of nothing, we should have a train on or under PCH all the way from Santa Monica to 2nd & PCH in Long Beach (if not all the way to the Amtrak station in San Juan Capistrano). There’s currently no efficient way to travel between our walkable, dense beach cities without driving.
