In a perfect world, the decision to drag our country into war with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism isn’t made by a draft dodging former reality tv gameshow host “president” and his day drinking former weekend tv “news” host Secretary of Defense.

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Keep an eye on this graph over the next few days or so (zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...). An extreme #Arctic winter warming event is occurring bringing a narrow band of near freezing air temperatures close to the North Pole (associated with poleward movement of excessive heat and moisture).
Line graph time series of daily Arctic temperatures north of 80°N latitude for every year from 1958 through 2025. There is a long-term warming trend for every day of the year and a clear seasonal cycle. 2025 is currently much warmer than average.

But liberals are snowflakes. Mhmm. Also let’s not call it anti-DEI. It is decidedly *pro-segregation.* We need to stop playing defense on wanting human rights and dignity for everyone. MAKE THEM DEFEND THEIR HEINOUS BEHAVIOR.

Not to be alarmist, but this is the most radical presidential action I've ever seen. He's straight up seizing Congress' budget power. What do laws matter if the mad king's whims dictate what gets enforced and where money goes? It's not a policy memo - it's a revolution. Don't let it be a quiet one.

I’m gonna need “thoughts and prayers” after climate disasters to convert to ACTION soon. LIKE… NOW. We all have a limited collective carbon budget before all tipping points are surpassed. If we change nothing about our behavior, there will be no place left to build an insurable home.

Two men just walked by me on the river trail and the only snippet of conversation I heard was, “…but you know what’s even more important? Democracy. So you can vote back in the people who…” and then I couldn’t hear any more… Made me wonder how many people are just starting to realize this.
