sam 🏡🍊 @slj.bsky.social · 01/09/2026As a bigger question, what are the political changes we can reasonably expect from Democratic controlled Congress? Executive orders and the Supreme Court’s shadow docket are really all Trump needs. People are very hopeful for the midterms, and I am unsure as to why. 110
sam 🏡🍊 @slj.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Reposting a huge paragraph from the authoritarian leader’s proprietary social media site with the tag “I am in strong agreement with the President” no matter the context is a strong signal that this mould of Democrat does not have what it takes to resist Trump. 170

sam 🏡🍊 @slj.bsky.social · 12/08/2026There’s no higher priority than climate change mitigation and adaptation. There is no adjustment period or new baseline, just every decade warmer than the last for the foreseeable future aka centuries. Everything is within the climate system and floor of business as usual has fallen out beneath it 010
sam 🏡🍊 @slj.bsky.social · 12/08/2026This government is naive about what is coming. Famine, armed conflict, disease and natural disasters are basically the horsemen of the apocalypse, greed is idolatry, and hell is a hotter climate. Not to get too Christian with it.

sam 🏡🍊 @slj.bsky.social · 01/08/2026When people ask was *this* heatwave caused by climate change they are referring to this heatwave and its particular extreme heat, which was impossible before warming, not the concept of heatwaves. Besides being confusing, this “it’s complicated” answer is also wrong considering the question! 000
