Wishing you better luck than we had in mid-Michigan. 3 days of hazardous AQI’s with numbers as high as the 500s at times. Could not leave the house w/out an N95. Shocked but not surprised because the planet follows laws physics & chemistry despite what the soup forks in DC want to believe.

Our very own, made in America version of Lysenkoism, only on steroids. The destruction of our science and research infrastructure is the greatest own-goal in history.

Yes - her writing is very dense. I spent three to four hours every day for three months immersed in the book. I might have read four or five pages and then take and hour considering the implications. The immediacy of our current national crisis provided an additional impetus as well.

Read Arendt’s “The Origins of Totalitarianism” this past summer - it is an extraordinary work and highly relevant to what is happening today - can’t recommend this book enough.

Court finds Trump Administration is violating its order to provide full SNAP benefits. I will discuss with Ana Cabrera at @MSNBC at 11:15 am ET. In our judicial system, losing litigants may appeal court orders with which they disagree, but they may not defy them.

You’re not the problem, it’s not a purity test, and it’s not too much to ask a candidate not have a a freakin’ nazi tattoo ffs. And those who think it’s OK, I would invite them to read Hanna Arendt’s “The Origins of Totalitarianism” and see if they feel the same way afterwards.

Excellent new episode of PBS Terra Weathered has just been released. This episode discusses hurricane rapid intensification and hurricane strength and how these relate to climate change. The effects of AMOC strength fluctuations and aerosols / sulphur emissions are also covered. Worth watching:
