To all those who comment about subsidies for renewable energy, what are your thoughts on the $500,000,000 we taxpayers will fork over to bail out Glencore, who paid $0 tax in Oz, but posted a record profit? At least with renewable we are buying cheap endless energy security.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Goosebumps watching this. Chicagoans fighting for this country. Mass collective action is the only thing that can keep fascism away.

We probably need to go back to ~350 ppm COโ‚‚ equivalent for temperatures to stop rising.

We are now above 573 ppm (GHG forcing of +4.1 W/mยฒ).

That's without aerosols cooling things down.

There's too much uncertainty to be sure, but going back to 350 ppm is already a Herculean task.

Headline reading โ€œAtlantic current at risk of collapse - plunging U.K. into never ending winterโ€

and itโ€™s always jarring as hell

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I donโ€™t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Itโ€™s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

BREAKING: Stephen Millerโ€”both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Hedges Report: NPC Australia caves to Israel Lobby, cancels talk on our betrayal of Palestinian journalists The National Press Club of Australia cancelled my talk on how the media, by amplifying Israeli lies, have betrayed Palestinian journalists, 278 of whom have been assassinated by Israel.

"No doubt, the corporate sponsors and wealthy donors of the press club are pleased. No doubt, the club is able to slither away from its journalistic integrity.

"But please, have the decency to remove the word press from your club."
