You look great😊

America was built on the forced importing of kidnapped slave labour & genocide of indigenous peoples.
Trump is now kidnapping & removing those same people.
The surviving indigenous peoples are ignored.
Legality is determined by profit not ethics.
America will face a future with serfdom at its core.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

Three weeks from today is April 19th.
We will celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the start of The American Revolutionary War.
The time has come to start a new Revolution.

In this complex world, science is safety. Dismantle science - eliminate vaccines and environmental protections, ignore the overheating of the Earth - and we stand to lose everything

I live in Orange County CA. I got rid of the LA and NY Times as well as The Post. I like The Guardian. I read my local paper, The Orange County Register (not maga yet).

Completely agree.

WE THE PEOPLE
First three words of our Constitution
Rise up! Make it work.

Hang in there Mike. Lots of work to do.

so who's going to pay for the costliest natural* disaster in US history? Hurricane Katrina was an estimated $195 billion, but if you know the slightest thing about L.A. vs La. real estate, you can surmise that these wildfires will exceed Katrina in cold hard cash. (short thread)
*natural = um, no.

Energy of '25 billion atomic bombs' trapped on Earth in just 50 years, all because of global warming A new study has revealed that 380 zettajoules of energy was trapped by global warming between 1971 and 2020.

380 zettajoules of energy was trapped.
One Hiroshima = 62.76 terrajoules.

zetta = 10²¹
terra = 10¹²

(380 zettajoules)/(62.76 terrajoules) = 6.05 billion.

Where they got 25 billion is beyond me. But it is VERY wrong.

The future is already here. Now. It will only get worse.

Carbon removal, what a scam.

Instead of milk and cookies for Santa, leave out ice-cold lemonade and a fan.

I have been studying climate issues for 40 years (thanks Stephen Schneider). I never expected to live on a planet where profit is more important than all other life. We are headed towards an unsustainable path.
