I think it’s working (not fast enough though), but please take breaks to rest and recharge yourself while others continue, we help each other and are in this together ❤️

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures.

Shrub couldn’t be bothered?

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

"Raul" is pruning grape vines in Madera. "The work's physically exhausting. I earn 31 cents per plant and must keep a steady pace throughout the day to make enough. The repetitive cutting and bending causes my arms & hands to cramp as I do this work for hours on end." #WeFeedYou

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Noem is gone, sort of, but there are lessons to be learned from her tenure, how she was fired, and why it didn’t happen earlier, why the Senate confirmed her in the first place, that we can”t afford to ignore joycevance.substack.com/p/fired-but-...

Never underestimate sustainable farming! 🌱🌍 It slashes human-caused GHG emissions while rebuilding healthy soils and strengthening communities. Less chemicals, more biodiversity = real climate action. Who's ready to farm smarter? #SustainableFarming #ClimateChange

Well he already has his (FIFA) peace prize so he doesn’t care

"Luis" is starting early am vine pruning surrounded by heavy fog in Madera County. "We're paid 31 cents per plant and must move quickly to make a full day’s pay. Cold temperatures and long hours make the work physically tiring. But we continue pruning row after row." #WeFeedYou

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

"Ana" works in the Kerman, CA area pruning peach trees. She's working a few hours a day earning minimum wage. "This is a hard time of year as there aren't a lot of jobs. I do whatever temporary work I can. The money I earn helps provide for my family." #WeFeedYou

"Elena" is harvesting oranges. "We are working hourly and paid minimum wage, but the pressure is like we're working piece rate. The supervisors are always rushing us, saying we need to work faster." #WeFeedYou

Rubio using such pressured speech

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

My Rep is a Democrat but he’s in favor of this action because he always is when it benefits Israel, he’s become a huge disappointment

A field at sunset

"Joel" sent this pic from Fresno County. "There are days that I don't stop until sunset. The season is almost over and I do my best to prune as much as possible to make a little extra money. My wrists are sore from 7-8 hrs of this work. I earn 34 cents per vine." #WrFeedYou

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Workers are at the side of a field waiting to start picking oranges. The supervisor told them to be there at 10am, but they didn't start work till 11am as there was a wet fog and the packing plant wanted the oranges to be dry. They weren't paid for the hour of waiting. #WeFeedYou

As a big fan of Roman mosaics, this rug is awesome as it replicates that look. The awkward dolphins, the earthen background, and the rolling waves really evoke history beyond the ship being memorialized. It is eternal. #AntiquesRoadshow

The kid fixed a watch on his own? Dang!
