our civilization is based on 10,000 years of agricultural predictability

if you understand what is happening now you’re scared shitless

"We would hope that the large institutions would stand up against this. You'd hope that big law firms would be rushing to defend. You'd hope that media companies would be rushing to provide accurate coverage of what's happening. You'd hope that the universities would be at the forefront of leading movements of young people to fight back and stand up against this. But none of that's happening – because the largest institutions in our country are the most guilty of doing the least when they are available to do the most."

Jeanine "Winebox" Pirro's agitprop rage: Teen perp who broke a nose got jail "with yoga and arts and crafts."

Trump's pedophile pal rapist trafficker Ghislaine's Texas country-club prison: "The camp offers recreational options, including an athletic field, library, and arts and crafts programs."

EVERYBODY SHUT UP POEMA NOVO DA JORIE GRAHAM JUST DROPPED

cars - whatever their propulsion- and thier infrastructure are not compatible with the climate we’ve created

if we are to have any shot at a livable future we must phase out car culture

stop laughing

Scientists issue warning after observing Arctic phenomenon not seen in decades: 'A fundamental shift' Locals are taking action.

February meltwater in the Arctic isn’t a fluke — it’s a warning that the planet’s seasons are unraveling.
Reflective paint, EVs, and swapping burgers for salads will save us at the same time hell freezes over.

It’s so nice to hear TX Dems finally recognized. They’ve been on the front lines of this war for many years—begging for help that never comes from blue states and even blue presidents and a blue Congress.

You’re starting to learn how much it takes out of you. In TX, it’s been relentless since 1994.

So Ken Paxton has now got a judge to enjoin Beto from fundraising for the quorum breaking TX Dems ! Ken Paxton should have been disbarred years ago. He has become emboldened. He literally is now suppressing political speech. Texas has become a totalitarian state

My dreadful, nauseating sense that we've been regressing since fucking Nazi Drumpf slithered down the gold escalator is confirmed. I teach undergrads. For the past ~decade, males have taken to saying gender equality is either impossible or undesirable—FROM THEIR POV.

New research: 3 degrees by 2050 What It Means for Us

Carbon emissions >3ºC by 2050.
Collapse of staple crops in temperate & tropical zones will raise food prices, increase malnutrition, & famine.
3°C will kill billions via hunger, heat stress, disease, & conflict.
These impacts will intensify from the 2030s onward.

The Neo-Nazi regime is using an image of DC from 1943, when the United States Government was bitterly fighting the Nazis.

Irony is dead.

‘A literal gut punch’: Missouri workers devastated by Republican repeal of paid sick leave Voters approved sick leave mandate by 58% but lawmakers are caving to lobbying by the state’s chamber of commerce

Last year, a majority of voters in Missouri passed a ballot initiative enacting paid sick leave.

This year, Missouri's Republican governor signed legislation repealing it.

Do Republicans ever listen to the will of their voters?

Phang: Let people understand—especially Republicans who are in same-sex marriages—that if they think the Supreme Court is going to give them a carve-out because of their political affiliation, they are dead-ass wrong.

People reject nature and we’re genetically wired to need it. This study also looked at music & film too. It’s been an ongoing slide into apathy, awed by urbanization & tech, ignoring how no engineer has ever come close to replicate what nature already does.

Groundwater is drying out, heating up, and causing sea level rise Overuse of groundwater has created zones of “mega-drying” around the world — and caused more sea level rise than Greenland’s ice sheets.

We’re draining Earth’s fresh water like there’s no tomorrow—emptying aquifers, poisoning what’s left, sinking the land, and raising the seas.
This is what happens when infinite growth collides with a finite planet.

Background

centrists and corporate dems used to gaslight leftists en masse. and it used to work. it won’t work anymore

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”?

You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

The NYT attempt to reduce this massive takeover of cities and law enforcement to some absurd notion of "curb appeal" is a disgusting trivialization of fascism.

We're far into dictatorship.

Trump’s Use of Troops for Policing Hasn’t Been Seen Since America Was Ruled by a King “The ability to use the military anywhere, anytime, for any purpose — it’s absolutely unprecedented.”

“The last person to assert that sort of boundless authority to deploy the military domestically and use it for law enforcement in this country was King George,” said @josephanunn.bsky.social of @brennancenter.org

first they came for brown people but I didn’t care cause I wasnt brown

(who is going to be next in the round up?)

We have now reached THIS moment in American history.

As Bartleby the Scrivener would say, "I prefer not."

Is this the presidential fitness test?

'This Isn't Normal!' Secret Pentagon Plan for Troops to Put Down Local 'Unrest' Nationwide
Leaked plan: Trump is creating strike forces of pre-deployed soldiers, East & West divisions, to attack dissenting protesters and accelerate his police state dictatorship.

Pushing boundaries of power and law, eradication of vulnerable people, militarized cities are not distractions. Thousands of people have been taken away. We have camps in America. Normalizing it is the agenda. Every part distracts from the others. It weakens all our rights and harms us all.
