According to a Navy spokesperson I spoke with, the 11th hour decision to keep data flowing from the three weather satellites was due to critical feedback it received. A testament that our voices and concerns do very much matter. My full afternoon update ⬇️

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.
This is Washington at its worst.
We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
The vibe really is “if we don’t put on the best damn musical this town has ever seen, they’ll close down the old rec center for good!”
But the “rec center” is the country 😨😨😨
This is such a poignant classic. It's why I keep reaching for climate solutions in the face of relentless, thoughtless capitalism. 😕🌎💚

12.06.2025 18:46 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.

I agree with this: "Basic research is a public good," from @pkrugman.bsky.social newsletter this morning. MAGA's war on science is going to starve it and kill it. Why?? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/magas-war-...

Hand-painted sign with earth on a black background, with a small reddish planet off to the side. Text pointing at Earth reads, Earth Rules.” Arrow pointing at reddish planet with text says, “Mars Drools.”

Screenshot of a portion of the transportation panel about the average fuel economy of the vehicles you use most often? With the slider dragged to the furthest right for the most efficient or electric. A pop-up information window reads, "Depending on the electricity source, (% renewables versus % non-renewable), the fuel economy of a typical electric vehicle may range from 2 to 6 litres/100 km or 40 to 150 miles/gallon.
It sort of does on the transportation section about the vehicle you use most often. On the slider for efficiency, you can slide all the way to the right for Efficient or Electric. General, but there. The little info circle reveals their consideration of the % of clean energy used to charge.

I found the quiz engaging and a way to consider the elements of my ecological footprint. It's disappointing when things don't work like you think they should, but it made me think. Sorry it didn't work for you.

People form a large circle and the words IMPEACH + REMOVE. There is also an upside down star and stripes, a historical sign of distress. The photos is taken directly above looking down on the people and words.

I agree with climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe! Every day should be Earth Day! 🌎💚 I took this quiz from her newsletter. If everyone lived like me, we'd need 2.2 Earths. 😳 Better than 5.5 Earths of average Americans, but I could do better. You? footprintcalculator.org/home/en
