MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

(H/T longtimehistory)

The first holidays and new year without parents and grandparents are hard.

It helps me to ponder over generations.

What did their world look like?
What energy did they use?
What changed during their lifetimes?
What didn't?

Tomorrow I'll reflect on this during Climate Chat. 👇

10 Companies Have Already Made $1 Million as ICE Bounty Hunters. We Found Them. And they stand to make millions more in cash bonuses for surveilling and tracking immigrants in service of ICE’s deporta

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

It's now been 15 days since the Trump Administration was supposed to furnish ALL of the Epstein Files per (H.R. 4405) Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by congress on November 18th of last year.

I'm thinking he Invaded Venezuela to distract everyone. Why would that be? Guilt? 🗽

Based on the 11-year running mean (and on Earth's Energy Imbalance), the near-term rate of warming could turn out much higher than the linear 2010-2025 extrapolation.

The next El Niño peak will be very informative for the rate of global warming, as @drjamesehansen.bsky.social points out:

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th.

Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

“Donald Trump doesn’t believe people should obey the law — he believes people should obey him. He doesn’t care about the law. He doesn’t care about the Constitution. And what he said yesterday is this: if you stand in the way of his corruption, death is your destiny.” — Sen. Chris Murphy

A tweet from “MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch” reads: “Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.” Below are screenshots of replies Trump reposted, including messages calling for hanging the lawmakers and labeling them “domestic terrorist Democrats.”

It is not treason or sedition to remind our military to follow the law and their oaths — it is patriotism. That Trump called for the deaths of Democratic officials in response underscores the need for such warnings.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Watch this and suddenly your own problems won’t feel so heavy. The good news: people stepped up and raised about $246 k+ on GoFundMe to help this woman and her baby.

There really are good people out there.

FFS. We're going to be at 2.6 C by 2050 ... if we're lucky. Mainstream media are failing us at every level in every crisis humanity is facing.

These Democrats voted to strip millions of Americans off their healthcare.

Oh look, about 40% of Australian women without kids say they are hesitant to have children because of climate change, according to a new survey.

We all need to channel this Chicago man’s utter contempt

If Gates actually said this, he's an idiot, given how grossly underesourced and underfunded both the required mitigation and adaptation efforts are. Minimum 10x current resources simply to mitigate, much much more required to adapt.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.
