Most major carbon capture and storage projects haven't met targets The majority of 13 flagship CCS schemes worldwide, representing 55 per cent of captured carbon dioxide, have either failed entirely or captured much less CO2 than expected

Carbon capture actually makes me angrier than almost anything in climate policy. It’s been 50 years of wildly expensive pilot projects—and a major project still hasn’t delivered on promised emissions reductions. Not once.

But sure, it’s a “common sense” solution. 🙃

I doubt that there is a single family in America that hasn’t benefitted directly from the NIH.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new “camp” deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as “concentrating” certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.

Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

I say this with 100% earnestness: The destruction of American science and provoking Canada and other allies only make sense if someone is working for Russia.

It's true and we should say it.

Describe good virtues as American. Call bad things Un-American. Not reinforcing it is how we let them get redefined.

Man… Star Wars Andor just delivered one of the hardest to watch and yet best episodes of TV.

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend!

A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

The very first paragraph of Bondi's memorandum says "the solution is... to root out and eliminate the underlying condition". Even when they're trying to sound like high-minded professionals they instantly revert to outright Nazi rhetoric.

simply because their research didn’t align with the administration’s narrative. Let that sink in: the federal government is pressuring a medical journal over what it’s allowed to publish. This isn’t about science or national security, it’s about control. It’s about silencing dissent.

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

A bunch of people lining up outside the UM basketball stadium for the Bernie rally.

Montana showing up!!!

The NPR, PBS Grift Has Ripped Us Off for Too Long For years, American taxpayers have been on the hook for subsidizing National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which spread

As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance.

In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites."

But this is unequivocal fact.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

there is no “epidemic,” he is almost certainly going to say it is vaccines and, well, stay safe everyone.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?

Both. It's both.

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today!

It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

In a world that asked us to be cruel and to close off our heart remember that it’s a good thing to have a heart that can still break.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

This is what the opposition did in the Hungary Parliament when they passed the Pride ban.

May we have congresspeople with an ounce of the courage.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

This isn’t legal, Elon.

Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.
