Been hearing and thinking that January 2026 felt* as cold as January 2014, but it wasn't close #climate 🧪 *reminder to not trust anecdotal data (including to myself)

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

@whitehouse.senate.gov pushed the Senate to affirm that climate change is not a hoax. Shocking no one, a Republican objected.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Discovered over the summer, the comet known as 3I/Atlas will pass within 167 million miles of our planet on Friday, the closest it gets on its grand tour of the solar system. https://to.pbs.org/44wetuN

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year. Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses. No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has issued a warning about license plate tampering and has launched a reporting hotline to address the issue.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Dr. Brian Lee: “The weight of evidence for air pollution and autism is certainly a lot stronger than for acetaminophen and autism but I don’t see anyone in the administration rushing out to say we should limit air pollution.” Ohhh, mic drop.🧪

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

First thing on their list was to gut medical science research, All research really. And they have succeeded. Until we start putting balls to the fire, these few individuals will continue their destructive spree. 🧪

The Trump administration has redacted the entire "study" that they used to justify halting New York's Empire Wind clean energy project earlier this year. They are blocking clean, cheap energy in order to give handouts to Big Oil.

Is this a good strategy? YES! By consciously redirecting our money and supporting alternatives, we put pressure on them to shift their priorities. History shows this works—think Montgomery Bus Boycott or today’s campaigns targeting Target and Tesla.

What if you CAN’T boycott the Big 3? Do whatever you can do. Not everyone will have access to alternatives due to poverty, disability, proximity, etc, and we should never shame someone for survival. Even a partial boycott, for those are able, can make a huge difference.

Shop small to avoid feeding the Big 3, seek out or build alternatives, do your own research to divest from fascism as much as you can. Are you ready to blackout the economy? Drop your questions and ideas in the comments, and let’s build the community we need to do this! #EconomicBlackout #Resist

A lot of companies want the EPA in charge of setting national climate regulations because it helps shield them from lawsuits and creates a predictable environment in which to make investments.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

America's drug dealers, child sex traffickers and serial killers have a special message for Donald Trump:

“You’re losing the managerial and core technical expertise of the agency,” said Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at The Planetary Society. “What’s the strategy and what do we hope to achieve here?”

What is the Rubin Observatory and why are astronomers so excited about it? My colleague @danclery.bsky.social has been to the telescope and spoken to some of the scientists who will use it. This video is well worth 10mins of your time. 🔭🧪 m.youtube.com/watch?v=2C77...

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.
