I love @velshi.com 's new "Nightlight" segment! Great idea - to calm distraught viewers into a more peaceful night's slumber. And tonight's was the best so far, highlighting 3 brave women who kept Climate.gov alive as Climate.us now, lighting the darkness of the existential threat of our time...

climate.govClimateNOAA experts provide data, tools and information to help people understand, prepare for and adapt to our changing climate.

Thank you @mariaressa.bsky.social for mentioning climate change on @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social tonight. Burning fossil fuels kills over 7 million people each year and climbing. By sheer death toll it is the #1 issue. The Fight must importantly also be against the fossil fuel oligarchs...

This is the dysfunction of our government under the d0-nothing Republicans. It's amazing anybody votes for the GOP. Truly amazing.

To be sure, there are well-trained, professional ICE agents who have been on the job for years. But most of this new crop of ICE "agents" are not cops, law enforcement, or even law-abiding. They are a gaggle of criminal dirtbags, deputized by the pathological lying lump of shit in the Oval Office.

Did you know that producing one pound of beef is 25-50x worse for climate change than burning a pound of coal? In fact, itโ€™s one of the most polluting things we can consume. And grass-fed beef is usually *even worse* โ€” thanks to its much higher land use and methane emissions.
