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...
@11thhourmsnow.bsky.social so glad you highlighted @pbs.org on your Night Light tonight. They are fantastic. Some of the absolute best programming I've ever seen, including NOVA which you mentioned, is on PBS. I'm so glad they're still broadcasting. They represent the best of America. :)
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...
Republicans so busy doing nothing continuously on recess, they would not even qualify for SNAP if they needed it (because of the oppressive rules they now have in place for regular Americans)! #VoteBlue#RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

After 15-years in the GOP's gerrymandered grip, this could finally be the year we take back the #Wisconsin state legislature. But a dark money group has already spent ~$3.7M to keep the legislature in MAGA control.

Greedy, corrupt, thieving, mass murdering corporations, chief among them the fossil terrorists and other industrial polluters, are destroying our country and democracy. They are the enemy of the American People...
The story of one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time, Jesse Owens, and how his dad's decision to move north during the Great Migration changed Jesse's life.
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.
Oh wow.
Mike Lawler got so rattled when Cait Conley accurately called him out on his SALT deduction lie that he tried to get up and leave before being told by the forum moderator to sit down and calm down.
Oh, and the crowd laughed at him, too.

It is ludicrous to imagine that wildly profitable corporations are just too put upon if they have to worry about not killing or sickening hundreds of people while pursuing their obscene profits...

This is super important. But I don't hear anybody talking about all the deregulation at the EPA. Each regulation is written in blood, and each one eliminated by Zeldin IS KILLING PEOPLE! Each one MUST BE BROUGHT BACK!
Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, weโre dealing with it coming roaring back.
Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths."
Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.

Come on vegans, we have to do better. Please, stop ๐ prioritizing the feelings of those causing the suffering > the suffering itself. Vegan advocacy must include reality, and those funding this ongoing nightmare need to be made aware of the HUMANE LIES they naively continue to believe
1/3 High-concentration CO2 gas stunning is the primary global standard across major pork-producing nations, including Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, China, Brazil, Mexico, and most of Europe (like Denmark, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands).๐บ

Violently dragged into the slaughterhouse ๐บ๐Do you agree killing animals is wrong? This is a camel ..you are probably shocked by the fact that this animal will be brutally slaughtered. But what about chickens cows pigs goats sheep and fish etc. ? They also want to live! #LiveVegan save lives โ๏ธ

Did you know that producing one pound of beef is 25-50x worse for climate change than burning a pound of coal?
In fact, itโs 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.
Radar image of Tuesday's mass crane migration. A 100 km long line of migrating cranes was clearly visible on weather radar. It is estimated that around 10,000 (?) cranes were involved in that formation. The highest count observed was 26,000 migrating cranes on that day in Kangasala (near Tampere).

Glad your last guest tonight mentioned climate change and how probable each of the possible scenarios are. Her books look fascinating too - many ideas I often wonder about too. :)
Meanwhile People go to prison for throwing soup at a picture (covered by plastic screen), walking slowly, talking on Zoom, holding a sign. Come on @andyburnham.bsky.social sort this out or move aside for the only political leader with the courage to confront fascists, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Great to see Jay Inslee on the 11th hour tonight, especially with this being Climate Week. Thank you for this coverage Ali. As always, Jay is very knowledgeable and insightful about the climate emergency that's already killing millions of people each year.

Sure. We can continue blaming corporations & rigged policies for our current nosedive into an unmitigated extinction event
But make no mistake -
OUR INDIVIDUAL CHOICES MATTER
& the only way to move the needle is a baseline population willing to support politicians looking to make necessary changes

Daily I see posts about animals being killed in overwhelmed shelters yet the root cause is rarely if ever addressed ๐
If we really want to stop legalized abuse of animals, we must address ALL animal breeders of all animal species & stop making excuses to support them period.
