Some news: A few hours after I filed the draft to this story, CNN laid me off. As part of a massive restructuring/changes across the network, my role as climate writer was among the 200 that got cut last week. Itโ€™s disappointing, but Iโ€™ll be okay. My last day is on Feb 21. A thread.๐Ÿงต 1/

Trumpโ€™s executive order took aim at โ€œenvironmental justiceโ€ โ€” eliminating positions and assessing spending on projects, including those aimed at poor, rural communities. I talked to former WH environmental justice advisers to the Biden administration on what this means. www.cnn.com/2025/01/26/c...

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

I didn't think I'd have to repeat myself on this one, but I'm seeing 2024 election deniers out this morning, so here you go:

Let me make this clear: If you are pushing the lie Kamala can overturn the election, you're just like Trump. If you're pushing it here, you're just like Truth Social. If you're an election denier, you're just like MAGA. Careful of the Kool-Aid you're drinking, & who's telling you to drink it.

Didn't we once overthrow a whole ass government over shit like this? Taxation without representation has always gone over real well. Who wants to have a tea party? #revolution #boston #independence

BREAKING: 3 students shot at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee: โ€˜Person responsible for shooting is no longer a threatโ€™ I am sick of your โ€œThoughts and prayersโ€. We want action and laws!

"...a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity" @jamellebouie.net My man, you are a fucking wordsmith, and truer words have never been said. All the <3

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of โ€œaffirmative actionโ€ or โ€œDEIโ€ as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
