I'm not allowed to comment on Facebook today. But it's not notifying me, just hanging my comments up in "pending" forever.

EPA just finalized a rollback of pollution limits for fossil fuel power plants, and proposed another rule that would prevent future administrations from limiting climate pollution. This is outrageous – join @momscleanairforce.org in speaking out! app.sosha.ai/s/4oVZ914I

I get that the Trump White House has decided that Congress is a vestigial organ, but I think there should be more coverage of the fact that Brendan Carr just up and said "yes, Congress put a 39% cap on media ownership, but I think I can ignore it for reasons."

"There is one type of rare, gargantuan, towering lie that makes all the other mass lies throughout human history seem like frightened, scurrying, little adorable fibs." www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-mas...

Exclusive: We obtained a leaked playbook that Flock gives to cops to coach them on "how to speak to city council" to avoid getting their contracts canceled. Includes strategies like "own the narrative" by talking to mayor "before public comment periods" www.404media.co/own-the-narr...

Another blatantly corrupt scheme has been defeated by the courts.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

"...to the exclusion of all *other* false religions" sounds like a Freudian slip to me.

Here it comes.

EU must rebuild Gaza — and force Israel to pay for its destruction

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

January 6th war at least four times worse than Watergate honestly.

This little thread is a very interesting take on electoral politics. It is framing that provides a clear way of making sense of the actions of Democratic leadership in this moment.

Bipartisan majorities might be made skeptical of "growth" and infrastructure when they demand tangible stuff for their community but only get stuff like this. They won't feel a growth in state coffers, but will actually feel the effects of gigawatts of diesel generators.

I have to stop scrolling the news feed to find out more ways US cities and states are tightening nooses around their transportation and budgetary necks with the fucking car culture addiction.

Yet again, fossil fuel CEOs & their spin doctors are striving to poison the minds of our children, figuratively, so they can continue to do so literally. Air pollution is a neurotoxin that harms the brains of children (including during gestation/pregnancy) & adults. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Can we do a daily walkout, please?

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

$1 billion for a Ballroom, $10 billion for vanity projects in DC, $15 million for an arch in front of Arlington Cemetery. Meanwhile—they are proposing to cut over $1 billion in tribal programs, tribal housing, education, water and other basic programs, while opening sacred sites like Chaco Canyon.

It should have been called the “Forcing You to Respect Voting Rights Because We Know You’re Incorrigible Racists Act.”

Good for you! I think everyone needs to boycott Tennessee and all of its bars in Nashville and all of the amusement parks and the Great Smokey Mountains..

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

It's interesting how alec, the heritage foundation, the federalist society & russia all have the beliefs, interests & goals. 🤔

Meanwhile the Dem governor of NYS —which has roughly the same GDP as the nation state of Canada—is busy gutting our state climate law, doing the gas industry’s bidding, deepening fossil fuel dependency, and calling herself a climate realist. @governor.ny.gov

The emperor penguin is now officially endangered. Record low sea ice in Antarctica has decimated colonies, with populations projected to fall 50% within 50 years. This International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List update is a "warning" that climate change is accelerating the extinction.

Why this NASA climate scientist wants you to stay angry

We're living through the doom loop once again.

This is the kind of thing that led me out of conservatism. They'd say they were the ones being picked on and that they're championing fairness, then their actions said otherwise. And the other side, when I looked close, was actually playing fair.

The University of Iowa's new Center for Intellectual Freedom appears to be off to a rocky start in terms of enrolling students. They also went over budget on alcohol and food for their introductory event, which isn't surprising when faculty and legislators get together.
