levels CO2 concentration in the atmosphere are increasing rapidly... very worrying.

"Scientists are worried that the natural land and ocean “sinks” that remove CO2 from the air are weakening as a result of global heating, which could form a vicious circle and drive temperatures up even faster." 1/n

Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating

CO2 in air hit new high last year, with scientists concerned natural land and ocean carbon sinks are weakening

He's not opening the government because he doesn't want those secret files revealed. It's not complicated.

I was just wondering if you were ok. Funny you should mention water leaks. I had one, too—a pinhole in the solder. Bad news is an estimated $5k. I’m handy but not that handy.

Glad you’re back.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

"Yoli" heads to work in the sweet potatoes at 3:30 am after leaving her children with a babysitter. She starts sorting sweet potatoes in the early morning when it's still dark outside. She must sort them by the correct size, which is not easy with the low light. #WeFeedYou

This is the best way to respond to Trump’s authoritarianism. It shows in black and white that he’s lying (again). This should be the example to be done nationwide.

I thought Trump hated war. Or is it just those he might have had to fight in?

Marty Taylor @realmartyt7.bsky.social · 1h

Shades of Vietnam.
Trump is itching to go to war with Venezuela. Whiskey Pete Hegseth is flying B-52 bombers off the coast of Venezuela while Army Special Forces are operating a few miles from the shore. This follows the admission that CIA operatives are already in place inside Venezuela. #ProudBlue

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.
