"Vermont's Climate Superfund Law...is modeled after the federal Superfund program, which has required companies to pay for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites since the 1980s. A refrain of the law’s supporters: “If you make a mess, you clean it up.” #PolluterPays www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/13/s...
In Vermont, courts weigh who should pay for the cost of climate change - The Boston Globe
Amid the Trump administration's rollback of climate protections, Vermont has become a key battleground for climate fights in the courts.

BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"
For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project
The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.

Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done?

Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Yes, and … it’s about dehumanizing and rejecting certain Americans, increasing the country’s “white” birthrate and reversing the 2045 whiteness cliff when supposedly superior white people become the minority in the United States.

It’s not like those motives are hidden very far from the surface.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

Excitedly announcing a giant new cost turns "money you actually have" into "excitement about money you expect to have"

Do that enough times and all you've got left are costs and expectations

I'm no business major but I'm pretty sure revenue is "money people actually give you that you actually have"

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
