Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

A combined approach of aggressive clean air policies and climate action could allow China to achieve “triple control” of fine particles, ozone, and carbon dioxide by 2030, and provide a roadmap for developing countries. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/1TNG50XsWmm

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

So tax breaks for private jets are ok but for healthcare they're not. Got it.

Fuck them Dems and the fascists they collaborated with.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

There is no reason to fund this government as it starves millions of Americans, invades U.S. cities, disappears people, strangles universities, acts as a pay-for-pay operation for the president, guts environmental rules, commits war crimes, kills foreign aid, and dismantles public health.

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.

Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

Oh, changing the time by one hour for Daylight Savings is messing with your sleep schedule? "Why is it dark at 5 p.m.," you ask?

Frilled sharks live in such deep water that they never see the sun at all! You didn't think about THAT, did you? No, you only ever think about yourself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
