Tucker Carlson just got booted from Fox News, so it's worth recalling the most memorable interview he did, one he didn't air because the guest exposed him for what he really is

Science is not a belief system
You cannot pick & choose which bits to believe & which to deny
Science is a rational/logical system based on collecting observations & evidence which modern society is based
So believe/deny whatever you want - Earth 🌍 is still getting hotter 🥵
March was the 529th straight month hotter than the 20th century average. If you're younger than 44, you've never seen a cooler-than-normal month

over the past 5 years 2840+ mass shootings have occured in the us, 3 of those shooters have been trans. guns are the number 1 killer of children 1-18 and the right are salivating over a school shooter being trans to deflect away from the main issue. ease of access to weapons.
I had a few things to say about the latest mass shooting. You can tell me to get back in my lane. I don't care. We are failing to protect our children, and we are accepting that life includes the constant risk of sudden death in a hail of bullets. https://t.co/bLGKoOpeBB

A thread on climate hypocrisy in the finance sector, and why it matters.
This week @Vanguard_Group withdrew from the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative in a cowardly walkback. Vanguard knows climate risk is financial risk that threatens all their clients. https://t.co/zKV2nTAICz
