Breaking News: The Trump administration is backing off a plan to end an ocean monitoring system critical to understanding climate change. https://t.co/u1coejtfde

Trump is shutting down the nation's premier honeybee research lab even as a massive bee die-off unfolds.

As usual, it is illegal to do this without approval from Congress, but Trump is doing it anyway.

It’s kind of insane that we’re all lucky enough to live on this insignificant blue ball floating in an endless void that can somehow keep us alive indefinitely and yet a huge chunk of people want to ruin it forever in the name of an economic concept that we made up ourselves

[Thomas van Linge @ThomasVLinge]

Kinda crazy that historians will look back on both the Iran and Iraq wars and consider Iraq to have been the more thought through one

[NH Public Radio @nhpr]

The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration has announced plans to roll back protections for North Atlantic right whales as part of the Trump Administration's ongoing efforts to deregulate across multiple government sectors.

There are fewer than 380 right whales left in the world, with roughly 70 females capable of bearing young.

People will look back at this decision as one of the most disastrous by Trump (and there are already so many to choose from). Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change https://t.co/FfiIGmOCtl

Instead of lending out dollars to banks, the Federal Reserve should lend out Jerome Powell’s spine to Republican senators.

I have zero sympathy for Maduro and his regime, but there is no legitimacy in Trump deciding to bomb Venezuela.

It’s pure imperialism, which gives imperialists in Russia and China an excuse to use whataboutism to justify their own insane actions

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States…

The United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Is there a specific time we all die today? Trying to plan my outfit.

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵

You could watch the news 24/7 & not know that:

Our planet’s at its hottest in 120,000 years.
Methane levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
CO2 levels their highest in 3 MILLION years.

We're in a climate crisis. Denying it won't solve the problem.

“Will I die?”

“No! No! All will be well. Don’t worry!”

Every politician in the world needs to see this!

I can’t stop thinking about how transformative this CATL salt battery is going to be.
- No more wars for lithium,
- No more child slavery cobalt mines,
- 1/10th the cost but lasts 25 years,
- No EV battery fires burning down ships or garages,
- Exports energy storage abundance to the world,
- Paired with solar, brings down installation costs,
- Brings down cost of everything with a battery.
