Folks...I am rarely at a loss for words, but here we are. The world moving forward looks quite different from how it did just yesterday (including, perhaps especially, in terms of climate trajectory). I'll share more thoughts later in some form, but for now that's all I've got.
Donald Trump just promised to "terminate" the Inflation Reduction Act.
That would kill millions of jobs and send us on the path to utterly devastating climate change.
We cannot let him win.
The US should immediately cease and desist Middle East regime change efforts.
Hall-of-shame ideas floating around:
* "Day-after" plan for Gaza that excludes Palestinians
* Proposals for pliant new Lebanon president
* Leadership strikes on Iran
The salmon have returned to the Klamath! 🐟 From our project team's first sighting of a fish just above former Iron Gate Dam, now agencies, Tribes, & fisheries monitors are finding spawning adults in multiple tributaries above the former dam sites, even all the way up in Oregon!
Gross. Siding with republicans to oppose Prop K & preserve the car-dominated status quo bc it's "dividing" sf is the opposite of progressive - it's cowardice & just maintains the division
Families are adopting e-bikes throughout San Francisco, helping to decrease car traffic, demand for car parking, noise, air pollution, climate emissions, and roadway crashes.
We need to help more people shift trips to bikes now, including by creating an e-bike incentive program.
Strongly suspect #ParkFire will make it into top 10, & even top 5, on this list given location, absence of recent fire history, & antecedent conditions (long period of record-breaking heat & evaporative demand) plus expectation of more anomalous heat rest of season. #CAfire#CAwx
Sup @Waymo Are your cars programmed to double park in bike lanes as this one was at a busy and dangerous section of Polk street today? I don’t even see human drivers double parking in the bike lane in this block since it’s obviously such a bad idea.
Yes, it's happened. Polio detected in #Gaza sewage. IDF wants all soliders vaccinated/boosted. Live btwn river & sea and scared? you should be. Know what wd work well? Stopping the war, immediate rehab of Gaza's health system & all civilian infrastructure 1/7 🧵
It’s time for American foreign policy that upholds American values and laws — good for people in the Middle East, good for Americans.
Take and use what you like from our Blueprint. It’s a tool for everybody.

Biden’s Gaza policy has overwhelmed the last year of his presidency.
America’s complicity in apparent war crimes and a new regional Middle East war will define the legacy of Biden and his foreign policy team.
Here comes a thread about a way out.

The prolonged & intense Western U.S. heatwave continues. Last 2 weeks are now warmest late June through early July period on record across most of California (including some coastal areas), much of Arizona, parts of Nevada, and western Oregon. #CAwx#AZwx#NVwx#ORwx [1/2]
Don't give me that **** excuse of "just because it is summer." Next week will take the cake, with blistering above average temperatures from coast to coast brought to us by climate change. @MichaelEMann@KHayhoe @Climatologist49
