Since I can no longer block ignorance, haters, liars and extremists I will spend my time elsewhere. Retired journalist.

Mamdani won by 16 points, froze rent for 1 million apartments, opened city grocery stores, balanced a $12 billion deficit, and knocked out seven corporate Democrats in one week — turns out voters want to be governed, not managed.

If we lose our bee population, the Earth basically collapses. They are responsible for pollinating about 1/3 of the food we eat. They are far more important to humans than any AI tool or data center. Save the bees NOW.

Charlamagne tha God: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency and class and poise and intelligence. That no longer exists now. Now that bar is in hell. Satan and his demons use that bar to limbo”

The fact that the most bloodthirsty Zionist mouthpieces, from Van Jones to Fetterman, are running with similar narratives about this tabloid trash should tell you all you need to know about it. This is a hit piece, motivated by Platner's strong stance on cutting aid to Israel.

James Carville backs Graham Platner: “We’ve got a fucked up guy who could be 100x more fucked up than he is and he’d never be as fucked up as what we’ve got in Washington. This country is about to lose it, the whole goddamn thing. We gotta win this. If we got a person that’s understandably got issues, good. Maybe people oughta see it and maybe we oughta be reminded what these stupid wars have brought about and the consequence of said stupid wars that stupid Susan Collins’ been for all of her political life”

[Anthony Emerson❤️🌲🦞🇾🇪🌹 @AnthonyMEmerson]

This is a bigger scandal than anything that’s been reported about Graham Platner btw

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Maine voter asked about Platner: "Probing into the minutiae of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous."

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline.

“Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.*

Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.**

Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”***

* in 1937, Guy Callendar published a paper showing that the world had already warmed over the last 50 years due to human emissions what he called “carbonic acid“ – what we now call CO2 – from burning fossil fuels

** If you are wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?”

— it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now.

So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming.

Massive bombshell. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah warns that AI will displace human labor on a catastrophic global scale. He confirms tech elites have absolutely no mechanism to share the wealth, leaving the global poor completely abandoned to suffer. He is 100% accurate.

icymi: estimate by end of 2040s at 2-3°C global warming (very likely): billions of people killed due to activities of capitalism, colonialism and growth-driven economies

[Frankamin Benlin @human_xxoo]

Ronald Reagan was full of shit. His ideas were garbage. He destroyed the middle class. He stuck us with enormous debt and dismantled the Peoples government and replaced it with a crappy oligarch puppet party.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

I am sick and tired of grown adults calling the climate crisis a hoax. This is not a debate, the science has been settled for decades. Your ignorance is not just embarrassing, it is actively destroying the planet and every living thing on it.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

scientists: unsurvivable 4°C global warming is totally plausible and can occur even with required mitigation for 2°C.. warming rates/acceleration imply 4°C by 2050-99

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

David @SangerNYT is worth listening to here, for he's eloquent in noting that not only is reporting not treason, but the accusation from Trump to the contrary is an effort to intimidate the press so that we don't do our job. Honored to have him as a @nytimes colleague.

[Jerome Foster II @JeromeFosterII]

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers & ice sheets and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.

No time to wait. #climate

@UMichFootball @Vikings @BredesonMax Hope they treat you better than they have JJ

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Newspapers shouldn’t cover things Trump says as news. There should be a special rubric called "Trump said this" in the corner of the page or as a separate tab. This would be clarifying.
