.@RepJeffries "Our message to Florida Republicans is F around and find out. If they go down the road of a DeSantis 'dummymander', the Florida Republicans are going to find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans."
This is an extremely lame gobbledygook answer. Even if AOC has some personal issue with @saikatc, he is clearly the best candidate from a left perspective and that should matter more than whatever her personal grievance is. She also had no problem endorsing several other candidates so none of this response even makes sense.
They have called us back at midnight to cast a secret vote to reauthorize FISA while America sleeps. A yes vote gives Trump more power to surveil Americans.
Every Democrat must vote no. Everyone who loves the constitution must vote no.
Way more Dems than Golden want to continue this war. But they know it's politically toxic to vote for this war.
So Dem leadership gets Golden to be the one vote to make sure this fails. He's not running for re-election, so he has nothing to lose. That's how this works.
Q: Is your expectation other countries will assist in effort to blockade Iran?
TRUMP: Yeah. Other countries are gonna also.
Q: Which countries, sir?
TRUMP: We don't need other countries.
@newrepublic The bigger picture is #inequality.
Let's not pretend COVID didn't turbocharge a post-GFC trend of the 1% getting far richer than the rest of the country.

The use of primary energy on the vertical axis is an old trick by the fossil fuel industry to mislead people into thinking that one unit of fossils = one unit of renewables. In fact, one unit of primary energy for wind or solar electricity is the equivalent of three units of fossil fuels for electricity.
Another trick is to pretend we need all those fossils if we switched to renewables. In fact, if we switch to renewables, 12% of the fossil fuel energy disappears because that is how much energy is used to mine-transport-refine fossil fuels+uranium for energy, and we wouldn't need to do that anymore
A third trick is to pretend we need so much energy if we go to all electricity powered by renewables. In that case, because EVs use 75% less energy than gasoline/diesel vehicles, heat pumps use 75% less energy than combustion heating, etc., energy demand goes down another 42%.
In sum, this plot illustrates the real story of where we are and where we need to go. The proper metric is end-use energy, not primary energy.

On its 15th birthday, @NatureClimate Change has looked back at some groundbreaking articles it has published over the years. I'm proud this article led my friend & colleague Stefan @Rahmstorf (of which I was privileged to be a co-author) is featured:

There is no ceasefire. Like Gaza before it, Lebanon is being decimated to make way for annexation. That’s what this war was always about—using your tax dollars for their territorial expansion.
