@RonBrownstein@60Minutes Stephen Miller has made clear they’re going after naturalized citizens. Deporting the US citizen kids of undocumented immigrants completely fits their agenda. But all this assumes they’ll operate within the law. I’m not convinced they will. Deport first. Ask questions later.

If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what it’s like.

scratch the surface of any big oil company, you find a long trail of internal documentation going back decades revealing big oil's full awareness of their industry's decimating impact on the environment. today, over 75% of CO2 emissions are from fossil fuels. this truth matters
Nothing to see here -- just an internal report by Shell from 1989 precisely predicting the "violent weather" and "deluges" that just destroyed half of Appalachia, and summing up expected climate chaos with the comment, "Civilisation could prove a fragile thing."
"But to tear down a factory or to revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motorcycle because it is a system is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government. There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding.
That’s all the motorcycle is, a system of concepts worked out in steel. There’s no part in it, no shape in it, that is not out of someone’s mind…number three tappet is right on too. One more to go. This had better be it…. I’ve noticed that people who have never worked with steel have trouble seeing this—that the motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon. They associate metal with given shapes—pipes, rods, girders, tools, parts—all of them fixed and inviolable, and think of it as primarily physical. But a person who does machining or foundry work or forge work or welding sees “steel” as having no shape at all. Steel can be any shape you want if you are skilled enough, and any shape but the one you want if you are not. Shapes, like this tappet, are what you arrive at, what you give to the steel. Steel has no more shape than this old pile of dirt on the engine here. These shapes are all out of someone’s mind. That’s important to see. The steel? Hell, even the steel is out of someone’s mind. There’s no steel in nature. Anyone from the Bronze Age could have told you that. All nature has is a potential for steel. There’s nothing else there. But what’s “potential”? That’s also in someone’s mind!…Ghosts."

My brother Seth on the urgent need for a climate reboot:
"We are left with the worst of all outcomes – with milquetoast climate policies and a right-wing populist backlash nonetheless, such that even the modest advances of the last decade are at imminent risk of being tossed out the window."
