And here they are, the global sea surface temperature warming stripes in 1024 colors.

Q1. Can you spot the El Niño years?

Q2. Can you see how totally f&%ked we are?

[Leon Simons 🌍 @LeonSimons8]

😳WHAT THE F*CK😳

Normally I don't swear, but this is totally crazy.

Global temperature is 0.9°C higher than normal.

This is the highest anomaly ever and we are about 1.5 month away from the annual global peak surface air temperature.

Things began to look very unusual two months ago.
Today the charts need no commentary, they speak for themselves.
This is the Atlantic.

This isn’t NYC today.

This was 1973, just after the EPA was created and before it transformed air and water quality. In those early years the agency enlisted photographers to catalogue environmental disasters before they were cleaned up. The climate crisis is reversing history.

I see a lot of "how to protect yourself from smoke" articles and not a single "here is who is responsible and what we can do to them" articles.

[NY Working Families Party @NYWFP]

The smoke choking New York is a painful reminder that the climate crisis does not affect us all equally. Today, there are tens of thousands of unhoused and housing-insecure New Yorkers who have no choice but to breathe the deadly air for 24 hours. (1/3)

[more dysgenic, actually! @onlineva_]

this morning, atl city council voted to fund #copcity as many of us expected they would.

which is why i addressed my comments not to the snakes that mock democracy; but to you, the people of atlanta. to remind you that we have all the power to #StopCopCity

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Reminder: The tools that protect us from COVID — masks, air filters, and structural policies like expanded healthcare access — are the tools that we need to protect us from the climate crisis, which is causing a decrease in air quality and increase of disease outbreaks.

[Leah Goodridge @leahfrombklyn]

I hate this feeling.

I get it every winter when there’s a snowstorm and every summer when it’s record heat.

And I have it today during the worst record air quality for NYC in history. It’s the “what’s being done to protect homeless people living outside?” and knowing the answer

BREAKING: Military-style police in Atlanta invade a house to lock up 3 people in charge of a legal fund that helps "Cop City" protesters get bailed out of jail. This is a brazen assault on the US Constitution.

The real crime here is being committed by the police.

5/6/1933, exactly 90 years ago today the Nazis sacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology, destroying countless scientific research into queer Healthcare including transition procedures for trans people. The most famous pictures of a Nazi book-burning are from this event.

Thinking a lot today about Kitty Genovese, a lesbian from Brooklyn, whose brutal and senseless murder by a stranger was twisted and exploited to push a racist, anti-urbanist, and factually-incorrect narrative that has shaped the last 50+ years of American history. ❤️🧡🤍💜

[Dripped Out Trade Unionists @UnionDrip]

"If we don't get it, shut it down" is taken literally in France as protestors build a concrete wall in the middle of a national road in Toulouse. #A69

In the last few decades, the SUV market in America has exploded.

Automakers say the reason for this growth has been "changing consumer preferences."

But that's not the full story.

One of the main reasons for the growth is the "SUV loophole."

BREAKING: Georgia police shot "Cop City" protestor Manuel Terán 57 times in the first state killing of a climate activist in the US. Official autopsy also shows Terán did not fire a gun which obliterates the police narrative.

Evidence Terán was executed is overwhelming.

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

Ursula K. Le Guin: "If it is the future you seek, then I tell you that you must come to it with empty hands… You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere."

UBI critics: If we give people money without conditions, people will stop working.

UBI pilot: Turns out the UBI group worked more than the control group.

UBI critics: Well of course giving people more money works. But it costs too much.

UBI pilot: Turns out the money spent on UBI reduced other costs greater than the UBI.

UBI critics: Yeah but people will stop working.

The cops paid for robot dogs by stealing stuff from people. Abolish the police.
