Forever one of my favorite climate gifs

[Prof. Michael Sweet @DiseaseMatters]

A startling info graphic from @UN - even our ‘best case’ scenario regarding climate change and the impact on our coral reefs is dire and we are unlikely to limit warming to 1.5•C so things will be much much worse - are you ready to say good bye to 30% of all marine life?

Ohio opens door Tuesday to applications for oil and gas drilling underneath state parks & other lands
“It’s like a ribbon-cutting,” said Mike Chadsey, director of public relations for the Ohio Oil and Gas Association.

Ted is right. Ted also should look at his replies and start thinking long and hard about how extreme his party has become

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

This Uganda law is horrific & wrong.

Any law criminalizing homosexuality or imposing the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” is grotesque & an abomination.

ALL civilized nations should join together in condemning this human rights abuse.

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

There is more than enough public information to confidently assess Governor Ron Desantis's character, intentions, and his approach to governance.

The press is treating him like an ordinary candidate, when he is anything but.

DeSantis is a small, thin-skinned demagogue who has shown nothing but contempt for democratic norms and the lives of Floridians.

If he was ever elected president, he would use the federal government as a blunt force object against perceived enemies.

He engages in the most destructive acts of performative sadism just to appeal to the worst among us.

DeSantis would bring ruin to this nation.

The Republican Party.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

The problem with the GOP today isn’t that they’re creepy, which they are. It’s that they pretend to care about freedom while declaring war on every group or idea that threatens them. Banning books, restricting voting, & mandating pregnancy are not pro-freedom. They’re pro-fascism

We are so unbelievably lucky to have such a natural wonder right in our own backyard

This very system, paying taxes and investing it into every day people, is the very system @SenRonJohnson demonizes as socialism here in America.

We can't have this because of him and his party

[File411 @File411]

If House MAGA wants to hold the American people hostage with their irresponsible political brinkmanship by weaponizing of the debt ceiling.

☀️For the first time ever, investments in solar power are expected to outpace oil in 2023.

This major news comes as the Biden-Harris Administration continues our commitment to deliver cheaper and more reliable clean power sources across the U.S. 🇺🇸

In Vienna, a whopping 80% of residents qualify for public housing — and once you have a contract, it never expires, even if you get richer. What can be learned from a city that has largely avoided the housing crisis? https://t.co/6IA7vhcTqs

Nah man. @elonmusk absolutely had a choice. He chose to bow down and kiss the ring. That's in fact a choice

But.... it's an exclusively black holiday. I mean, it's not celebrating the emancipation of the whites

The organizer of a Juneteenth event in South Carolina explains banner depicting white couple: “We did not want to make this exclusively Black. That is not in the spirit of unity."

[Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies]

Just a casual FYI, the U.S. loses out on $1,000,000,000,000 (that's one trillion dollars) yearly in unpaid taxes mostly due to tax evasion by the wealthy and corporations.

But sure, low income people wanting groceries and healthcare is the problem.

[comfortably dumb @robpalooza]

Is it a perfect deal? God no. But this was never a good faith negotiation. The GOP took the economy hostage and demanded a ransom. And the ransom the democrats ended up paying is pretty small. The GOP got the bare minimum, and the MAGA base knows it

[comfortably dumb @robpalooza]

The far right being upset at the deal is the best sign that Biden got the better of it

[JD Vance @JDVance]

The more I learn about this debt ceiling deal, the more I think it’s bad news.
