  Substantively, Booker delayed this vote by several hours. But he also did it the hard way and proved he was willing to put aside his own comfort. By comparison the other types of obstruction advocates have been pointing to, such as objecting to unanimous consent agreements, is far less strenuous.

  Greenlander's are very transparent they don't want this shit. Also I'm going to repeat again: Greenland has for awhile seen aligning at least somewhat with US interests as a way of decoupling from Denmark. In much the way a Trump has even Quebecers waving the Candian Flag, he has Greenlanders
  

  Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis @kendrawrites.com

  Saying Denmark isn't so bad. Also: have you been to Greenland? Most of the communities aren't connected by land. It's ferry or plane. You can overland only in the (short) summer really, unless you're very good at dog sledding

  A recent report assessing the health of U.S. bird populations 🦅🕊️ presents a grim outlook: Birds in the U.S. are declining, and a third of the species — 229 to be precise — are in need of urgent conservation actions. Read:
  

  Jeff Berardelli @weatherprof.bsky.social

  In today’s Berardelli Bonus… 90 arrives in Tampa tomorrow, as a very very early season heatwave kicks in thru the weekend. Our first 90 degree day is 50 days earlier than it was a century ago and we now have 2X more 90 degree days than we did in the 1970s (from 60 to 120) due to climate change

  The sheer volume of time and energy being spent by thousands of university-based researchers in *every* field right now to figure out if their funding will exist next month or next year, if their careers can even continue… just citing dollar values doesn’t do it justice, it is full-scale upheaval.
  

  Andrew D Thaler @drandrewthaler.bsky.social

  Notably, Booker is still talking about policy and staying on message. Much earlier into their own filibusters, Ted Cruz was reading Green Eggs and Ham and Thurmond was reading from the phone book.

  NOAA’s office of Oceanic Atmospheric Research has had IT and other support contracts canceled in the last day or so that will fundamentally affect its operation. One source there said “It will seriously hurt our ability to improve weather forecasting and climate projections.”

  My anxiety is 📈. Here's what helps: -making and eating a high-protein meal -deep breaths -stretching -calling a friend -walking my dog -donating to a charity -cleaning my place -"just do five minutes" -"it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to get done" -remembering my enemies will die one day

  Here’s a live data tracker and map of academics targeted by ICE/State Dept, as well as an ICE detention tracker. To note in the academic abductions: Every arrest or attempted arrest so far has been done off-campus. Degree being pursued and country of origin show no patterns yet.

  David Roberts @volts.wtf

  As I've been shouting for longer than I can even remember now, the ill health of the US information environment is the Ur-problem. No other political problems are solvable until it is addressed. You can't solve problems in reality when most citizens of your democracy aren't living in reality.
  

  George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

  Landscape-scale vandalism, rebranded as "preservation". The natural vegetation type on much of Dartmoor is temperate rainforest. But when it starts to regenerate, it gets burnt off for sheep pasture, creating the bleak, treeless wastes that dominate the park. Then they spin it as something good.
  

  George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

  3. We need more trees, but there should be an obvious decision-making hierarchy: a. Natural regeneration wherever possible. b. If required, assisted regeneration (clearing competing vegetation, protecting volunteer seedlings, deer control). c. Only if those don't work, tree planting.
  

  Michael E. Mann @michaelemann.bsky.social

  This stuff is straight from Steve Bannon's playbook. These utterances are intended to move the Overton window of discourse increasingly to the authoritarian right, so the daily barrage of fascist acts by Trump & Republicans seems almost mundane & falls beneath the radar. The banality of evil.
  

  Brooke @brooklynmarie.bsky.social

  It's a very simple relationship. He shows up and stares at the windows until one of us takes out a plate of food and then he hides until we go inside, sprays everywhere, and then eats and leaves. This has gone on for at least five years and trapping him etc. is out of the question

  This is how disinformation campaigns provide permission structures for human rights abuses
  

  Richard Waite @waiterich.bsky.social

  *whispers* - And also Denmark recently established a world-first policy to comprehensively address agriculture’s environmental impacts, with aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce water pollution, and protect and restore forests and peatlands.
  

  Jan Rosenow @janrosenow.bsky.social

  Did you know that 2/3 of all energy we use ends up as waste heat because of how inefficient our energy system is? Yet we pay for 100% of the energy inputs. Here’s the US as an example.

  
  

  Karen K. Ho @karenho.bsky.social

  sometimes, when I worry about whether my life's work has any meaning, I remember that my work is still relevant years later, and I did not cause the dissolution of USAID, or add a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing war crimes
  

  Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @irishrainforest.bsky.social

  Studies show a massive return of fish and marine megafauna to sites with these underwater tidal turbines. How? Simple: overfishing is prevented. If they proved suitable for Irish locations, it would be *such* a win-win, generating clean electricity AND providing a haven for marine ecosystems.

  Luisa Neubauer @luisaneubauer.bsky.social

  In the U.S., anti-terror laws are used against student protesters, while in Germany, laws on organized crime are applied to climate activists. This is dangerous, and we need to take it seriously. t.co/IPnX91HdKE
  

  Annie Leymarie @annieleymarie.bsky.social

  "The 'radical flank effect' shows that when radical activists push boundaries, they often make moderate voices in the same movement appear more reasonable. Recent research found that even when JSO provoked public anger, support for moderate organisations such as Friends of the Earth increased."
  

  Seth D. Michaels @sethdmichaels.bsky.social

  this is why you can’t give it credence with “sure there’s lots of waste and fraud and abuse, but.” You’ve gotta contest the premise that this is what they’re doing at all.
  

  Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @irishrainforest.bsky.social

  "But natural regeneration is too slow, nature needs us to plant trees to speed things up." A total myth: very often, natregen is way faster. Either way, the result is FAR superior ecologically. How? It's doing what trees have done since they first evolved, aeons before we came along. 🌍
  

  Helen Czerski @helenczerski.bsky.social

  "The system" is a thing we create to organise ourselves. We should rule it, not the other way round. Systems can be changed, because they are human inventions. All of us can make our corner of "the system" better, more empathetic, greener. Progress comes by valuing the humans above the system.

  Mother Jones @motherjones.com

  The Trump administration has targeted at least eight foreign academics in America for deportation, often sending officers to snatch them off the street and shipping them halfway across the country—increasingly in apparent defiance of court orders against their rendition.
  

  Mother Jones @motherjones.com

  Reporting from @nlanard.bsky.social and @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social reveals how immigrants are being swept up and targeted by the Trump administration for innocuous tattoos. Lanard appeared on All In With Chris Hayes to discuss his and Isabela Dias’ reporting on the terrifying story.

  If anyone is curious what this office actually does, here is what they say their mission is: "to provide strategic leadership and management, while encouraging collaboration, coordination, and innovation among federal agencies and stakeholders to reduce the burden of infectious diseases."

  two months after the moss landing battery fire in california, many near the site are still ill — and say the government is not doing enough to find out why they’re sick. is moss landing an “east palestine” moment for the energy transition? i spent weeks investigating to find out. cc @heatmap.news
