Scotland is aiming to be the world's first rewilded country. It's looking to rewild 30% of the country by 2030. We have the solutions. Replenishing and protecting nature is one of them. #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity #GreenNewDeal

When Trump said that he wanted Hitler’s generals, he was calling -himself- Hitler.
I will never stop saying this: it was JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, who first compared Trump to Hitler.

BTW in the column that so aggrieved Andreessen I note that Facebook, Google and Amazon have destroyed local journalism, and note that if they paid news organizations what they should them they would be handing over between $12bn and $14bn a year. He did not screenshot that.

This includes Democrats in the House and Senate. Don't give legitimacy to the inauguration - do not attend! Instead, lock arms and join in local community efforts in honor of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
Nobody should show up for Trump's inauguration. No former president nor the current outgoing president. We should not give even tacit approval to this man who tried to overthrow our government.

This applies to Donald Trump and to any other federal official. It is essential for democratic self-governance and essential for foreign policy stability.

This brilliant piece by Doha Mekki on the long and important relationship between antitrust and racial justice is well worth your time. Read, think on it, share.
Replying to @BedoyaUSA
7/ But PDAAAG Mekki makes the more important point that antitrust and civil rights are both born of the same older, larger struggle to secure the rights of ordinary people against powerful. It is a must read. justice.gov/opa/speech/princ…

It has become clear that constructive, supportive ideas developed some time ago on the international climate negotiations have been misinterpreted in today's context — so I want to make unequivocal our conviction: The COP process is an essential and irreplaceable vehicle for supporting the multilateral, multisectoral, systemic change we urgently need. Now more than ever. We are committed allies to and advocates for this process — and lend our total support to positive efforts underway to further strengthen it for the new era of implementation we are entering into. As the UN, countries, and the groundswell of non-state actors have demonstrated — we all need COP29 to deliver the leadership that people, communities, businesses urgently want and need. clubofrome.org/impact-hubs/c…

A rapist for AG. A spy for DNI. A zealot for Defense. An antivaxer for Health. A criminal for president. This is what Orwellian means.

Still telling it as it is! Still a real leader!
Today the climate meeting #COP29 starts in Baku. During Cop, the picture of Azerbaijan reported by the media will be a whitewashed and greenwashed version that the regime is desperate to portray. But make no mistake – it is a repressive state accused of ethnic cleansing.

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.
