Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El NiΓ±o

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

The thing that's really confounding is that people are betting against others who both (a) control the outcome and (b) are participating in the betting. It's like going to a casino that advertises its games are rigged. The rich get richer while everyone else is happy to be fleeced.

yes, we must stop them! I'm astounded by Bernie's clarity on this - but this isn't about Bernie, it's about all of us of working together to stop this existential crisis. Every single person who cares about the future is needed and can help, and we do not have to figure out on our own:

Gosh who wouldn't love to go back in time and slap anyone who had this attitude in the 90s, 00s, 10s...?

Instead of putting our foot selfishly on the accelerator, perhaps a better strategy is to work together to stop this bleak future. Nothing is certain and human ingenuity in crisis is profound.

I do appreciate her energy sometimes too though!

But I think people should know what she's about, and should only support her if they're fans of John Fetterman too -- which is to say that she has a track record of legislating in the interest of her big money donors over that of her constituents.

Minnesota’s Angie Craig Lines Up With Crypto at GOP-Heavy Conference Democratic midterms are offering a few clear contrasts, but also plenty of muddy ones.

Angie Craig was also the sole democrat at a crypto conference last year where she introduced Eric Trump, and the crypto industry spent over a million dollars on her campaign.

Angie Craig's biggest donor, who she's taken *hundreds of thousands of dollars* from, is cheering on this war with Iran.

Politicians serve the interests of their donors, and unlike Angie Craig, Peggy Flanagan has taken a hard stand on rejecting donations from corporate/foreign PACs.

Okay, just Minnesotans here?

Angie Craig has taken money from crypto and AIPAC.

Peggy Flannagan has NOT and WILL not.

Angie Craig praised ICE before Metro Surge. She changed her tune now.

Peggy Flanagan has not praised ICE.

VOTE PEGGY FLANAGAN FOR SENATOR!

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

Thanks for sharing this. I have a friend who fits that description, and it's been been sad/challenging to see her take refuge in ideas that are designed to exploit people who have this vulnerability. I haven't given up on her though, and will check out that book.

Today the race is on.

I’m counting on your support to defeat the AIPAC-backed quarter billionaire who bought this seat.

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens?

Ilhan Omar: Five steps to take in response to Operation Metro Surge "Nothing about what we witnessed was normal," U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar writes. "Where do we go from here?"

Trump’s β€œOperation Metro Surge” was a militarized campaign of fear that treated immigrants as criminals and weaponized the federal government against U.S. citizens.

We need independent investigations, real accountability, and to abolish ICE.

A tweet from 2022 in which Rep. Angie Craig shares a comic from Scott county GOP that portrays internal DFL party jostling over MPD funding, with AG Keith Ellison and Rep. Ilhan Omar (who both live in and represent Minneapolis) on one side and Craig and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on the other. In her tweet, Craig credits her GOP opponents for their accuracy.
