CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."
But here's the part most will miss: the Polycrisis. Trump has doomed America in part because he's put us in the position of having to spend decades in recovery at a time when new enveloping crises are all going to hit at once: climate, energy, autocracy, AI.... the list goes on.
The rest of your natural life—and then some. That's how long we'll be cleaning up the mess of Trump and MAGAism. The nation as it was before is lost. It won't return. What we seek to save now isn't what used to be. It'll be something else altogether. It'll be what we make it.

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

Erika Hall@erikahall.bsky.social · 3d agoIt continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.
![In the United States, there have been 103,436,829[3] confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,238,563[3] confirmed deaths, the most of any country, and the 17th highest per capita worldwide.[43] The COVID-19 pandemic ranks as the deadliest disaster in the country's history.[44] It was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer.[45] From 2019 to 2020, U.S. life expectancy dropped by three years for Hispanic and Latino Americans, 2.9 years for African Americans, and 1.2 years for White Americans.[46] In 2021, U.S. deaths due to COVID-19 rose,[47] and life expectancy fell.[48]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ty2kxmxjmtealqi2kc7f4pww/bafkreiej6o22cdapxm6lj3rgrrznhhijzm5kpcjmvscemg2g7vg4tzm7na)

It would be interesting if they followed those who tested positive to see how many develop long COVID or other post-acute sequalae, since people believe COVID infections are benign and *certainly* don't believe there could be any consequences from an asymptomatic infection.

Sounds a lot like ADHD, which involves low dopamine levels. This is one of many reasons why denying that ADHD exists doesn't just hurt ADHDers. Research about ADHD (we have decades of it) could help understand long COVID and how to better treat it.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the brave 🇵🇹 🇨🇿 🇮🇹 🇬🇷 🇸🇪 🇭🇷 🇩🇪 🇸🇰 🇹🇷 teams deployed to France and Spain to fight the blaze. This is solidarity at its best, from the EU and beyond. The courage and dedication of these firefighters is a reminder that when we stand together, we are stronger.
