Climate change is an immediate threat to our future. Racism is stupid. Science, Environment, Sweary, Lefty, Atheist, Politics, 80's music. 320 ppm Free Palestine, Ukraine must win.

Norway's Prime Minister ripped apart trumps stupid letter. Love this! Every leader receiving a letter like this from TACO, should do the same. Thanks for your attention to this matter! ============================

Leader Jefferies didn’t meet with Jared Kushner to make nice. And Jeffries made damn sure there was no misunderstanding: NO ONE GETS A PASS. “If you’re stealing from the American people, shortchanging the American people or screwing over the American people, you’re going to be held accountable.“

Something interesting to me is how there's a spectrum between explicit fatalism ("we cannot stop impacts") and narrow focus on catastrophe of impacts (the Eliot Jacobson stuff) The latter isn't explicitly fatalist, but when it's the *ONLY* message, it becomes the former by emotional implication

1/ Doomism means saying it's too late and nothing can be done. It doesn't mean saying things are bad. One recent high profile paper in @pnas.org treats conflates this. Whilst another paper in the British Journal of Psychology treats naming who funded climate delay as conspiracism. A thread 🧵

Cooper: When Whatley was chair of the NC Republican Party, he appointed a guy who was on the sex offender registry. So that’s the kind of thing that we’re dealing with here: people who pretend to be tough on crime, yet when it comes to politics, they want to protect people who are child predators.
