Posting a lot about climate and environment and their advocates.
🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.
The party claiming overwhelming support needs Trump to scramble in deep-red Mississippi, proving their 'popularity' is just hot air.

They're going to study this campaign in the future like scientists study the atomic bomb for the same reasons- so that nobody does it again
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 18h agoThe Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."
There’s a debate in the meteorology/ climate community about how to visualize the 2026 El Niño. One method subtracts recent tropical ocean warming mainly due to climate change (relative RONI index) and one that simply visualizes the event with no correction…
So how does 2026’s El Niño compare with 1997 after accounting for warmer tropical oceans? Bottom line: 2026 is still significantly stronger than 1997. For these October 14–20 maps, a RONI-style adjustment subtracts the tropical-average SST anomaly: 0.29°C in 1997 and 1.14°C in 2026…
Niño 3.4 changes from: • 1997: +2.13°C → +1.85°C • 2026: +3.34°C → +2.21°C 2026 remains warmer but its lead shrinks from 1.21°C to 0.36°C after adjusting for tropical-ocean warmth.

Who does the ocean belong to? I asked Otto Spijkers of Leiden University to explain the law of the sea, from territorial waters and fishing rights to deep-sea resources and international disputes. We also built a glossary to make the key terms easy to follow. ⬇️🌊
Who Does the Ocean Belong To?
The ocean looks open and borderless. International law sees layers: territorial waters, economic zones, the high seas... and even a different legal regime for the seabed underneath. Look at a map and...

Not long ago, Elon Musk’s unprecedented election donations would have been illegal — but now it’s not thanks to a reckless Supreme Court and paralyzed FEC. Such spending should be made illegal again. bit.ly/4ykN5fi
The Campaign Finance Scandal Is What’s Legal
Between Citizens United, a toothless FEC, and $1.3 billion in dark money, reform is badly needed.

When Republicans know what they want is unpopular, they lie. They deceive. They blow smoke up everyone’s ass It’s what they do. Half a century covering America’s reddest state taught me that
ProPublica@propublica.org · 12h agoMissouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.
Between 1920 and 1932, Black Texans built 527 "Rosenwald Fund" buildings in 52 counties: 464 schools with room for 57,330 children, 31 teachers’ homes, and 32 vocational shops.

Stark inequalities in access to green space must urgently be addressed. We were promised legislation so where is it? New legal mechanisms could give local communities access to unused public land for food growing & parks - great report from @globalfuturefndtn.bsky.social @friends-earth.bsky.social
The towns where thousands have no local park
With reforms on improving access to green spaces seemingly stalled - some are taking matters into their own hands to bring nature into their communities

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.
There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win
Miles Grant@milesgrant.bsky.social · 13h agoJolene Riessen, who NYT falsely presents as a regular voter because they love Republicans & want them to win, is president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association (has donated exclusively to Republicans since 2024) and Corn Sector Director at the US Grains & Bioproducts Council
The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.
Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.
Republican campaigns and political action committees have spent nearly $3 million at President Trump’s businesses since he returned to office. And spending at Mar-a-Lago has tripled compared to Trump's first term. This is clear profiteering.
Trump’s D.C. hotel is gone. Republicans still pay millions to his businesses.
Republican campaigns, party committees and PACs have spent nearly $3 million at Trump businesses since his return to office, a Post analysis finds.
