Replying to @TimothyDSnyder
Isn't the primary function of govt to protect the citizens. In a highly individualistic society (esp by conservatives), the main functions of govt are rendered impotent. The US is not fit for the challenges of the modern world. We face global challenges, Coperation is necessary.

From the same person who said that some of Epstein's were "barely illegal" (despite that they did not consent), so it did not count as pedophilia. Here she is excusing grape..

Time to impeach and convict the rapist.
It's the same story in the US as in India. They cry vote machines were hacked, elections rigged. But only when they lose. Never when they win. It's always an amazing win then. Now this guy is one step further than our guy. This guy claims vote rigging while he's in power!

I don't support Trump, but I will never denigrate his supporters. If you're a Trump supporter, "denigrate," means "to put down."

COPs are a circus 🤡🤡🤡🤡! Now the UN is pushing AI as a climate solution, while data centres guzzle energy and water, create noise pollution & put pressure on local communities. Climate action or just more greenwashing? Who’s buying this nonsense?

Agree with Bill. We are, right now, experiencing days over 2C warming, (with a developing El Niño). Warming has accelerated to 0.34C per decade. By 2040 we could experience economic collapse, having exceeded 2c on average. Tipping points will be reached, escalating damage.
“The widely publicised idea that we are still on track for 2.6-2.8C by the end of the century now seems wildly optimistic, if not downright impossible" My thoughts in today's @guardian Great piece by @damiengayle theguardian.com/environment/…

This person, so called educator is not just ignorant, she lacks critical thinking, intellectual humility. Reality, diversity improves performance (Judge & Robbins 2023). Right wing people score much higher in bigotry, are less curious, & not so bright (Onraet et al. 2015).
Diversity is NOT our Strength! Is my book - out next Thursday! Thanks to my followers who pointed out my silly mistake in forgetting the NOT! 😂😂 I am tired…

This ignoramus, who cals herself the UK's best educator, reasons that established research, must be 100% wrong. Just cos. This is insane reasoning. Actual intelligent people pay attention to the preponderance or weight of evidence. iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
You also have to love this deference to big institutions that are WRONG ABOUT SO MUCH!! Not that I have even commented on climate change. But Matthew dearest- learn to think critically - don’t accept everything they tell you. Learn to think for yourself. 👍

Absolutely beyond the pale inhumanity. Shame on Germany, Italy and others who block action against israel for this. – at Dublin City, Ireland
This weekend, a massive winter storm battered Gaza. Our teams report that thousands of tents were damaged or destroyed. Strong winds tore away makeshift shelters, while families waded through centimetres-deep floodwaters as rain soaked their few remaining belongings. People were left cold and wet, with nowhere else to go. This is the fourth winter that displaced Palestinians have been forced to endure these conditions. Nearly 13 months after the ceasefire agreement, 2.1 million Palestinians are confined to just 30% of Gaza. Nearly one million people are living in areas at medium to high risk of flooding. Yesterday’s storm exposed the consequences of years of restrictions and shortages. There is not enough heavy machinery in Gaza to prepare sites and mitigate flooding. Even the machinery that is available cannot operate properly because of shortages of engine oil. Those organisations who support with shelter are mobilising to deliver tents and essential household items to families who have lost what little they had. But there are not enough tents and supplies to meet the scale of the need, let alone replace those damaged by the storm. And tents and tarpaulins are not the answer to Gaza’s winter. They cannot withstand heavy rain and strong winds, and many are already worn out after months of use far beyond their intended lifespan. In August, the NRC-led Palestine Shelter Cluster reported that 1.98 million people – 94% of Gaza’s population – needed shelter assistance. Since then, only a fraction of the required supplies have entered, while severe funding gaps are forcing humanitarian agencies to do more with less. We must move beyond repeatedly replacing inadequate tents and scale up transitional shelters that offer families more durable protection. We urgently need heavy machinery, equipment and supplies to enter Gaza to support flood mitigation, clear rubble and prepare safer sites. Palestinians have the right to receive the assistance they need. States must press Israeli authorities to uphold their obligations and facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid and essential materials. Palestinians must not face another winter without adequate shelter. They cannot wait.

Every 10 years we live on a different, hotter, more unstable earth, and soon to be every 8 years.
Compare the global surface temperature anomaly for each day with the anomaly for that same day exactly 10 years earlier. Subtract to get the decadal gain for that day. Plot and draw a linear trendline (warming is accelerating). Current rate of warming ≈ 0.34°C/decade.

Today the Telegraph, like most media outlets, warned there's a risk the polar vortex will collapse at the earliest point since records began. The Telegraph goes further, warning of severe weather caused by the super El Niño, it also warns of the implications of the North Atlantic 'cold blob' and says a little about the devastation caused by AMOC collapse. But it reports all this without a word about climate change. The Telegraph warns its readers of unprecedented weather events but won't admit the policies it promotes are the cause of events that have the potential to destroy our food and water supplies. - Jonathan N Fuller on Facebook, follow him

10 years after nations agreed to limit warming to close to 1.5C, we have passed that, on the road to 2C, and it is still getting warmer.
Your 'moment of doom' for Nov. 7, 2026 ~ 1.15 million Hiroshimas per day. "A rising EEI indicates that heat is accumulating in Earth's climate system at an increasing rate (or, in other words, that global warming is accelerating)." wmo.int/resources/wmo-bullet…

Before we reach 2C warming on average, there will be many days near term where earth will be 2C+.
November 2 was 1.98°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. One more day?

A system that enables this to happen needs to be demolished.
Since Trump’s election: -Musk got $617 billion richer -Bezos got $144 billion richer -Page got $127 billion richer -Dell got $123 billion richer -Brin got $116 billion richer How are you doing? Let’s stop oligarchy. We must create an economy that works for all.

A country without legitimacy will not last long.
This photo was taken 26 years ago today, 14-year-old Faris Odeh throwing a stone at an Israeli tank in Gaza. Ten days later, he was shot in the neck by an Israeli soldier and left to bleed to death.

I apologize for not being on top of this landmark crossing, but the global sea-surface temperature is once again in "gobsmackingly bananas" territory. The Climate 8-Ball says: uncharted territory dead ahead!

Why eco overshoot will kill us, because of selfish nuts like this guy, who would rather steal water from people, so his bank balance can grow.
