United has canceled 35 round trips out of EWR starting this weekend after FAA fails to agree to limit traffic to what the airport can handle and air traffic controllers left their posts amid radar problems.
Uh, yikes.

I have lived most of my adult life through neoliberalism and various republican administrations (Reagan, the two Bushes, Trump), aided and abetted by McConnell in the senate; and I have seen the damage and emiseration resulting from all of this.

After-action report: Devon PA #TeslaTakedown protest:
- About 100 people today
- The shopping center where we'd been parking said they'd tow our cars if we continued, so we found spots on the street. However, an office building nearly across the street from Tesla had someone come over and offer parking. So, next time ....
- We beat the rain, which isn't expected until 2:00 pm local.
- Seemed to be a little more anger from the drivers today. I don't really know why, but my guess is that as it's becoming clearer what a disaster this administration is, it's easier to blame protesters that face it. One fellow in a white van trawled by in the turning lane and pointed to each of us in turn, yelling "You're a cunt! Fuck you!" and moving on the next. 🤷♀️ "You're breaking my heart!" I called back.

I’m not a big fan of Ezra Klein nor of Tom Friedman, but this is a really, really good analysis of Trump, Tariffs and the global economy.

- Don't buy what they sell.

@kathhayhoe Dr. Hayhoe, how about adding a brief explanation of how the CO2 molecule produces the warming effect? (Absorbs infrared, unlike other molecules that are transparent to it, but then re-radiates it.) Or did I get that wrong?

I've re-written, expanded, and updated my iconic 2018 Twitter thread explaining how we know without a shadow of a doubt that humans are causing climate change.

TIL that antifascist historian George Rawick, during a period of low cash flow, decided to stop paying his phone bill reasoning that the #FBI could not stand to lose the opportunity to tap his calls and that they would make sure his service would continue.
His service continued after he stopped paying.

It's exhausting watching people who think things are only now bad.
When the government cannot or will not respond to big, obvious problems like a pandemic or mass shootings or climate change except with hollow rhetoric and security theater, because to do so would cross so many entrenched interests, you are already living in failed state.
