Nothing critical to survival should be for profit. Not food, energy, health, first responders, education.

Patriotism is wanting your country to be the best in the world.

Nationalism is pretending that it already is.

If you think America is the greatest country in the world, you're hopelessly brainwashed.

We need a LOT of work to catch up in several ways to other nations. And we'll never do it under Pedo Trump.

There is a hidden underground ecosystem of bacteria, tardigrades, worms, and newly discovered fungi hundreds of feet below the Great Lakes region. Some of these fungi break down ancient carbon and may play a bigger role in the carbon cycle than previously thought! 🧪

In June 1966, scientist James Lovelock warned Shell in a confidential memo of “the almost certain fact that the climate is worsening and the probability that the combustion of fuel is responsible.”

Shell would later become "a founding member of the denialist Global Climate Coalition." 😑

Back when Skylab was falling to Earth in 1979, I was predicting there may come a time there would be so many satellites in orbit, then dropping, a special daily forecast would be required. 🔭 🧪

Into orbit doesn't mean safely away

In a Behind the Paper post, Loekie Schreefel writes how farmers' questions led his research team to map how knowledge on regenerative practices spreads among regenerative farmers. The findings were published in Communications Earth & Environment. #Academicsky #plantscience 🌎🧪
Farmers’ questions changed my research agenda: the case of knowledge sources in regenerative agriculture
Farmers’ questions led us to map how knowledge on regenerative practices spreads among regenerative farmers. We found that international sources mainly shape guiding principles, while local actors adapt these ideas into practices suited to specific farm contexts and conditions.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

The leading authority and viruses, which is why Trump brought him in. But Fauci refused to lie to the public for Trump and Trump turned on him. That’s what happened. The reason we had such high death count is because half the country refused to wear a mask because of Trump.

"The very existence of Rep. Rulli and Rep. Emmer – as Italian-American and German-American members of Congress – proves that the arguments of nativists are bankrupt to the core."
In recent weeks, congressmen like Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) have leveled racist attacks against immigrant communities in their districts.

As I note in CAMPAIGN TRAILS, a century ago those same racist attacks were being made against people named Emmer and Rulli.
