Red Flag Alert - Anti-Trans Genocide in the USA - #3 | Lemkin Institute

The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

The total volume of the Grand Canyon is bigger than 10 Olympic swimming pools combined.

You know what the Strait of Hormuz DOESN’T cut off?

Wind turbines. UBI. public transit. Taxing billionaires and redistributing it to the regular people who created that wealth. Solar panels. A plant based diet. Bike lanes.

By the way, if someone is serving for the United States military, it is a bit old fashioned to say "thank you for your service", perhaps try instead: "you are a traitor to the human race."

Even after I spoke at a local @standupforscience.bsky.social event, people still came up to me and wanted to talk about woo woo stuff.

Painful indeed. But just another reason for all of society to move away from fossil fuels as rapidly as we can manage.

I don’t want a “clear mission”. I want an immediate end to war, impeachment of the president and war crimes tribunals for all involved.

Yes, we’re a normal country. Why do you ask?

We live in the greatest country in the world because you're FREE to say "fuck Trump" and they're FREE to rape and murder little children and you're FREE to protest by marching down approved streets at approved times and you're FREE to get shot anywhere and you're FREE to go to prison if you're poor.

Yet another good reason to electrify and reduce fossil fuel consumption.

I have to say that Hegseth does sound like many Americans. Not most of them. But many of them.

I just fired off a quick (non-expert!) paragraph on the Reflect Orbital calling out the unknown ozone and stratosphere warming/cooling risks.

Let’s make it hard to go to war. You and me and everyone we know.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

This is the case even in very liberal and progressive places as I learned living in Humboldt County, CA last year.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Excellent to have a bill on this, but what’s really needed is to end the existence of billionaires and the ultra-wealthy altogether.

We could simply eat them, but a good compromise would be to tax them out of existence.

Excuse me but we need those turbines to stave off a catastrophic planet-scale mass extinction from a permanently wrecked climate. K, thanks for understanding. Bye.

Well. Military service members have free will just like the rest of us. They could refuse illegal orders. Accepting the consequences like many of us are doing when we oppose fascism in the streets.

These are just fascist death squads. Just terrorist cells. Waging a dirty war on us.
