As JD Vance and his son in law are engaged in talks with the Iranians which violate the explicit terms of the MoU and indicate his intention not to honor it. Vance apparently told the Iranians to ignore Trump's statements which were geared to appeasing his MAGA base.

Air Bribe One is revealed, and it’s as tacky and wasteful and almost certainly bugged by the Qataris as expected

Trump fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. The letters read, “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I’m writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately.”

Kudos to the Obama Foundation, B-Tomorrow Ventures, Total Energies, and Kenya's National Innovation Agency for funding Joseph Nguthiru and HyaPak. Petroleum had an 80-year head start. Backing the alternatives is how that gap closes. We need more of this #GOODNEWS help our planet recover. /3

Joseph Nguthiru. Founder of HyaPak, based at Egerton University in Nakuru, Kenya. His team turns water hyacinth — the invasive weed choking Lake Naivasha — into 100% biodegradable seedling bags that decompose in six months. One environmental crisis solving another. Cradle-to-cradle. /2

And how, if it weren't for #legitimized #corruption the insurance industry wouldn't be defining our laws, we'd have had universal healthcare in the fucking 1970s, and oil & gas wouldn't have spent 60 years burying federal climate research. 1/3

Yeah. If it weren’t for people…

The federal record on climate is brutal. 1965: LBJ's Science Advisory warns CO2 from fossil fuels is altering Earth. 1979: National Academy of Sciences confirms it. Exxon's own scientists confirmed it the same year. Then 60 years of PR warfare against the grounded truth. 2/3

It is what regulatory capture looks like at scale. The deeper architecture is #electoral i.e. a system that favors those who promote policy designed to sustain a distorted power structure; one where corrupt mechanisms persist by design. Climate. Healthcare and Liability are all symptoms. 3/3

@radiofreetom.bsky.social i got a dear abbey question for you tom. what would you say should be done if you cross paths with a naval academy graduate who entered into a private and confidential text conversation and then spilled the beans in a grossly dishonorable way. is there an alumni code?

When people are working constantly just to stay afloat, they have less time for family, community, civic life, creative thought and being well. That's not just a financial problem, it's a structural one that shapes who we become as individuals, and as a culture, the longer it goes on.
