According to scientists at Mauna Loa this week, the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere last month hit a record high of 413.5 parts per million. grist.org/article/hate-t…

But meanwhile, in far more significant news: ⬇️
It’s like the Normans are coming over the Channel—but rather than addressing or much bothering with that, the news is about King Harold saying William the Conqueror has a booger hanging from his nose.
DEVELOPING STORY: Trump has a new nickname for Pete Buttigieg: ‘Alfred E. Neuman.’
This right here, folks, is a glimpse at why Jamison Foser is my anger-translating Luther.
Yep, this is correct.

Yeah: this is important, and Democrats need to factor this risk in s they decide how to respond to the administration’s stonewalling.
I have problems with how the New York Times chose to frame the story—but I thank it for bringing it forward. We need to take stock of what the president’s people might do. nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
“Stop using the criminal justice process as a political weapon,” says the attorney general as the president’s consigliere looks for means of making the criminal justice process a political weapon on his patron’s behalf. foxnews.com/politics/barr-…

Last RT (quoted below): in how many areas of law, now, have conservatives — either in the judiciary or the more openly political branches — shut down enforcement?
For starters, campaign finance … vox.com/mischiefs-of-f…

A brilliantly made point: “if House Democrats [believe the GOP] is so corrupt [that] it isn’t even worth trying to uphold their constitutional responsibility to impeach a lawless president, then they need to acknowledge the radical implications.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
I've talked of congressional Democrats as "norms preservers" before, and that's a phenomenon that really needs picking apart right now.
It's true that we have norms of bipartisan cooperation — of attempting to keep up at least a façade of civility in politics. Great.

But if members of Congress give those norms precedence over the rule of law, then they can't claim they're 'preserving' much of anything.

Last month I talked with @alibreland from @MotherJones about how platforms are driving hate and harassment, how sunlight isn't the best disinfectant, and why deplatforming and regulation are needed. I believe it even more after recent terrorist acts motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

1. Should you trust what Climate 'Scientists' and the Media say about Climate Change?
2. Do we REALLY have 12-years left to avert global climate catastrophe?
3. Should we be instilling fear into our children that the planet is doomed?

For a better sense of what Beto brings to the table, we’ll leave you with two things. First, the former representative of El Paso said last month, “Absolutely, I’d take the wall down.” What a contrast with President Trump that would be.
Far more alarming, however, is O'Rourke’s contemptuous view of the Constitution. “I think that’s the question of the moment: Does this still work?” he said of the Constitution.

In 2012, Tim Cook announced Apple would make a Mac computer in the US.

But when Apple began making the $3000 computer in Texas, it struggled to find enough screws. By the time the computer was ready for mass production, Apple had ordered screws from China nyti.ms/2HBT2QK
Apple CEO Tim Cook: “The skill here is just incredible. In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields.” (h/t @scottlincicome)
"Caterpillar said costs tied to new US tariffs on foreign goods, including steel and aluminum, were just above $100 million over the 5 months of 2018 that they were in effect.

The company expects more than $200 million in tariff-related costs this year." wsj.com/articles/cater…

Creator God,
breath and source of life,
in love you called the world into being
and in grace you made us and call us your children.
We stand in awe of the wonder of your creation:
its beauty and wildness;
complexity and power;
resilience and fragility. 1/
God of life,
you call us to be participants in the web and wellspring of life:
to be nurtured by the planet;
to be nurturing of the planet;
to cherish the world and all that lives.
But we have failed and creation groans under our weight.

2/
