We have known the photographs of prisoners from Dachau, Buchenwald, Auschwitz, and Birkenau since childhood. These photos are from 2026. They show Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russian camps.

If you’re struggling to put food on the table or buy gas for your car, remember, these insanely affluent assholes have increased their collective wealth by $1.5 trillion dollars under Trump’s “presidency.”

Update: Hurricane Polo has reached T 8.0 📈 If there will ever be a Category 7 hurricane, then we're looking at it right now. Folks, this "climate fueled" El Niño is starting to alarm people.

This is also 25th Amendment stuff. Extremely disturbing.

Russia killed seven people in Kyiv today. Moving around the city has turned into a deadly game of hiding from drones. You drive, walk, go to work and suddenly you’re running for cover. I know this won’t be heard, but I want to leave it here anyway.

Shortly after the end of the last great ice age — 10,000 years ago — 57% of the world’s habitable land was covered by forest. That’s 6 billion hectares. Today, only 4 billion hectares are left. The world has lost one-third of its forests, an area twice the size of the United States. Only 10% of this was lost in the first half of this period, until 5,000 years ago. The turn of the 20th century is when global forest loss reached the halfway point: half of total forest loss occurred from 8,000 BCE to 1900; the other half occurred in the last century alone. Deforestation is not a new problem: relatively small populations of the past were capable of driving a large amount of forest loss. But deforestation accelerated over the last century, driven by the continued expansion of land for agriculture. Urban land accounts for just 1% of global habitable land. The world passed “peak deforestation” in the 1980s, and it has been on the decline since then. Improvements in crop yields mean the per capita demand for agricultural land continues to fall. Since 1961, the amount of land we use for agriculture has increased by only 7%. Meanwhile, the global population has more than doubled, from 3.1 to 8 billion. This means that agricultural land per person has more than halved. There are real reasons to believe that this century doesn’t have to replicate the destruction of the last one.

Hey, Truckers! -- Remember when diesel was so cheap under President Biden that you would caravan to DC,... waving your stupid Trump banners? How's that working out for you? 😛

Tree bark is secretly eating methane. Scientists discovered that the world’s forests absorb 25–50 million tons of atmospheric methane every year through their bark. Trees just got 7–12% better for the climate than we thought. Nature’s been quietly saving us this whole time.

Jake Tapper: Trump's advisors are reportedly urging him to declare martial law before the midterms

Oceans set an all-time record! 75 nations set record highs in August. I am an optimist that the clean energy transition will largely displace fossil fuels, but a pessimist that it will do so fast enough to eliminate risks of dangerous climate impacts from burning fossil fuels.

America lost one in six of its neighborhood bars in a single decade, and the killer was real estate math. A bar like this can pour $3 beers because the building was paid off decades ago. The owner often lives upstairs. No rent, no investors, no debt service on a Pabst sign that's been hanging there for 40 years. The moment that building sells, the math dies with it. A new operator inherits a market-rate lease, which forces $9 drinks, which forces a renovation to justify $9 drinks, which produces another exposed-brick cocktail bar where the dive used to be. The Midwest kept its dive bars because of how they got built in the first place. Before Prohibition, Milwaukee's breweries put up corner taverns themselves. Pabst and Schlitz wanted guaranteed outlets for their beer, so they built bars directly into residential blocks. That's why these places sit on quiet snowy corners between houses instead of on commercial strips where rent explodes. Chicago had around 3,300 tavern licenses in 1990. It's down to about 1,200. At the worst of the decline, America was losing six neighborhood bars a day. And every single closure is permanent. You can't build a dive bar. You can only inherit one.

Republicans during the obama era

Two record years back to back, and still our response lags behind. The technology to bend this curve exists. What's missing isn't solutions, it's urgency.

Asking farmers and ranchers a very important question that is not “who did you vote for?” 🧑‍🌾

RFE/RL takes apart a Russian Geran-4 drone to uncover what makes the jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) faster, harder to intercept, and capable of operating deep inside Ukraine -- from its turbojet engine and advanced camera to foreign-made communications and navigation components. @cxemu @radiosvoboda
