Thousands of scientists issue bleak ‘second notice’ to humanity - The Washington Post

Thousands of scientists issue bleak ‘second notice’ to humanity - The Washington Post 

We have to take stock of where our hearts are, where our values are, and come together as a people -- as a species -- and agree upon working for our communal survival.

"In late 1992, 1,700 scientists from around the world issued a dire “warning to humanity.” They said humans had pushed Earth's ecosystems to their breaking point and were well on the way to ruining the planet."

“If not checked,” wrote the scientists, led by particle physicist and Union of Concerned Scientists co-founder Henry Kendall,
“many of our current practices put at serious risk the future that we
wish for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms, and may so
alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the
manner that we know.”

But things were only going to get worse.

To mark the letter's 25th anniversary, researchers have issued a bracing follow-up. In a communique published Monday in the journal BioScience,
more than 15,000 scientists from 184 countries assess the world's
latest responses to various environmental threats. Once again, they find
us sorely wanting.

“Humanity
has failed to make sufficient progress in generally solving these
foreseen environmental challenges, and alarmingly, most of them are
getting far worse,” they write.

Trump Jr. corresponded with WikiLeaks privately on Twitter | TheHill 

Holy shit! Complete evidence of back and forth collusion and cooperation between Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks, arms of Pro-Putin Pro-Russia internet subterfuge and hacking.

Just wow, this is big. What a #tool. #Traitor

"The WikiLeaks Twitter account sent a direct message to Trump Jr. in
late September 2016 alerting him that an anti-Trump site run by a
political action committee (PAC) was “about to launch.” The message
offered the password to the site.

"The PAC is a recycled pro-Iraq
war PAC. We have guessed the password. It is ‘putintrump.’ See ‘About’
for who is behind it. Any comments?" WikiLeaks wrote, as first reported by The Atlantic.

“Off
the record I don’t know who that is, but I’ll ask around,” Trump Jr.
responded to the account the following day. It is unclear if he followed
through with the offer."

Trump Jr. later confirmed the interactions on Twitter:

Just wow, this is big. What a #tool. #Traitor

Now it looks like this via Scott Dworkin:

"To recap Don Jr:

-Did business in Russia since 2005
-Conspired with Kremlin agents
-Conspired with Wikileaks
-Conspired with the campaign
-Spreads fake news
-Lied about all of this publicly
-Knew what he was doing was illegal
-Is a traitor
-Is terrible "

"Several Democratic U.S. senators began meeting last week with officials from other countries, seeking to minimize Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. Meanwhile, the governors of California, Virginia, Oregon and Washington — along with mayors from throughout the nation — were expected to touch off a blitz of public appearances at the conference as the meeting enters its final week."

“We are still in!”

Russia's Social Media Propaganda Was Hiding in Plain Sight

Russia's Social Media Propaganda Was Hiding in Plain Sight 

This is heartbreaking. Fraud on Twitter and Facebook for so long. Evil-doers like the Russians misled and lied and brutally hijacked our election, here and in other ways.

Infuriating and completely unacceptable.

"A common misconception about Donald Trump’s rise to
presidential power — as well as the role Russia-backed social media
allegedly played in getting him there — is that no one saw it coming. In
reality, scholars, activists, and regular social media users had warned
that platforms seemed to becoming weaponized for political purposes in a
way that felt new and dangerous. The hearings on Russian disinformation
over the past two days are a bitter coda to a symphony of discontent to
which tech gurus responded slowly.

They do not have that option anymore. But the bigger question is why they ever thought they did.

Since 2014....
