What NYC Mayor Mamdani just did for 9/11 first responders & residents living/working in the area where the twin towers fell is more than any single politician has ever done to help them. In revealing the conspiracy to cover up the health dangers, lie to residents, & deny health coverage to first responders, he's now enabled tens of thousands of people to get access to the resources they should have had 25 years ago. cnn.com/2026/09/08/us/…

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Eugene Robinson is a writer, punk rocker, dad/granddad, thinker and deep-laugher, totally one of a kind and just had a bad stroke in Spain. If you know him — or want to get to know him, which you will once you hear more about him — please pitch in. gofund.me/5f5385837

Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre. Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement. Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire. Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas. Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé. Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin. La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher. Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés. Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse. Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage. 💔🌍

Denmark, particularly in Copenhagen, has installed floating platforms/islands planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in its harbors and canals. These create safe urban habitats and sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life.

@cyanidetooth Oh no… an American genius. Heal up, Eugene!

When I lived in Montreal, a friend told me the craziest thing. He had discovered a bat sleeping in his closet. I marched him straight to the hospital to get rabies shots, and they gave it immediately. Even if you're not sure if you got bitten or scratched, any contact with them needs to be evaluated. Once you develop symptoms, death is almost certain. Early vaccination will save your life.

This 91 year old woman in El Salvador started school for the first time, inspiring everyone that learning has no age limit.

Clean water. Clean food. Clean air. I'm leading one of four Performer teams for the @ARPA_H BREATHE program. We're building a system that ensures clean air in buildings. We're demonstrating this in child care centers to improve health for kids and their families.

Would you knowingly drink a glass of water filled with dangerous pathogens, bacteria, and pollutants? More than a century ago, water treatment and sewer systems transformed public health and saved countless lives. But we still have not done the same for the indoor air we

South Bay San Diego communities have been desperately begging for help for years. They are being poisoned. The crisis is escalating--see figure below using our @airborne_ucsd public data. Our data keep proving these communities deserve protection NOW. Worst night since 2024 happened on April 21 — 83% of nighttime hours above California's own H₂S standard. 4,494 ppb spikes while children sleep. At least 4× the standard every single night in April. Twelve schools within 1.5 miles. Zero protection. Kids are often forced to stay inside. @GovPressOffice @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom has refused every single invitation to visit the river hotspot where this is happening. He has refused repeatedly to act. Would he still be waiting if this community weren't 97% low-income and Hispanic? Using the poor excuse that the original source is international speaks volumes about who he supports--and shows a complete lack of empathy for his own residents in California. Newsom wants to become our next President--why? So he can continue these injustices across the US at a time when we need everyone supported more than ever before??? I will be joining @joemoeller44 @NEWSMAX tomorrow to talk about exactly this.

Someone juat asked why @apnews didn't mention Newsom as the leader allowing this disaster to continue. Its because I became more vocal AFTER @apnews interviewed me. @gavinnewsom is FIRST CA governor refusing to request federal state of emergency while residents breathe higg levels of toxic H₂S and airborne pathogens. His excuse? "International". Air pollution IS emergency grounds. How can he seek POTUS when his choice of who he feels is worth protecting depends on zip code?

For decades, billions of gallons of sewage and industrial waste have been dumped into the Tijuana River. Recent research shows this chronically contaminated watershed in Southern California is also polluting the air.

Bill Gates is very interested in your water... While no one was watching...Bill Gates, BlackRock & Nestlé have quietly teamed up. - Gates is buying up huge tracts of farmland sitting directly over major aquifers (giving him control of groundwater). - BlackRock is pouring billions into water infrastructure, utilities & water-related investments. - Nestlé is extracting millions of gallons from drought-stricken areas to bottle & sell for profit. - Their former CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe said, "water is NOT a human right." Control the water → control the people. 💧 This is about ownership of the most essential resource on Earth.

Back in 2003, a German film crew filming in the Gobi Desert captured an incredibly moving moment: after a tough two-day birth, a mother camel rejected her newborn. A nomadic family then performed the ancient Hoos singing ritual passed down for generations. Once the song ended, the camel shed tears and finally accepted her baby. This powerful scene became one of the most memorable parts of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Story of the Weeping Camel.
