- Excited to see the data I crunched for @climateconnections.bsky.social was used in a Washington Post story on the same topic. It's jut wild that as data centers burn up more and more energy, their bills don't go up. But ours do. Key graphic below. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

- Reposted by Karin Kirk"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made
- I was alarmed when I saw this trend in electricity prices. I bet you will be too. Data centers are causing big increases in energy demand, but it's our bills that are rising the most. Seems unfair, eh? For @climateconnections.bsky.social #energysky yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/01/home...

- Reposted by Karin KirkCan't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

- Reposted by Karin KirkI wrote to my representatives @hirono.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social, and Ed Case to tell them to stop the dismantlement of NCAR. You can do the same with your representatives at this link.
- Reposted by Karin KirkBased on what I have been hearing about the NCAR situation, no one knew anything until the USA Today article came out. That means there isn’t much actual organization inside the administration to pull this off and a chance to fight back. Call your congresspeople today! Especially republicans.
- It was 30 degrees warmer than average here in MT over the weekend. Green grass everywhere. Not good.
