Yet again, Enbridge will pay police to protect an oil pipeline from peaceful protesters via an escrow account - this time in Wisconsin. Did elected officials learn nothing from Line 3 in Minnesota?

Superb—and *very* unsettling—roundup from @weatherwest.bsky.social. The imminent SW heat wave (likely the most intense for March on record) will involve similar dynamics to the June 2021 scorcher in the PacNW.

Previous wildfires, like the 2023 Maui fire, have shown that disaster recovery exacerbates existing inequities
A UCLA report on LA’s wildfire recovery, plus this story by @ninalakhani.bsky.social, inspired me to look for these patterns in LA:

Weather West update on a prolonged and very likely record-breaking March heatwave in the western U.S. that will begin Thursday in some areas & actually not reach its peak for another 7-10 days in some spots. This forecast is truly extraordinary for March.
