New in PN: @sulliview.bsky.social on how the media normalizes Trump "It produces a false equivalency that tries to equalize Trump with all of the dangers he brings to democracy and Biden as a traditional pro-democracy candidate. But these things really aren’t equal."

Good point/question. Many fire scientists, including me, would argue that rx fire and other fuel treatments are not only designed to "stop fire" but also to reduce the harmful effects of subsequent fire. Rx fires are quite good at reducing the harmful effects of subsequent fire. See this paper 👇

In an effort to quell calls for him to quit the race, Biden sat for a network TV interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Friday night. Did it work?

1923: Hitler’s failed coup. No real consequences. No fundamental changes. 1933: Hitler takes power. Make no mistake, “Project 2025” is Trump’s art of “Mein Kampf”.
