Hurricane Melissa continues to set records, with the lowest barometric pressure ever observed this late in the season in the Atlantic, 906 millibars. The picture below is of its fearsome eye yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/10/jama...

Parts of Jamaica may see more than 30 inches of rain from Hurricane Melissa This is the mark of an overheated earth, and the damage it causes will be terrifying. Please be prepared to help those providing aid

In the world where I spent most of my life, the president of the U.S. would be placing a friendly bet with the PM of Canada on the outcome of the World Series--a gallon of Tabasco against a gallon of maple syrup or some such Instead, Captain Poopjet is having a hissy www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

As is often the case, @joshtpm.bsky.social Josh Marshall has a very good point to make, this time about the need for people who have done well by our society to stand the heck up for it talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/fear-...

What if you powered data centers by installing heat pumps in homes? And a thousand other good ideas billmckibben.substack.com/p/beyond-the...

I think the 'King Trump defecates on America from his jet' video should be played and replayed at every opportunity, and in one Dem ad after another. I know MAGAcore thinks it's funny, but I think most other people are still, even at this late date, shocked by its crudity. It cuts through the noise

I'm not sure there's anyone in the world who knows more about the entire clean energy landscape than @solarchase.bsky.social Completely invaluable!

I should be used to it by now, but it's really weird to live in a country run by a gross pig

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

@billmckibben.bsky.social spoke at the Battle Green protest yesterday, and wrote this great piece for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Of the 2,500 No Kings gatherings across America, few were more saturated in American history—in flags and historical costumes—than the one on the Battle Green in Lexington, where the Minutemen fought another king 250 years ago.

Leave it to @billmckibben.bsky.social to inspire from the hallowed grounds of the original No Kings battle: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

You could plausibly say the No Kings movement started in Lexington in 1775, so it was a great pleasure to be on the Battle Green today with thousands upon thousands of good people unafraid of the fight ahead www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Possibly the day’s best sign

Always an extraordinary privilege to get to talk with @maddow.msnbc.com

Up early to drive to my hometown of Lexington MA (where the first No Kings day was arguably held in 1775). If you don't know where it's happening near you, here's the guide. Please turn out--this is one of those days that matter in American history www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=t...

Okay, @sammyroth.bsky.social is not to be missed!

A very wise activist! Straight out of the Otpor handbook! (And since it worked to take down Milosevic, that's a good sign)

One reasonable explanation for spending so much money on AI is that it's the vehicle for the last gasp of fossil fuel expansion billmckibben.substack.com/p/hey-grok-w...

Data centers are "shaping up to be the mother of all political issues...pretty much everyone pays electric rates, & under Trump they’re starting to skyrocket...he’s simultaneously accelerating demand w/ his support for data center buildout, & constricting supply by shutting down cheap solar & wind."

We're excited to announce that @billmckibben.bsky.social will be joining us at Oct. 18 in #Lexington, MA. Hope you do, too! #nokings #notyranny #resistance #democracy

America is in crisis. So it's a small relief that the rest of the world is actually getting remarkable stuff done with energy. We just passed a huge milestone globally! Now back to work on America. billmckibben.substack.com/p/something-...

Why are prominent Democratic politicians, celebrities, etc hosting a tour of Portland? When he says stupid stuff, we have to actively demonstrate that he is a fool, instead of just assuming everyone knows

"The sun delivers its energy for free & that's why solar is exciting in a political sense...think about how the geopolitics of Earth would have been over the past 100 yrs if oil had been of trivial value." - @billmckibben.bsky.social 💛☀️ #solar #listen: www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

It's not all positive (this IS 2025), but there's a tremendous amount of good news and useful information in @billmckibben.bsky.social's latest post.
