Standing with everyone in TN, AL, MS, LA, FL, SC, & others in the fight to protect voting rights in the wake of last week’s devastating decision. We know there are difficult days ahead, but we must continue to organize & fight back in the courts, our communities, our legislatures, & in Congress.

May they rot in hell. And the SCOTUS six.

Elon Musk's no-show for a French judicial summons did not slow the inquiry. Paris prosecutor's office confirmed on Thursday, May 7, that it had opened a criminal investigation on May 6 into the parent company of the social network X and its owner, Musk. www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/ar...

He should be tarred and feathered.

Fight those racist bastards

US wildfires have *doubled* the previous record for this time of year. We've already burned more land than in many full years this century

The federal government has turned over evidence from the shooting death of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross to a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court for Minnesota, according to an attorney involved in a case tangential to Ross. www.startribune.com/federal-gove...

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez won a historic sum of $375 million in a landmark child safety case against Meta earlier this year. The next stage of the fight begins today, and it could be even more consequential for Meta and the social media industry at large.

In 184 days we boot Donald Trump from power in the 2026 Midterm Elections!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Are you ready?

This is very much a real thing; even if a bunch of media outlets reported it quite sloppily and some of the numbers ended up needlessly overstated. If this was a normal industry it'd just be a fixable planning consideration. But tech is panic-building thousands so it's something bigger

Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, calling for an end to Israel’s wars. Protesters accused the government of relying on “brute force” and destruction.

May Day: There were huge anti Trump protests all across America. Did you hear about it in the corporate media?

This is what happens under fair maps—and why they gutted the Voting Rights Act. Get it? This is why generations marched, organized, and mobilized. And so must we. 📈

ICYMI: US Farm Bureau reports that 7/10 US farmers can’t afford all the fertilizer they need this year, and 6/10 report worsening finances. Hilarious until you realize they grow your food. Read closely. 73% of the guys making your oatmeal are in trouble. Veggies? 61% www.fb.org/market-intel...

Announced by climate envoy Benoît Faraco, the plan sets explicit end dates across the economy: end coal by 2030, oil by 2045, and gas by 2050. As should we all, before they end us.

In May 2024, Trump asked oil executives to raise $1 billion for his campaign. He said he’d give them everything they wanted.

The rest of the court needs to resign. Just like will happen in Hungary.

At the final plenary of the 1st fossil-fuel conf, the hosts have presented "three workstreams" These are: 🌎The development of national roadmaps away from fossil fuels 🌎Addressing "macroeconomic dependencies and financial architecture" 🌎Addressing "trade and investment balance for decarbonisation"

Yes, and. Iran did sign a non-nuclear deal. With Obama. It was working well. And Trump tore it up. And here we are.

This, but also, the next Democratic President elected should call for the immediate resignation of all 6 Republican members of this corrupt Supreme Court, just as happened in Hungary when Orban was defeated. They are illegitimate. Period.

High-level talks to accelerate the shift from fossil fuels got underway Tuesday in Colombia’s Caribbean city of Santa Marta, where President Gustavo Petro warned the world could “reach a point of no return” without the Amazon’s role in regulating the climate. apnews.com/article/colo...

The Santa Marta conference to transition AWAY from fossil fuels. It does not replace COPs, Durán says. "It's a process that aims to complement the climate COPs, a space where we can actually discuss fossil fuels..." she says. transitionawayconference.com

It's rare that you're at a conference where you hear a prominent CLIMATE SCIENTIST say he's "never felt so encouraged" ... ... but that's what's going on at the first international conference on the transition away from fossil fuels in Colombia🛢️🇨🇴🌍 Read + listen to our reporting on @npr.org 🎧📻⬇️

Gutting the VRA puts enormous pressure on Dems to redraw House maps wherever they can. Dems may be able to redraw maps by 2028 in 9 states targeting 19 seats currently held by the GOP. I'll share example maps below. Longer-term, a future Dem Congress & president MUST ban gerrymandering nationwide

This week, scientists & advocates are meeting in Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss how the world can transition away from fossil fuels, the primary source of the emissions driving global climate change. On her blog, Dr. Delta Merner outlines a roadmap to ensure this transition leaves no one behind.

The global conference to transition away from fossil fuels has begun in Santa Marta, Colombia. Best wishes to the brave conferees, unafraid of Big Oil. Kudos to @UCS.org for this great explainer.

At recent climate COPs, fossil fuel lobbying has prevented governments from even reaffirming commitments to transition away from fossil fuels. Frustration over failing to endorse this basic step has now led to a new @fossiltreaty.bsky.social conference that kicked off yesterday! More here ⬇️

Start the day with some perhaps under reported and excellent news: there is a conference taking place right now in Colombia with 60+ nations discussing **how to transition away from fossil fuels.** Unlike COP, fossil fuel companies are NOT invited. 🤞 transitionawayconference.com
