Infantino, hearing there might be another red card to make go away:

This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."

More cascading climate horrors, a/k/a compound disasters: a massive storm last night knocked power out for 163,000 people in New Jersey, just ahead of another 100-degree day www.nj.com/weather/2026...

A creedal nation can be good or bad at living up to the creed. It’s possible to succeed or fail. It faces meaningful tests. A nation of mere blood lacks any workable plan for self-improvement because purifying the blood doesn’t build; it only diminishes.

went to guitar center today to try out playing a fender bass VI. there was a young girl there playing seven nation army on bass with her mom, dad, and grandma just beaming at her. they ended up getting the bass for her and she seemed over the moon. gonna carry that sweet moment with me for a while.

2 absolute WHOPPER quotes from data centre developers #1 is from Digital Realty, a massive data centre developer Just....soak this one in. Absolutely stunning "This year was the worst winter in the history of my home state, Colorado. It breaks my heart and now I’m developing 10 gas plants"

This dude needs to spend a summer day in Seattle riding a bike and bar hopping. 100x the Buc-ee’s experience.

Pundits: "Don't talk about climate change, only talk about affordability." Actual voters: "Climate change is costing me money, I wish politicians would do more about it." @dataforprogress.org @cplusc.bsky.social www.dataforprogress.org/insights/202...

In addition to producing hazardous air pollution and endangering pets and wildlife, fireworks make the 4th of July the most common day for human-started wildfires in the US. The West is a tinderbox - maybe it’s time to consider alternatives without catastrophic consequences.

Rising cost of insuring against climate crisis will have wider knock-on effects for economy “not simply a sectoral issue, but a foundational concern for bankability, investability, and orderly economic activity”... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I am certain absolutely no money or stock was exchanged to facilitate this reversal

"I’m transitioning so I can join the girls’ basketball team and win everything. Yeah, it’s a totally normal thing for a straight guy with no gender dysphoria like me to do, that’s for sure."

"We’re going to see decisions that look more political, that look less expertly driven, and they probably will wax and wane with every new administration, which undermines stability,” @harvardeelp.bsky.social's @jodyfreeman.bsky.social told @zeitlin.bsky.social: heatmap.news/politics/sup... 🔌💡

This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.

Some context for considering impacts/responsibility for heatwaves this summer: a study last year by Chinese & Australian researchers found that heatwaves in 2023 resulted in 178,000 excess deaths. And more than half of those deaths -- 90,000 people! -- were attributed to human-caused climate change.

I'll have a live update on Mon, Jun 29 at 3pm PT on the severe and still-expanding wildfire outbreak across the interior West, including role of both long-term climate & short-term weather in driving extremely critical risk. Plus: live satellite imagery.

When Moody’s is posting trillion-dollar flood loss warnings, might it be time to start paying attention? Insurance markets are already staggering. Mortgage and real estate markets follow. The warnings are real and many.

AC saves lives, but it also increases risk of catastrophe if there's a blackout during a heatwave. One recent study projected that a three day blackout in Phoenix during a heatwave would send half the population of the city to hospital emergency rooms. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Heat-related deaths are also often undercounted, e.g., analysis of excess deaths during the 2021 PNW heat wave suggests three times more people were killed than were officially reported. Heat is so dangerous.

Federal disaster relief is itself becoming a slow-motion disaster thanks to Trump.

Industrial policy sometimes has "Governments picking winners." But it just as often has "Losers picking Governments" US AI companies losing to open-source Chinese AI companies are likely to go to US govt to create themselves a 'moat'

OPINION: (RNS) — Ordinary families are being asked to carry the costs of an energy system that enriches a few while leaving communities everywhere vulnerable to conflict, instability and rising prices.

Finally—we've been needing this investigation for a long time, and who better to do it than @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social? What happens if we stop baking carbon capture into our emissions reduction models and climate projections? Taking fossil fuel phaseout more seriously, I hope.

Look at the image, and then read the headline. There needs to be massive global reckoning within the entire media industry on why they're trying to promote deadly fossil-fuelled disasters as fun in the sun, good times had by all

The US missile strike on a school in Minab killed about half as many civilians (mostly children) as the My Lai massacre. Exposure of My Lai fueled the anti-Vietnam-war movement and led Congress to pass the War Powers Act of 1973, curtailing Presidents' legal authority to start wars.

135k+ signatures delivered. 🙌 Yesterday @govjayinslee.bsky.social and representatives from the nationwide "No Immunity for Big Oil" campaign delivered over 135k signatures to congressional leaders urging them to reject proposals to put Big Oil above the law. Thank you for making your voice heard!

democrats who don’t take loud and firm stances in favor of the regulation if AI and prediction markets are leaving votes on the table. also easy ways to demonstrate your independence from SV billionaires www.semafor.com/article/06/2...

Big Oil knew. Big Oil lied. Now Big Oil wants immunity. Ten governors and more than 135,000 Americans have a message for Congress: Absolutely not. Read the letter: https://bit.ly/4aBXPNt

This isn’t just a climate fight. It's a fight over whether our legal system exists to protect ordinary people—or to shield the most powerful corporations in the history of the world. If Big Oil is following the law, what does it have to fear in court? subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

NEW: States say NO IMMUNITY FOR BIG OIL 👏 The governors of IL, CA, CT, ME, MA, MN, NY, OR and WA are urging Congress to defend states' rights and reject Big Oil's immunity proposal. “No industry should receive a blanket exemption from accountability under the law," said @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

The viral fake quote attributed to Jeff Bezos got me thinking about how, in contrast to the fossil industry's disinfo campaigns, big tech is just destroying our shared reality from the inside out Inside media outlets, inside academia and yes, inside climate organisations and institutions as well ->

Know what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.

Currently dying at the fact that the Washington State Department of Health department issued a warning to all visiting the state that our weed is VERY strong & not to be taken lightly. Be safe out there visiting soccer fans! (credit to @pgcornwell.bsky.social for sharing this hilarious nugget first)

Thank a Minnesotan!

Insurers are taking record losses from worsening climate disasters. Why are they helping Big Oil escape accountability for fueling them? It's "a perplexing choice — until you think about why Big Insurance and Big Oil might be on the same team," writes @markgongloff.bsky.social. Accountability now!

This is climate change…and so is the fact that you’re seeing your home insurance go through the roof.

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change is driving up homeowners’ insurance costs.

Two thirds of Americans worry about climate change. Meanwhile, NPR and WaPo are cutting their climate coverage. And leading Dems are advocating silence on climate. 🤔 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

The Trump regime has paid $2.5 billion of our money to ensure that fossil fuel companies continue to profit off the destruction of our planet.

A little confused about the line among Dems that $300 bn for reconstruction is the thing to focus on. It’ll obviously be an unaccountable slush fund for Trump’s friends but does seem like the US should pay to rebuild a country it’s bombed for many months
