Have been cooking up something special with @megberkobien.bsky.social for @redemmas.org this spring: withfriends.co/event/275648...

The inequalities of our #NomadCentury are not inevitable. There’s a lot we could do to improve welfare everywhere

The financial industry is a major road block for climate change mitigation. Our research shows the beneficiaries of sticking with fossil capital: the super rich. Great to see our chart republished by the Balanced Economy Project! Link to full paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Say it with me: 90% of people alive today will be better off if we phase out fossil fuels. That’s what the economics actually shows.

Second man shares horrific story of being blinded by officers at anti-ICE rally in Santa Ana

Rethinking Schools published my article about pushing back on some of the arguments made by those seeking to rush AI tools into schools.

We have a really cool limited-edition reusable coffee mug in the store, and you should buy one if you like supporting radical bookstores: merch.redemmas.org/product/limi...

One thing many people will need to do is update their understanding of the electric utilities as tied, inextricably in their privately owned form, to the organized political interests of the fossil fuel industry. They are the last mile. We must take them over & cut the ties completely.

Meaningless

Here's a great project to get involved with in Baltimore!

my new book FIRESTORM is a love letter to my hometown, Los Angeles. the people, the places, the landscape. it may read like a sci-fi thriller, but it’s a very true minute-by-minute account of what it felt like to experience the fire of the future. a future that is here now.

Gas & electric bills are too damned high! Baltimore residents rebel against energy giant BGE & call for publicly owned utilities. My report on the new "Public Power" campaign is up @therealnews.com youtu.be/jQ-Sa2dK5EY?...

there’s a lot of not getting scared of crowd control shit in these clips

“Suddenly the power went out and I had a feeling something was going on. Then there was a huge boom, like you know something I'd never felt before,” says Venezuela Analysis journalist Ricardo Vaz. The latest episode of #UnderTheShadow podcast @undertheshadow.bsky.social

Trump has invaded #Venezuela. This is the 1st time the US has used its own military to invade a South American country. President Trump made the purpose of the invasion very clear on Saturday: oil. The result will be disastrous. My latest @therealnews.com

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Residents of Baltimore & local organizers gather in front of City Hall to protest the Trump regime's lawless military invasion of Venezuela & kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro & his wife Cilia Flores this morning. I'm on the ground for @therealnews.com

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

The US has been sanctioning and starving Venezuela for a decade, more recently committing wanton murder in the Caribbean. Trump has been open about wanting Venezuela's oil. The US does not care about the people of Venezuela. This is about domination and dispossession and oil.

I am reminded here to tap the sign encouraging you all to support independent, worker run, billionaire free newsrooms how and where you are able

On other good news...

I don't want to be yelled at today because I've already been yelled at this week on here so I'll just ignore all of the 'that's unconstitutional' remarks and go to bed. Solidarity with the people of Venezuela against US imperialism.

Ok wait we just hit this! Stretch goal…if we can raise another $2k by tomorrow we will add *two* new colors

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

Not a day too soon! “When live, conscious animals are placed into boiling water, they endure several minutes of excruciating pain. This is torture and completely avoidable. Humane alternatives, like electrical stunning, are readily available.”

If we can raise $1k in the next three days, we're going to get another drum for our risograph so we can give away free posters and zines printed with a color that's not just red or black (as much as we love red and black of course). Donate now: donorbox.org/red-emmas-2025

Petrostate politics. This is what happens when you embrace the "energy dominance" of fossil fuels. Remember, too, that the Abundance bros embraced Burgum. When Burgum was appointed, Yglesias said he was "a totally solid pick who'll do good things." And he wasn't alone.

The city of San Francisco has been offering PG&E a fair price to buy our grid back and run it as a public power utility. They refuse to sell, and tonight their ownership and management is why we're sitting in the dark.

“If we want to use [Direct Air Capture] to limit overall warming to 1.5C, while emitting enough to reach 2.5C, DAC would need to use something like 30% of all electricity consumed over the next 80 years.”

AI is destroying our future, part ten million. And all because it's a driver of economic growth, particularly for Americans invested in the stock market, while it makes everything more expensive, hotter, and shittier for everyone else.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, which means it’s only 6 more days until the 10th anniversary of Obama lifting the oil export ban to get more of that CO2 up there

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

Trump is a draft dodger who spent millions on a military parade for his birthday while slashing veteran healthcare. Veterans are mad about it. @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social reported in June on the fight to fix issues at the @deptvetaffairs.bsky.social

Hi hello the Venezuela stuff is entirely about oil, both in Venezuela and in Guyana (where Venezuela is laying claim to the oil in what is now Exxon’s largest oilfield, which Chevron has also bought into). It is the bidding of US oil majors and it’s not remotely subtle.

The Chief Advocacy Officer at the American Clean Power Association was formerly the Senior Vice President of Policy, Economics, and Regulatory Affairs at the American Petroleum Institute, and Executive Vice President of Government Affairs at America’s Natural Gas Alliance. No, really.

We're a co-op of working class trans reporters in a city that remains, despite the marketing, still a disaster zone in so many ways. Independent, hard-hitting local journalism is more important than ever. Please share and support this so we can keep doing it.

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

"In Baltimore’s majority-Black McElderry Park and Ellwood Park/Monument neighborhoods, owner-occupants made just 13 percent of purchases in 2022. In a majority-white neighborhood not far away, owner-occupants bought more than 80 percent of homes that same year"

Warning from German scientists that current observations of emissions and ocean temperatures make 3C of #globalheating by mid-century plausible. 3C of heating makes our current global society unlivable, by the way. Parts of Spain become the Sahara, eg. worldcrunch.com/focus/green-...

This is a cataclysmic collapse of a marine food web, caused in large part by commercial fishing. This needs to stop, and sardine populations around South Africa need a chance to recover.
