The Dirty Truth: new @sierraclub.org report shows utilities are backsliding on climate commitments. @jeffstjohn.bsky.social @canarymedia.com 1/

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Paul Noth, The New Yorker

She's rich, she's white, and she's saying whatever Trump wants her to say, so of course Jeffrey Epstein's procuress and co- conspirator in sex trafficking is enjoying cushy life in a "Club Fed".

Stop counting people going hungry, stop making companies report pollution, fire officials tracking unemployment stats -- I think I'm sensing a pattern here. www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

Old creation joke: what's holding up the Trump Admin. It's corruption, all the way down.

Good feature in @nytimes.com on Sun Day which is celebrating the promise of renewable energy. Nice to see @sierraclub.org Idaho's chapter director and Beyond Coal superstar Lane Boldman featured in the piece. Kudos to @billmckibben.bsky.social @jamiehenn.bsky.social & @thirdactorg.bsky.social

An antidote to despair and cynicism -- academics studying countries facing autocratic takeovers document that more than half of these episodes lead to "U-turns" and more than 90% result in strengthened democracies. Up to us to make it so! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Horrific story of a Seattle-based trans woman falsely accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, which led to a flood of doxxing and threats on social media. Take a breath, people! www.kuow.org/stories/cons...

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Here comes the sun. China leading global boom in solar energy, with more capacity installed in first half of this year than in all of 2021 and 2022 combined. @canarymedia.com @danmccarthy.bsky.social www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Brilliant

What Jimmy Kimmel actually said about the Charlie Kirk assassination. And this gets you fired?

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Outstanding @waytowinus.bsky.social podcast conversation with @ronbrownstein.bsky.social. @torygavito.bsky.social @jenancona.bsky.social Important to remember that the Admin's current rush to crush dissent is a sign of weakness, not strength. www.buzzsprout.com/2415376/epis...

Great news for clean, reliable, and affordable energy! California just passed Assembly Bill 825, which transfers oversight of a large Western-based energy market to a new, independent organization governed solely by Western interests. Our statement: nwenergy.org/news/press-r...

"So You Want to Be a Dissident." An article with advice for folks who want to challenge our headlong rush towards authoritarian rule that was published in the @newyorker.com earlier this year is more timely than ever. www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...

Be there!

Like Orwell's totalitarian state in 1984, MAGA wants us to accept that 2 + 2 = 5. We cannot allow ourselves, as too many Dems and liberal pundits have been, to accept this nightmare world. Two plus two make four. It's important that we stand up and say so. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/magas-mand...

Credit where credit is due: @sammyroth.bsky.social has been critical of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social climate record, but thanks him for his role securing some major wins for climate and clean energy in the California legislature.

RIP Robert Redford. Remembering him with this opinion piece he published in 2016 about the Supreme Court and climate, which asked: "I cringe at how we will have to answer to history" when it became clear that the climate crisis is real and our children ask why we didn't do more.

Many pension funds and financial firms are making public commitments to support climate solutions, but these need to be backed up with action and transparency. Report with new guidance from @sierraclub.org www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

The authoritarian takeover is happening ahead of schedule. @davekarpf.bsky.social davekarpf.substack.com/p/the-author...

Outrageous. US Taxpayers send fossil fuel companies nearly $35 billion a year in subsidies, helping fund the hundreds of millions these firms spend to rig our political system, undermine climate science and action, and prevent pollution regulation. @oilchange.bsky.social @collinrees.bsky.social

An ugly truth about the "Big Beautiful Bill": rural communities are losing critical medical services. @investigatewest.bsky.social has a good story on one Oregon town losing its maternity ward. www.investigatewest.org/rural-oregon...

Worst bribery scandal since Teapot Dome?!? I think that the UAE cypto for computer chips scam leaves Teapot Dome, Agnew taking bags of cash in the White House and other historical scandals in the dust. @timothynoah.bsky.social @newrepublic.com 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2005...

We have commentators and journalists fired for quoting Charlie Kirk's own words, and this Fox News anchor calls for euthanizing homeless people and its met by a collective shrug.

When John Yoo, the so-called "Torture Lawyer" who drafted memos justifying water boarding and other extreme measure during the Iraq war, says you've gone too far, you've definitely gone too far.

Trump continues to follow the Putin playbook for an economy controlled by oligarchs who owe him fealty

Excited to join the Board of the Way to Win Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) that supports advocacy, organizing, and media interventions in critical states. With a full-scale fascist attack on progressive orgs and donors under way, we need groups like @waytowinus.bsky.social more than ever. waytowin.us

Outlook surprisingly sunny for solar power. Despite policy assaults from the Trump Admin, booming demand for electricity boosts prospects. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Q: When does the Trump family actually support wind power? A: When it provides the lowest cost energy to power one of Don Jr and Eric's crypto scams. Great reporting from @motherjones.com @russchoma.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In advance of Sun Day, Fossil Free Media is releasing a documentary called "The Light Won't Dim" on the incredible advances in solar technology and how it is transforming communities across the US. Check it out! @jamiehenn.bsky.social @billmckibben.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDK-...

We don't know what motivated Charlie Kirk's assassin, a white Mormon from a conservative family. But while conservatives are trying to paint him as an Antifa warrior, it seems at least equally likely he was a Groyper who hated Kirk as insufficiently right-wing. @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social

Just gonna pretend the flags at half mast are for Robert Redford

Time to stand up and be counted. Trump, Miller, Loomer, and allies are clear that they intend to use this moment to suppress all dissent and destroy and defund any groups that promote views that are contrary to their white supremacist, authoritarian vision.

Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to -17 in our tracker, the worst of his second term www.economist.com/interactive/...

This is a critical question. Agreeing to some kind of deal on economic issues while the White House & allies are explicitly threatening to burn down the pillars of our democracy would be a huge mistake

This is a critical moment in American history, with Trump, Vance, Miller & crew implementing the authoritarian playbook and threatening to investigate and shut down groups that support progressive causes. Time for everyone who cares about a functioning democracy to step up! @insidephilanthropy.com

I condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, but there is no reason to eulogize him. Here is a sampling of his own words on the climate crisis, gun violence, non-white politicians, and immigrants. @climatebrad.hillheat.com hillheat.news/p/complete-g...

Good from Noah Smith @noahpinion.blog.web.brid.gy on China's leadership on renewable energy and clean technologies which is leading to major reductions in its own climate pollution and spurring similar moves around the world. www.noahpinion.blog/p/china-is-q...

Good analysis on the strategies that Democrats need to take to win back missing voters for the midterms and beyond. @ronbrownstein.bsky.social @torygavito.bsky.social @waytowinus.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power. Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

If you stop collecting information on a problem, that problem just goes away .... right?

I'm old enough to remember the conservative freak out over "death panels." Now we just let Grok decide who gets life-saving treatment or medication.

So early comments by “Administration sources” claimed the Kirk shooter was a left wing trans activist. And Trump/MAGA have been blaming the “radical left” from the 1st second. Now appears he’s a white mormon right-wing homophobic gun rights supporting Trump supporter who recently didn’t like Kirk.

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

Some good news: Washington State's latest auction of carbon allowances under the Climate Commitment Act netted nearly $300 million for projects that will promote clean air and healthy communities. @cleanandprosperous.bsky.social www.cleanprosperousinstitute.org/2025/09/10/c...
