A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Wildfires brought to you by the fossil fuel industry, a fact that seems to be missing from most media stories about the climate crisis. There is no debate about this in the climate science community. Journalists should inform people about the facts. www.un.org/en/climatech....

We are given only a limited number of truly perfect summer days in our time on Earth. One of the more insidious cruelties of fossil fuel greed is how it slowly strips those days from us, more and more throughout our lifetimes, perhaps without us even realizing what we have lost.

Truth Social will sell Wall Street firms quicker access to market-moving posts from Trump, the company said

Uh @bostonglobe.com your framing on this same topic is irresponsible and carrying water for a fascist government agency. Do you care to explain yourself?

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

Yesterday...Northwestern Ontario looked like a scene straight out of Dante’s Peak.

Jennifer Finch has given so much to music and to L7. Now she needs us. Her friends and family have launched a GoFundMe to help cover her care as she fights an aggressive brain cancer diagnosis. Every bit of support matters. zurl.co/sSUP1

An incredible euphemism here for “the government is doing illegal discrimination”

NEW: A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

Joan Sebastien Guerrero had a social security number. He had legal authorization to work here - therefore, he is by definition not “an illegal alien.” In addition, DHS isn’t even claiming he “weaponized his vehicle,” they’re arguing he fled. ICE is now straightforwardly admitting to murder.

The Portland Press Herald is reporting that Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition & Presente! Maine say the person who died in the shooting is a 26-year-old Colombian man authorized to work in the U.S. & had been issued a Social Security number. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Don’t look away from Memphis. Don’t look away from Houston. Don’t look away at the nationwide ICE surge. The trump administration is counting on you losing interest and falling for its tweak in tactics. zeteo.com/p/trumps-vio...

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

I'm old enough to remember when prominent evangelical leaders in this country claimed hurricanes are God's punishment for homosexuality, and Republican lawmakers declined to condemn those claims. I wonder what the National Mall being struck with a thunderstorm tonight means in their view.

There is a room with a TR avatar. There’s footage out there of Trump having this conversation with him as though he’s real.

Injustice is as American as cherry pie But the outrageous 30-to-100-year sentences for the Prairieland 9 anti-ICE protesters mark a new low in punishing Americans for their ideas Progressives get virtual life sentences. Right-wingers get pardons. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/prai...

Early contender for the best thing I’ll see on the internet today.

Now think about what this means if all federal grant making is under political control as per new OMB rule. Crony capitalism at its worst: do you want these people fixing your bridges, making sure your water supply is safe? @donmoyn.bsky.social

It is weird that Moulton’s social media account, which ostensibly is the online voice of Seth Moulton, talks about him in the 3rd person.

Scoop with @mercohn.bsky.social: Johns Hopkins University is laying off more than 100 employees in the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Carey Business School and central administration. Hopkins is suffering "debilitating" decreases in federal research funding www.thebanner.com/education/hi...

Nobody believed Trump and Vance that Iran was going to spend this money on US farm products. That was a line to assuage the cultists who were told by their hero for a decade that providing billions to Iran was weak and evil.

"The American people might as well be on the outer bounds of our galaxy for the time it takes critical information about our own welfare to reach us via the illustrious reporters of The New York Times."

Hunter Biden gives his thoughts on last night’s elections in NY. What do you think?

Two defendants who received 50 years each, Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, were never accused of helping plan the demonstration here. They arrived separately, left the protest when guards asked them to, and were not accused of any act of violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/prairie...

After spending $14 million in taxpayer funds, Trump's renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are peeling off and floating to the surface

I can’t recall who said it first, but the press covers Mamdani the way the Daily Bugle covers Spider-Man.

What kind of government do you call it where the leader decides to start a war without telling anyone or giving a reason why, immediately loses that war, lies and says he won it, and then negotiates a secret surrender where he pays the country he attacked 300 billion dollars? Is it a “democracy”?

1/ You've probably never heard of Jeffery Hildebrand. But this billionaire Trump donor is one of the oil industry's top polluters — and the poster boy for a huge climate problem that's actually relatively easy to fix... 🧵

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

In 2024, after the election, Mark Zuckerberg met with Stephen Miller to assure him that Meta/Facebook would cave to Miller's/Trump's wishes. Here they are hanging out at the White House UFC event. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-...

it's notable to me that the administration tried to frame tonight's UFC event as a "gift to Americans" but you can't watch it unless you have a paid subscription to Paramount+

Last time the Knicks were NBA champions was the year the DOJ charged Fred & Donald Trump with housing discrimination based on race.

SpaceX goes public today. There’s been a lot of chatter about the largest IPO in stock market history that will likely make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. Here's what I think you should know about it... 🧵
