After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 24, 2026

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

trying to remember people are working to stop this everywhere

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

Un homme est mort samedi à la suite de tirs par des agents fédéraux à Minneapolis, ont rapporté plusieurs médias américains, deux semaines après qu'un agent de la police de l'immigration (ICE) a tué par balle une Américaine dans cette même ville du nord du pays.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Finished my second puzzle for my puzzle-a-thon supporting @cclusa.org! This one turned out to be missing 3 pieces (it’s from the library, so that happens sometimes!) That brings my official piece count so far to 997 🧩 Follow along on my puzzle page: charity.pledgeit.org/2025YEF/@Fla...

First 500 pieces complete for my @cclusa.org puzzle-a-thon! Thanks to my lovely friends, family members and colleagues who have pledged: charity.pledgeit.org/2025YEF/@Fla... Every donation helps train and organize everyday people to lobby Congress for climate action.

The climate crisis won’t wait and neither will we. With this team, we’ll meet it head-on.

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead. The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

The speed with which salmon have returned to the Klamath - like the Elwha - after dam removal is overwhelmingly hopeful. And in both cases thanks to decades of tireless advocacy by local Tribes.

🏆 Victory! Alicia Johnson just brought home the win for clean energy and lower costs. Let’s keep building a brighter future at the Georgia PSC! 🌞

Proud to have voted early for him and Alicia Johnson! Let’s goooo clean energy advocates!!

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia. That seems...significant.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Hanging onto every bit of good news The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing. This most powerful story of Indigenous-led #rewilding after the largest dam removal in US history keeps getting better. lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/oct/9/o...

Oh: - The US sold $80 billion in oil and gas abroad through July. - China exported $120 billion in green technology over the same period. By @akshatrathi.bsky.social 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It’s possible to make things better! (A hopeful reminder that I need frequently.)

An energy revolution is underway in this century, though it’s unfolded in ways slow enough and technical enough for most people not to notice (and I assume it’s nowhere near finished). It is astonishing – a powerful solution to the climate crisis... [Wrote it a while ago; came out yesterday.]

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?

This is twice as money much as the Department of Energy spends on solar power R&D. We could have more solar power but instead we’re paying to build detention camps.

The rest of the world will learn an important lesson from China. Build out your renewables so you aren't as dependent on imported fossil fuels and the whims of idiots. "China’s imports of three major energy products from the US hit almost zero in June"

🇨🇳 China installed 464 GW of solar capacity in the 12 months to June☀️ That's more than the total EU solar capacity as of 2024 (338 GW) and DOUBLE the total US solar capacity (229 GW). ...in just 12 months

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing. Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.

Paris urban biking DOUBLED in just one year. “Cycling in Paris has transcended mere trendiness; it’s become a fundamental aspect of the city’s identity. Despite challenges like inclement weather, cyclists continue to flock to the streets, setting new records and reshaping the urban landscape.”

“Vaulted Deep operates like a reverse oil company.” More of this, please 🙌🏻 techcrunch.com/2025/07/17/m...

oh

"As temperatures across New England soared above 100℉ in recent weeks, solar panels and batteries helped keep air conditioners running while reducing fossil-fuel generation and likely saving consumers more than $20 million." www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

This post doing numbers is itself a perfect illustration of why example-setting by celebrities is a massive deal when it comes to mainstreaming climate. Visibility is the name of the game!

We should be putting a gargantuan amount of money into solar and storage. War economy levels. It should be free to have a guy from the government solar your house up. Electricity should basically cost nothing.

moood. but yet we persist

Avant / Après Rue du Cardinal Mercier dans le 9ème arrondissement de Paris juste après la fin des travaux début 2024 + le même endroit maintenant. Pour voir l’effet des changements mis en valeur, il faut être patient mais pas tant que ça ;)

Down with AI, up with AC

If Russia India and the United States were building solar at the same rate as China the renewable energy transition would be over in no time. Unfortunately three of these countries are easily controlled by the interests of fossil fuel capitalists

Maybe this is just rage bait at this point, but I find it Interesting that heating uses 4x the energy globally as cooling does, but authors of AC-shaming articles like this never call for people to just “tough it out” through the winter without heating their homes 🤔

An example of why when ppl ask me how I feel about about our climate future I say that despite despair over the climate impacts we are already seeing I am more optimistic than I’ve ever been that we are making progress.

Transit ridership in major French urban areas is now substantially higher than it was in 2015—while in the US, it's still way down. No major US urban area has higher per-capita ridership than it had a decade ago. On this metric, the US is headed in the wrong direction. www.urban.org/urban-wire/t...

🌡️ June 2025 was the 3rd warmest June globally 🥵 June 2025 saw an exceptional #heatwave impact large parts of western Europe 🌊 This heatwave was made more intense by record ocean temperatures. #climate change means heatwaves are: 🌞more frequent, 📈 more intense & 🌍 impact more people 🧪⚒️
