When Graham did his 180 on Trump in 2017, people kept asking me if he was blackmailed. The Lindsey Graham Lesson: 1) Politicians can be evil on their own. 2) Politicians can be blackmailed. 3) Evil politicians are easier to blackmail because they've done acts of evil they want to cover up.

Did you know most people get a lot more protein than they need?

Everybody, let's keep eyes on Memphis. Their occupation under ICE is flying too low under the national radar. ICE is actually killing people there & has the whole city under siege. And we're not seeing folks care about Memphis like other places.

Very arresting. 'AI increases the psychological and moral distance between those who exercise destructive power and those who bear its consequences... The core issue is the cognitive transformation that these technologies may induce in human decision-makers.' www.techpolicy.press/why-fear-mat...

The DAWN investigation just exposed AIPAC's "network of networks" for what it is: over 3,000 staff embedded across Congress, the Pentagon, and the White House. This isn't lobbying. This is Israel operating our foreign policy from the inside. We're not a partner, we're occupied!

Billionaires getting richer while the majority of people struggle to make rent isn't just "the way things are." It's a system they built. We can build something different.

Mothers. Fathers. Friends. Neighbors. All taken away by Trump's ICE.

ZELENSKYY: Today, Ukraine and Poland face one common threat, a deadly threat to our independence, to both our states and to every city and every village. That threat is Russia. As we speak about the past, we must not cast doubt on the future of Ukraine, Poland and all of Europe.

It's a global endeavour; backed by fossil fuels! It's the link that connects the Trumpists with Putin and the Gulf States. Wherever you find the far right, they're all, without exception, climate deniers looking to reverse emissions pledges. Tech bros and Crypto are newcomers..

I completely agree with you and a global alliance should be established between cartoonists .. Do you agree with my opinion? ..

Your regular reminder that the Far Right is a global endeavour.

200,000 people dead from heat in Europe in three years. 50,000 a year. Not in the Global South. Not in a future projection. In Europe. Now. This is not a warning. This is a fucking body count. And the oil companies that caused it are still posting record profits... phys.org/news/2026-06...

In 1970, the 5th grade students at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write to someone they admired and ask what makes a good citizen. Joel Lipton, then 10 years old, wrote to Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. Schulz's response is relevant even today:

140 millimetres of rain in a single day in Accra. The previous record was 56. The sky is no longer behaving the way anyone's grandparents knew it to. 59 dead in Côte d'Ivoire. 13 in Ghana. This kind of rainy season has no name yet in the old language. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

115 degrees of heat index. 130 million people trying to stay alive in it. The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature broke its record by an exceptionally large margin. The country baked through its own "independence". The fossil fuel industry sends its regards. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Have you ever had a book rejected by a publisher for being too revolutionary? ('Activisty' in liberal speak). Please send to me at [email protected] and I will check it out for our new press, Hard Rain Books. All kinds of book welcome.

Last night the BBC called airport staff ‘heatwave heroes’ for keeping private jets and elite business trips running. Meanwhile 3,700 died in a week in Europe. City Airport promotes climate chaos and the BBC is complicit that death wish. That’s the real story.

Tens of thousands dead in a single city. From heat and a grid that can't hold the desperate demand. This is a well-studied scenario for Phoenix, Arizona, especially this year, with El Niño arriving and data centres draining the power people need to survive. Mass death now has a postcode.

Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days.

🔴 ⚠️ 🔥 ♨️ 🛰️ It is one of the worst #wildfires for #Spain in this century, with 12 deaths and 1400 evacuated. The #IFLosGallardos is now more than 6600ha,doubling in 24 hours with 500 firefighters on the ground. ⬇️ #Sentinel2 📸 of the fire on July 10, at 3200ha. #Andalucia #climateemergency #Almeria

Sadly the science and maths are unforgiving of our ongoing preference for failure over action.

30-35 years ago I would have been playing footy on the local field with my top off. How the fuck can we not get climate action. They could shut kemi and farage and the other fuck knuckles down in minutes. No one this summer is playing shirts and skins and won’t for decades at this rate

Hello, french mom here. France is completely unprepared, and our governments keep cutting funding and scrapping environmental and building-adaptation programs. My children's school closed in June because the temperature in the classrooms was over 30°C at 7:30 a.m. Also, this pic is AI.

There's a petition to Parliament as well, but we all know how seriously those are taken. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

Thank you to @pippaneill.bsky.social for this article about the #NationalEmergencyBriefing in the Guardian. For a screening near you: www.nebriefing.org/screening-map Enter postcode to see if your MP has joined the Parliamentary Call for a televised briefing: www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

For the most part, we are completely & utterly unprepared for ~1.5ºC of heating. We underestimate the high risks at this level of heating. We are certain, given our current non-emergency approach to curbing fossil fuel burning, that 2ºC will be passed. What happens then?

Something historic just happened. 57 countries representing one-third of the global economy have begun a new process to move beyond fossil fuels — and they need public pressure to turn words into action. Add your name to keep the momentum going. ✍️ act.stand.earth/page/97806/p...

Yes, and I fit into that category myself. However we are no more representative of the general population than any other segment & the opinions of the retired shouldn't be given more weight simply because of lazy journalism & complete ignorance of what representative sampling is.
