Fascinating development.

are these guys just touching Horcruxes in their spare time

Get ready for Team Human to have a new advocate in the A.I. debate...👀

President Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history. They moved fast to avoid the scrutiny of the judicial process, and very likely violated the Constitution. This is an outrage.

Laugh/Cry 😱

December 2023: 54% of Americans support economic and military aid to Israel. 38% opposed. (+16) May 2026: 37% of Americans support aid to Israel. 57% opposed. (-20) A *36-point* net shift against aid to Israel in less than three years.

REMINDER: Corruption has often been the achilles heel of authoritarian regimes. So I sure hope some of us are focusing on amplifying MAGA-appropriate messengers who can expose the reality of Trump's epic grift. It's just so blatant.

*[Christian] Fascism is first and foremost an attack on reality* "Mr. Johnson, who is expected to close the prayer rally, has argued that separation of church and state is “misunderstood,” and that “the Founders wanted to protect the church from an encroaching state, not the other way around.” 🎁🔗

You can get to a high-warming world without high emissions . That's the part of this week's "RCP 8.5 is implausible" discussion that's getting missed. A short thread on why the relief is premature 🧵

So the problem isn't the analysis but the word. 'Degrowth' sounds like deprivation in a culture equating growth with progress. CJ framing works because it names what people want (justice) rather than what they'd lose. Same destination, different on-ramp. The lesson is that framing IS organizing.

Data centers are at the intersection of everything we care about: social, political, and environmental. The trajectory the tech billionaires want us on is catastrophic to everything. But the tide is turning, and we can win.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

The ignoring is strategic, not ignorant. They've read the science. They've calculated that the returns on extraction in the next decade outweigh the costs that arrive after their tenure. That's the structural problem, not a knowledge gap.

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

Greater harms would come later but the entire reason for being of the Biden Administration was to 1) prevent Trump from getting a second term and 2) punish him for the harm and corruption of the first one, and it was such a failure on that front that now this is happening x.com/KFaulders/st...

I was shocked. This was not the intro I expected. Ted also appeared to be startled as he stared at my gross, chewed up, pen which he was now holding in his hand. "Oh. Sorry. I thought it was a cigarette," he said and handed it back to me. 4/5

California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra just took half a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry. This on top of the max contribution from Chevron. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Today is Nakba Day. For Palestinians, the Nakba is not only a history of 1948 displacement. It is an ongoing reality of occupation, besiegement, settlement expansion and dispossession.

just jaw-dropping levels of corruption and criming going on here. CALL NOW

You: please act normal you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: The pace of global warming has DOUBLED since just 2015. In this, the 6th mass extinction, the extinction rate is currently up to 10,000x the natural rate. And covering Earth in gas-guzzling data centers is INEVITABLE?

One key aspect that IMHO not enough climate orgs have reflected on is the role of #netzero in facilitating Wall St’s deception. Because tragically, even when financial institutions claimed to acting on climate, they never actually stopped funding the expansion of fossil fuel dependency. 4/

Most Florida scene ever? "Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump. Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone." x.com/pastormarkbu...

Ted Turner. RIP. 🎁🔗 Due to a strange plot twist in how geopolitics intersected with his commercial ambitions, Ted Turner actually had a pretty big impact on my life. That's too much to go into on a random Thursday but I do feel compelled to share about the one time I actually met him. 🧵 1/5

Amen! Brother Jones is such a bright light!

Wow. 🤯 Given William Faulkner was from only one state over and perhaps shaped in unknowable ways by the same long arc of deep time, it seems like an appropriate moment to drop one of his classic lines: "The past is never dead. It's not even past"

The best hope for America is for those of us committed to multiracial democracy to finally re-win the Civil War.

I don't think I had ever interviewed anyone, let alone a global media mogul. So while waiting for him to arrive I was nervously chewing on a white pen. When he walked up the first thing he did was make a loud grunt of disapproval, grab my pen and rip it right out of my mouth! 3/5

Woke up thinking about this phrase. Turns out I posted it almost exactly a year ago.

The world is changing fast.... 👀

The Trump regime weaponizes make-believe to justify war, corruption and authoritarian power grabs. "Lying" is too small a term for such grandiose deceit. It's more next level PsyOps. An information battlefield so immersive it is essentially REALITY WAR. Which is why I wrote this article:

It’s a wonky term, but “polycrisis” helps us remember that climate change, economic injustice, and far right reactionary politics are not separate, nor are they really analogies or metaphors for one another.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

The fact that a single billionaire hedge fund manager has now cornered the market on privately owned copies of the Constitution (2 of the only 14 remaining apparently) seems like a telling window into how the US is doing on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

Digging through the archives and came across this old gem. Doesn't matter how many elections the Fossil Fuel industry buys... CCS is still a lie.👇 #ClimateSky💡🔌

REMINDER: The global elite still has far too many lovers of "net" and not enough champions of "zero." Hiding behind the climate jargon wordplay is a dangerous ideology that is undermining the ecological foundation of human civilization The "Market-will-Save-Us" control myth ☠️ 🧨❤️‍🔥 #ClimateSky 🔌💡
