BREAKING: The cultural arc of the term "cheugy" is now complete. The word, allegedly coined in 2013, finally reached me: an aging, obnoxiously unhip Gen Xer who had to turn to wikipedia to learn it is/was Gen Z slang meaning "the opposite of trendy." I am Cheugy. Cheugy is dead. Long live Cheugy.

When the president gets ordered, multiple times, to pay out federal food benefits as the law requires:

It was truly an amazing and glorious day in modern American history.

My latest, via @earthislandjournal.bsky.social: On one point, Bill Gates and I agree. Gates writes “There is no CEO who sets the world’s climate priorities or strategies, which is exactly as it should be." Let’s take him at his word on that. www.earthisland.org/journal/inde...

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Sick of hearing all the elite whitewashing of Dick Cheney? This Green and Red podcast offers a morally-recentering antidote and refresher on the actual history of one of the biggest American war criminals of the modern era.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

In the 10 years since Paris, we failed to take the actions necessary to hold to 1.5C. We now face the same challenge in the next decade, but for 2C. But now we also have to also contend with far worse #climate impacts as we try to decarbonise. The longer we wait, the harder it gets! #Overshoot

Oh my god women are in WORKPLACES??? With their BOOBS everywhere?

A Christmas Carol circa 2025 Trump is Scrooge (duh?) All ghosts: Marley, Xmas Past, Present & Future are Epstein and they just keep haunting him. Bob Cratchit is America. Taylor Swift as Tiny Tim (soundtrack sales 📈🤑) Plus a Greek Chorus of Satanic billionaires to make it feel more accurate.

Tommy Tuberville probably doesn’t even know what continent Nigeria is part of..

“a person from the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than the poorest 50% emit all year” A stark visual from ‘Climate Plunder: How a powerful few are locking the world into disaster’ by @oxfaminternational.bsky.social policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/cl...

Avoiding geoengineering havoc requires a scientifically informed, globally-coordinated, internationally agreed strategy say Royal Society, lasting for centuries whilst CO2 was removed from the atmosphere When we can't even organise an intl carbon tax on shipping www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Republican party is a sycophant cult that seems ready to justify literally any old bizarre thought that their fearless leader decides to spew out on social media. Invade Nigeria? Sure... but why stop there? Why not ban carrots or nuke the moon or demand every country put up Trump statues?

They’ll insist this is a one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else. They’re wrong. New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe. If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

Damn! The Zohran campaign video has been amazing throughout and this is a beautiful capstone. 🥳

This is the new Ohio Diner

Billionaire superPACs opposing Zohran raised over $40 million, which would have paid for a lot of free buses.

Brooklyn is in the streets cheering for Zohran

treat yo self!!!

This is the particular political malpractice to which I am referring.

I guess they couldn't get Satan on the phone so Miller thought he'd jump in with an endorsement that no doubt is really going to help Cuomo. LOL

Reposting this today because Chuck Schumer is STILL showing us he fails the basic litmus test for leading an opposition party.

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

😆

Hilarious professional miscommunication because auto-correct shifted typology to typography. In this case it was quickly resolved, but always a good reminder to double check those emails before you push send!

REMINDER: Our current fossil fueled, growth-obsessed global economic model is a doomsday machine attacking the ability of the biosphere to sustain current levels of diversity. This is the era where we must win rapid system change or forever pay the price. #ClimateSky www.planetaryhealthcheck.org

Want to know more? You can read the full story of this epic struggle and the courageous coalition building that united historic enemies to restore the ecosystems and cultures of this critical river basin in @grist.org series of articles. There is a lot to be learned from the Klamath! 5/5

The ongoing techno-capitalist enclosure of our imaginations is happening every day. But sometimes it takes something as seemingly innocuous as the time change to make you write a 🧵 about it...

“We the people,” became “We the consumers.” And now as our attention is auctioned off to the highest bidder we’re rapidly becoming “We the commodity.” As many have observed: The product is us. 10/

I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true: - fascists were trying to take over the USA - we were beating them Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them. Do. Not. Doom.

Particularly now as US fascism’s “reality war” has let a wannabe dictator, the leader of the failed 2021 coup, return to power by weaponizing blatant lies the tingle feels more ominous. Centralized “updates” of anything invoke the specter of growing technofascism. 3/

So sure, time change auto-updates are NOT a big deal. But I hope maybe they’ll make you feel a little creepy sci-fi tingle too. And maybe that little tingle can help us to remember to ask: Who’s building our future and do I get a say in it? Now go enjoy that "extra" hour of daylight 😉 11/11

So is he just speedrunning invading every oil hotspot in the world lmao.

Got to post this every year at this time. Annual tradition. Because. It. Is. Coming.

500 years of colonialism, industrial extraction and exploitation have pushed ecosystems and the Indigenous peoples who depend on them to the brink. But never underestimate Nature’s ability to heal, if we let it. #ClimateSky “The river seemed to come alive almost instantly after dam removal...” 1/5

"Here's the thing, Bill Gates: There is no 'patch' for the climate crisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop digging—and burning—fossil fuels." — @michaelemann.bsky.social

Here's the original campaign mailer from 2004 created for the Tribal-led coalition by my old organization the smartMeme Collective. It was sent out to tribal members across the basin and helped launch the campaign they would lead through so many challenges for the next 20 years. 3/4
