People defending Yglesias’ view that “Liberals should support America’s O&G industry” view policy through the mechanistic lens of finance, economics, & engineering. They’re oblivious to ecology & community. Which makes it quite ironic when they tell critics to “touch grass.”

1/3 #ClimateSky folks may know my friend Casey Harrell from his decades of work leading transformative campaigns. He has ALS and is 1st person to get experimental brain implants that may revolutionize treatment. But he needs funds for his life-sustaining care. Please donate & spread the word. 🔌💡

Greta arrested for doing what helped kick off a global #climate youth movement: holding a sign about an ongoing moral crisis. Her sign read: “I support Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide” as part of ongoing protests against UK's draconian repression of pro-Palestinian voices. #LetGazaLive

This is a catastrophe at one of the Bay Area's most storied and effective educational institutions, in the midst of unprecedented private wealth. goldengatexpress.org/114511/campu...

In case you're unclear on what JD Vance is trying to do here maybe it will help to recall Italian writer Ignazio Silone's 1938 description of what fascism is: “Fascism is a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.”

Left: Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a placard in London Right: Labour's Baron Hain, "This gov is treating Palestine action as equivalent to ISIS or al-Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. I'm deeply ashamed"

Streisand Effect versus Bari Weiss's billionaire appeasing attempts to censor the Trump regime's crimes. Go internet! Go! 😆✊🙏

This year’s Presidential Christmas card.

COOL JOB ALERT: Rad Comms is hiring their first ever national director. This is a dream job from some badass narrative strategist who wants to help our movements win big structural changes.

The citywide outage is San Francisco is going to be the straw that broke PG&E's stranglehold on California politics. Here's my state Senator calling for public ownership- not just for San Francisco but all of PG&E statewide. The future is public and that's what @publicgrids.org is for.

Matt Yglesias consistently treats net zero as if it’s some arbitrary goal that activists want, not a goal that scientists say is necessary to preserve a livable planet for all. He so badly wants a solution that sounds "reasonable" that he's willing to ignore and dismiss scientific reality.

*Fascism is first and foremost an attack on reality* For my thoughts about how to fight back, check out my recent article in The 🔥 Forge:

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

2/3 Here's an article from 2021 about Casey's work as a #climate campaigner pressuring Wall Street to stop funding fossil fuels. Casey has dedicated his life to fighting for a livable planet and now he needs our help to stay alive. Give to his GoFundMe @ www.gofundme.com/f/save-casey...

The Shit Corollary: Fascism is when shitty people whine about fake shit to rev up dumb shits to allow them to screw shit up.

If you are working towards a vision of shared prosperity in a clean energy future and your principal adversaries are unions, environmentalists, and community-based justice orgs, consider if just maybe it might be possible that you haven't unlocked secret knowledge they are all too dumb to understand

This is the way forward. Countries can come along or be left behind.

from the nyt reporting: “for all its utility, the technology cannot mitigate the crushing financial burden of trying to live and work with A.L.S…”

Don't Look Up was a documentary. 😱

"African governments’ call for a non-use agreement for solar geoengineering – echoing the precedents of landmine and chemical weapons bans – is a recognition that some technologies shift power so sharply that they create unmanageable risks. A line has to be drawn." #ClimateSky 🔌💡

@albomp.bsky.social Saw a great truism... Pitting Jewish safety against Palestinian freedom doesn't make Jews safer, it makes fighting antisemitism harder.

BAY AREA: Big milestone in the fight to prevent the Trump regime from expanding their deportation gulag. We have marched, canvassed, rallied, lobbied & now the City Council has joined us! Thank you @indivisibleeb.bsky.social #BayResistance and all the local organizers who have got us this far. 🙏🌈✊

Please share, and chip in if you can. www.crowdjustice.com/case/6-clima...

REMINDER: Despite ecological breakdown threatening the future of global civilization the nationalist maniacs running the world's superpowers are still focused on trying to dominate each other. "America’s newest fighter plane, the F-35 Lightning II... pilot’s helmet alone costs about $400,000." 🔌💡

“Climate action” is just another way to say “we want our beautiful complex planet to continue to be a good place to live, and to continue to be both beautiful and complex”. So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will.

Thiel vs Altman vs Musk vs Zuckerberg? Sounds like a 4 way tie to me. Yet another reason we need to BAN THE BILLIONAIRE. #CallThemOligarchs

RESOURCE: The Trump regime has weaponized make-believe to wage a "reality war" against people & planet. What can our movements learn from the Right's narrative strategy and how can we use it to fight authoritarianism? New strategy article from me in THE 🔥 FORGE: forgeorganizing.org/article/winn...

Yet another plot point in the ongoing murder/suicide of the American auto industry. #GreenSky 🔌💡

🧵 on yesterday's inspiring action where faith leaders shut down ICE headquarters in San Francisco for the day. This is the moral leadership we need to stand up to Trump's racist authoritarianism. #AbolishICE #PeoplePower

I'm 98% sure he is talking about Star Trek 4 (the one with the whales) when the Klingon bird of prey became visible when they opened the hatch.

I think it's important to remember that no matter who wins, we're all losers

Own the libs by sabotaging weather prediction research? The petrofascists of the Trump regime have gotten so deep in their own ridiculous climate denial propaganda that they now think the "atmosphere" is a woke environmental conspiracy. 🫠 #ClimateSky

ProPublica has fallen 😔🕯️

So many of our problems as a country are more explicable when you add the frame of 'we are an industry-captured petrostate, and like most petrostates, we are resource-cursed'.

Some solid media coverage of today's actions. "The faith leaders, wearing religious garb from various denominations, stood in front of the courthouse doors, singing, “If you come for them, you’ll have to go through us.” #AbolishICE #BayResistance

the year is 1990. american children walk out of their schools chanting, "no blood for oil." the year is 2003. american children walk out of their schools chanting, "no blood for oil." the year is 2025

"Luigi Mangione cannot take a bad picture" is rapidly reaching "mass can neither be created nor destroyed" levels of scientific validity

My homies from Revel Alliance bring some strategic creativity & artivism to today's faith-led blockade of the SF ICE office. Their grief theater names just a few of the many who have died in ICE Custody. Silence in the face of injustice is complicity. Resistance is life. #AbolishICE #BayResistance
