Tell me again how now (still) isn't the right time to fight climate change

I hope that when Liberal MPs who claim to care about climate change wake up coughing on smoke from a climate-fueled wildfire that is devastating First Nations communities in northern Ontario, they ask themselves: Do we really want to buy oil CEOs another pipeline? www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

The Ohio EPA is drafting a new type of permit the would let Ohio data centers dump millions of gallons of wastewater into rivers and lakes and streams every day.

BREAKING: The Daily Wire is now reporting that ICE has been ordered to stop conducting vehicle stops. The outlet says federal sources tell them immigration officers across the country have been told to stop pulling over vehicles after the recent killings in Maine and Texas.

NY Governor Kathy Hochul has just made New York the first state with a hyperscale data center moratorium. Hochul signed an executive order instituting a one-year ban on data centers over 50 megawatts rather than signing legislation passed by the legislature that also included a one-year ban.

Today, the federal government finalized a major change to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to remove vital habitat protections for endangered species.

The Trump administration has rolled back a major protection under the Endangered Species Act by repealing the long-standing definition of what counts as prohibited “harm” to endangered species.

The Bureau of Land Management is rewriting rules for ranching on public lands to allow more livestock grazing in the West. Overgrazing has degraded public lands, and the overhaul would expand the practice, rangeland experts say. w/ @highcountrynews.org

#WolffBites: A recent Harvard study says monthly housing costs tripled ($1,000 to over $3,000) from 1990 to 2025. That's much faster than most incomes rose. US capitalism pushed home prices out of reach for most Americans. www.jchs.harvard.edu/son-2026-hom...

#WolffBites: WEB DuBois helps us to appreciate the breakthrough importance of the democratic socialist electoral victories in New York, Washington and Colorado of recent weeks. No wonder the establishment worries. seattlemedium.com/democratic-s...

Another food crisis report that was buried 🤦 This new one comes thanks to the fantastic work of @rupertread.bsky.social and @ben-cooke.bsky.social in The Times this week. A quick thread 🧵: www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Are we doomed to be powerless? Doomed to be alienated? Are we doomed? phys.org/news/2026-02...

REMINDER: A 2024 government report warning the UK food system was at risk of “catastrophic failure” as soon as 2030 was buried for 2 vital years. Whoever this Labour government are working for, it’s not you & me, and it’s certainly not our children. #VoteGreen @greenparty.org.uk

VICTORY!! @melatkirosco.bsky.social has won in CO-01 We are electing champions with moral clarity who will never back down. A new generation of leadership is sweeping this nation and this is only the beginning.

Just the beginning.

Last week’s results showed what @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social reported from Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre: New York’s socialist electoral movement is not symbolic. It can win. Every Mamdani-endorsed candidate won, turning a rallying cry into a political fact.

Howard Zinn taught us how to tough it out during the worst of times and why we can never let the bastards steal our hope—which is, of course, why the bastards still fear him. https://bit.ly/4y2cWtB

Dangerous to record setting heat will expand across the eastern two-thirds of the nation this week. Be sure to follow your local forecast information from weather.gov and heat.gov

An early estimate for excess deaths in this heat wave - 1,000 people died in France in just a few days.

Across all of June, Spain has registered nearly 3,500 heat deaths so far. bsky.app/profile/drxe...

As global leaders look to tech advances to solve climate change, one leading idea involves capturing carbon pollution from the air and burying it underground forever. But while this concept may sound practical, there is no conceivable way it can work. Here's why 👇 w/ @drilledmedia.bsky.social

Warned That GOP Will Make Him 'Poster Child of Democratic Party,' Mamdani Says: 'Let Them' | "I think we are seeing a hunger that is not just felt by New Yorkers, but frankly by Americans from coast to coast, for a new kind of politics, one that puts working people at the heart of it."

Last night’s results showed what @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social reported from Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre: New York’s socialist electoral movement is not symbolic. It can win. Every Mamdani-endorsed candidate won, turning a rallying cry into a political fact.

Israeli attacks on Gaza and occupied West Bank kill two, including child https://aje.news/r51ao0

We have just witnessed France’s hottest day in recorded history. The severity of this heatwave is truly hard to comprehend. Over 50 millions people will be under red-level extreme heat warnings tomorrow. Sadly, what’s going on there is a foreshadowing of our future. Data: DWD/Météo France

BREAKING: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has banned ICE fascists from entering NYC property. This is what leadership looks like. This is what the people voted for. Shame on the corporate Dems (NJ Gov & VA Gov) who won with this mandate, but became cowards & complicit when time came to protect people.

All three progressive candidates backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani — including two who took on Democratic incumbents — won their primaries in safe seats almost guaranteeing their election in November. n.pr/4ahbysP

Here we go - Mamdani has arrived at Darializa Avila Chevalier’s watch party

Congratulations to @darializaforny.bsky.social on this huge upset in NY-13! Darializa just defeated an incumbent congressman with over 30 years in elected office who has continued to prioritize special interests over New Yorkers! Voters want elected officials who will actually fight for them.

With Darializa Avila Chevalier’s win, all three House candidates endorsed by Zohran Mamdani won their New York primaries.

Yeah, now seems like just the right time to dismantle a $368 million system of deep ocean monitoring buoys. :-/

Seven states sue Trump over terminated offshore wind project in New York www.courthousenews.com/seven-states...

The plans are now in doubt as protests grow in Albania over what many see as an unlawful land grab of a national nature preserve orchestrated with the consent of the country's prime minister. www.courthousenews.com/as-bulldozer...

We need to track ocean currents to assess how close we are to climate tipping points that will destroy the world as we know it. The GOP doesn't want us to be able to do that. That's why they're dismantling ocean monitoring. #ClimateChange #Denial #Psychopathy www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

It's happening 🚨 House GOP representatives are about to introduce a bill that would completely eliminate subsidized student loans. They are trying to make it impossible to go to college unless you can afford to pay for it upfront.

They are building a UFC arena on the White House lawn, because the world has gone insane, and there are chatbots in our skulls, and our eyes have been crossed out with black ink. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/they-are-b...

👀👀👀 the UN general assembly has backed the ICJ climate opinion – despite opposition from the US & 7 others (Russia, Saudi, Iran, Belarus, Liberia, Yemen & Israel) Also a notable abstention from COP31 host Turkey

Sure looks like Republicans redrew the map in Tennessee to stop Memphis from sending Justin J. Pearson to Congress, who is/was poised to win the primary after fighting like hell against Elon Musk's methane-spewing data centre monstrosities in South Memphis. Craven, desperate and racist as hell.

After the commission and board voted down the data center, the developer sued and the town settled. Then, construction began. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

The first ever international conference focused on transitioning off of fossil fuels...was a historic step, but also revealed just how difficult it will be to change entrenched systems. Read the analysis from @ninalakhani.bsky.social @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/news/santa-m...

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6
