Our final tally of the climate pollution cause by Israel and allies' assault on Gaza is out today in @cp-oneearth.bsky.social. Emissions are not the most important reason to demand an end to the US & Israel's aggressive, illegal military interventions, but they are yet another reason to demand it.

"The Transition Security Project estimates that the 2022 energy shock cost the EU and UK $1.8tn between 2022 and 2025, while US firms made $241bn in windfall profits. Higher inflation pushed up interest rates, making capital-intensive renewables harder to finance than fossil fuels."

“Instead of clinging on to a broken transatlantic partnership, Europe needs to develop an independent foreign policy based on international solidarity, restraint and climate collaboration.” Our briefing in @theguardian.com 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great write up of the tremendous work by my colleague @cashman.bsky.social showing the absurdly huge cost that Europeans are paying for hitching their wagon to US LNG instead of going all-in on renewables.

The US–Israeli attack on Iran will deepen the cost of living crisis. The last energy shock cost Europe $1.8tn. Europe’s leaders have backed the illegal war that may cause the next shock. The transatlantic alliance is Europe’s trillion dollar bill. 🧵 transitionsecurity.org/trillion-dol...

The U.S. torpedoed a ship w/ 180 crew that was 2k miles from Iran It had just been in a joint exercise that....the US had also been in. The ship “thought it was safe in international waters,” said Hegseth, “instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,” Just 32 survivors. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...

It's worth noting that Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and Denmark, facing aggression, all negotiated with the US and made extraordinary concessions. Nevertheless, the US attacked Venezuela and Iran and is blockading Cuba. The US wants control, not concessions.

Next week, Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie will force a vote to stop Trump’s march to an illegal, disastrous war with Iran. Call 1-833-STOP-WAR (1-833-786-7927) to connect with your Reps to urge them to vote YES on the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

“As a Palestinian, the best moment of my life was being on top of an Israeli weapons factory with a sledgehammer being able to destroy that site. And knowing, that just that by being there and causing damage, they would have to shut down. Not just while I was there, but for weeks after.” Huda...

The Secretary General’s spokesman, for a second day, failed to speak clearly or defend UN’s Albanese against a manufactured misinformation campaign: bsky.app/profile/drop...

The NYC Policy Forum is a very exciting new project which I am thrilled to be part of.

New definition of sovereignty dropped

Rep. Thomas Massie and I have requested a meeting with Todd Blanche to ask why the senders of these emails have been redacted. Concealing the reputations of these powerful men is a blatant violation of the Epstein Transparency Act we passed.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Everybody who perpetrated this while covering it up should be in the Hague www.reuters.com/world/early-...

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

I'm sorry, this is just fan fiction. There's no way you can look at the United States' record of intervention and flagrant violation of international law and write this sentence.

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

Pretty amazing. While leading “Columbians for Academic Freedom,” Bari Weiss sought to get pro-Palestine Columbia professors fired. While leading “The Free Press,” Weiss is spiking stories to cover for a president who’s sought to get pro-Palestine Columbia students deported.

CPC Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social and Whip @chuygarcia.house.gov along with the Progressive Caucus are supporting two resolutions to end Trump’s brutal military campaign in Venezuela that has killed 87 people.

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US This view is wrong A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

The U.S. government continues to kill people for the amusement of the President and other members of his administration.

The UN just held a vote on ending torture, in which three countries voted against ending torture. 🔍 Zoom in…

New from our @dylangyauchl.bsky.social. Larry Summers' banishment from positions of influence should be permanent.

Oh no, Iran has an economy and is engaging in trade! What will they do next!?

JUST IN: IRANIAN sleeper cell EXPOSED

Sixteen media groups, including Al Jazeera and CPJ, are calling for an end to Israel’s “forced starvation” and targeting of journalists in Gaza, saying they’re being starved deliberately. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/u3ht4q

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum says that “genocide prevention” is a key part of its mission. But they are silent on Israel's #genocide in #Gaza. Museum executives have received 60K emails urging @ushmm.bsky.social to end its silence. Click here to send yours: actionnetwork.org/letters/ushm...

New research published by The Lancet finds that economic sanctions imposed by the USA and EU are associated with more than 500,000 deaths per year since 1970, five times more than deaths by war. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

You know that post btw a car’s windshield and side window? It’s called an A-pillar – and it’s becoming a problem. A-pillars are expanding, enlarging driver blind zones and concealing pedestrians at crosswalks. Blame car bloat, as well as ill-conceived federal rules. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

What if having an advantage...was actually a disadvantage???

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Is the New York Times seriously trying to frame this rent hike as Mamdani's fault, when it's ultimately a decision made by the current mayor?

This is exactly how a strongman government aspires to function—instead of rules, everything is a favor to be requested from the boss.

"Anti-semitism" now occupies the same place in American politics that "anti-American" did in the aftermath of 9/11: a thought-terminating attack that doesn't require any factual basis. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o...

People used to laugh at the Chinese car industry. Not many people laugh at it anymore. www.techspot.com/news/108414-...

The US attack on Iran was unprovoked and illegal, done in cooperation with a regime that is currently perpetrating a genocide, whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court. That is the world we are in.
