What’s the difference between Putin deciding to annex parts of Ukraine, and the U.S. confiscating Venezuelan oil tankers? It’s the same thing, right?

We all knew this Administration would ask the military to do things that are illegal. I had hoped they would refuse.

A lot of people don’t like this about me. But I think NYC is that greatest city in the world. And I think two men with nothing else in common agreed on that today.

Huge salute of love, congratulations and support to Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani. New York is like a 2nd home to me, and I trust her vibrant diversity and opportunity in your hands.

The Sierra Club National Marine Team presents: The Science, Policy, and Cultural Implications of Deep Sea Mining This is going to be a great talk. Any chance to sit down with Uncle Sol is an opportunity I wouldn't miss. @arlohemphill.bsky.social is cool, too.

The radical leftists and antifa protesting this weekend have a “No Kings” flag they’ll be waving. I’m posting it here so you can identify them and stay safe.

Solve the AIDS crisis, become vilified. Bully college students, get a medal of honor. Got it. We’re in the Upside Down.

Blessings to all on Indigenous People’s Day!

The reason MAGA thinks Bad Bunny isn’t an American isn’t because of ignorance of Puerto Rico. It’s because they saw the headlines when he chose not to tour in the U.S. & immediately assumed he’s protecting himself. They can’t comprehend the idea of someone giving up $ to protect others.

You might be able to hide behind the need for rule of law when it comes to undocumented migrants, but Kristi Noem going after Bad Bunny is blatant racism. What business is it of hers? He’s a talented, law-abiding citizen, and one of biggest talents of our time. thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

These days feel like the early part of the Lord of the Rings, when all that was good in the world began to fade away. Have hope that Frodo did eventually destroy the ring. Goodbye sweet Jane. www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...

Let’s get those high seas sanctuaries going! www.greenpeace.org/usa/nations-...

The High Seas Treaty is going into force and it’s a Super Big Deal news.mongabay.com/2025/09/supe...

For the first time in human history, the High Seas now has a legally-binding law to protect marine life. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/c...

[email protected] celebrates the HIGH SEA TREATY (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction), which will become legally effective on January 17 2026

Late afternoon today we reached 60 ratifications for the Global Ocean Treaty. It will now enter into force - the formal law of the world’s high seas to protect biodiversity and pave the way towards a global network of ocean sanctuaries. Such an amazing win in an otherwise shadowy time!

Is the Left up to something sinister?

If you believed MAGA Media, America is plagued by anti-gun, anti-free speech trans people who also are expert sharp shooters with free speech they want heard. Do you all realize how ridiculous you sound?

Why do people keep saying that the U.S. military strike on a Venezuelan boat occurred in “international waters”? There are no international waters anywhere near Venezuela. Trump did this (if in fact that narrative is true) in sovereign waters of a Caribbean state, possibly even Venezuela itself.

🛑 Say NO to mining our vital oceans! NOAA is proposing new regulations that would fast-track seabed mining permits for U.S. companies — a reckless move that puts our deep sea at risk of corporate exploitation. engage.us.greenpeace.org/onlineaction...

As an undergrad I spent two full summers in the country of Antigua and Barbuda. Each time I got back and had to drive up the commercialized I-95 corridor from Miami to West Palm Beach I would sob uncontrollably. I didn’t know why then. I know why now.

Researchers, including Dr. William Cheung, found that more than one-third of the 347 #fish stocks would shift into the high seas by 2050, while at least one-fifth would shift into EEZs. news.mongabay.com/2025/08/clim... via @mongabay.com @julianop.bsky.social @ubccoru.bsky.social

The U.S. getting in to bed with the Cook Islands on deep sea mining isn’t about securing mineral needs for the country, it’s Cold War era one-up-manship towards China, at the expense of the ocean and Pacific people that depend on the health of their Moana www.greenpeace.org/usa/greenpea...

A Chinese-led research team has captured pictures of life at depths of more than 9km in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Read more: bbc.in/3IZ1dH1 #DefendTheDeep

'Deep Deception': Report Details How Deep-Sea Mining Industry Exploits National Security Fears www.commondreams.org/news/deep-se... "The green transition was always a false narrative," @arlohemphill.bsky.social "Now, the industry is repackaging itself as essential to national security and defense."

There are now two visions for mining the international seabed - one based on multilateralism and sharing resources, the other steeped in American greed and imperialism. They both will destroy our last and greatest wild frontier. www.greenpeace.org/usa/governme... #StopDeepSeaMining #DefendTheDeep

Just your regular reminder that NATO has been invoked only once in its history - after 9/11 when the other allies came to the support of the USA 🇺🇸. The idea that the US is footing the bill is laughable.

The EPA is openly promoting a bill that will reduce your tax credits, pollute your air, and turn your oceans and national parks into oil fields and mines.
