Better social media regulation in Europe does not mean censorship. It means algorithmic transparency. We do not need to ban content, but we absolutely must force tech companies to show us exactly what their algorithms are amplifying

Voting for Steyer IS voting for health. Letter in SF Chronicle from Dr Wendy Bernstein:

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

“Solving climate change is affordability”. Useful explainer on rooftop solar value.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

Mitch Landrieu to @weareufd.bsky.social: "Not only do they want to create a system where you can't vote, they want to take away votes that have already been cast. The message is loud and clear: they will not be stopped, at least not judicially."

I've spent a lifetime teaching young people — and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. These are the most important lessons I've learned along the way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpjs...

MayDay in Martinez - a rousing Rally and March on a beautiful day. Great to be there with old friends and make new ones. Thanks to David Solnit for the Art! #NoImmunityforBigOil @indivisresistcoco.bsky.social

Liberation lifts the spirits. Let’s all free our minds of the “can’t do” mentality placed there by five decades of Big Oil disinformation and greenwashing. “You tell me it’s the institution, well you know, you’ve got to free your mind instead.” @fossiltreaty.bsky.social

Wait- so BIG OIL wants IMMUNITY from the damage they’ve caused, yet using ISDS They’ve ‘demanded and, in at least $100bn worth of cases, received compensation for loss of earnings.’ #MakePollutersPay

We’re putting Trump, corporations, and billionaires on notice and reminding them that the real power in this country lies with the people. #MayDay

I like Tom Steyer - worked with him on a webinar for our climate health group. He's the real deal. Especially liked his work with NextGen youth. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-case-for...

I am seeking the appointment of a Special Master to assist in getting the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It's time that the lawyers in the Trump Regime actually follow the law.

"The broader problem is clear: Powerful industries hide the dangers of their products, and once the truth emerges, they race to Congress to close the courthouse doors," writes @henricksen.bsky.social. "If lawmakers hand out immunity, the victims are left with nothing."

Dense reading, but essential thinking about a future that shifts from shipping fossils fuels to shipping materials for industrial production to the clean energy, so “the energy doesn’t cross the border — the material does, with the clean energy already inside it”? substack.com/app-link/pos...

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

This seems suboptimal

Seeing through the reality distortion: “Russia is at war with …all of Western civilization… – It spreads its cancer of subversion, coercion, deception — using propaganda, cyberwar, and paid influencers. Because we failed in the West to fight back against modern…” open.substack.com/pub/heidicud...

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...

Authoritarians go after elections because YOUR vote is their biggest threat. Don't let them win by walking away. Elections are our most powerful weapon-and as long as we have them, we must use them. Fight back at the ballot box!

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

We've subsidised oil companies for decades as we "need" their products to run society, but now we dont, we need to use those same subsidies for heat pumps, EV's, solar panels, turbines, bio mass what ever else we can use to generate electric, it's only fair, we'd get to "net 0" real fast that way.

Holding two signs each? These doctors must have been really eager to share the pro-democracy message of health and H.O.P.E. #NoKings3

This is not sustainable. We must get serious about our environment cause pretty soon Mother Nature will make everything else irrelevant www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I was at a #NoKings rally yesterday and rather than writing another essay about why this matters I will just say that it is pure joy to meet the people who want to stand out and the people who are doing the work. Thank you.

Yesterday, millions of us once again affirmed the foundation of the common good. But how do we turn yesterday’s solidarity into political power? Here are three suggestions. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-turning-solidarity

Vietnam War Veterans Day is a time to honor and remember our veterans for their heroism and sacrifice. It’s their courage that continues to inspire us all. Thank you for your service.

5 orthopedists joined our climate health contingent for #NoKings. Asked why, they said “ We know that when something is broken, you need to fix it.” @docsforclimate.bsky.social @psr.org

A cold wind off the ice in Little Traverse Bay in Petoskey, Michigan wasn't strong enough to discourage hundreds of enthusiastic and peaceful protesters from turning out with signs and flags to line US 31. Democracy rocks even in the snowy north! #nokings

The SF white coat contingent keeps growing with every #NoKings

Agree. Using our trusted voices to help our patients and communities understand what is affecting their health is an essential form of preventive care.
