I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Mamdani gets it: the task of ecosocialists is to show that we can build a fairer, greener world faster than centrists.

It was an honor to be interviewed in-depth by @lalehkhalili.bsky.social @proteanmag.com A key theme: how to analyze “extractive frontiers” from a world-systemic perspective attentive to both the structures of colonialism and capitalism—and to socio-ecological struggle proteanmag.com/2025/12/22/e...

San Francisco could follow the example from New York and begin to build a whole new political bloc based entirely around making PG&E public. In the Hudson Valley, the fight against their corporate utility, Central Hudson, is a defining part of @sarahana.bsky.social's work as a state Assembly member.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang tells Joe Rogan that Trump "saved the AI industry...  If not for his pro-growth energy policy, we would not be able to build factories for AI."

I spent months talking to many, many people for this long post-mortem of the Inflation Reduction Act: What forces were responsible for creating it, and how could it be gutted so unceremoniously? What might come next? No easy answers ofc but hopefully a bit of clarity newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Thanks to The Majority Report

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The current federal administration is destabilizing the offshore wind industry with stop-work orders and slashed subsidies. We need a credible plan to meet climate targets and build capacity—enter a federal Offshore Wind Authority. climateandcommunity.org/research/off...

My work is featured in Stanford Social Innovation Review today @nyupress.bsky.social @publicpowerny.bsky.social ssir.org/books/excerp...

I was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice. Long 🧵😊

I'm also looking forward to reading this ASAP! We were able to give everyone at our public power convening an early copy thanks to @fholt.bsky.social! nyupress.org/978147983780...

DSA is full of terrorists because we are competing more effectively in the electoral process.

"Greening the global economy does not have to be done through unjust fuel extraction; societies can choose fairer paths to net-zero emissions." Perfectly put. Love this glowing review of @triofrancos.bsky.social's EXTRACTION in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Join Fabian Holt as he explores the rise of NYC-DSA in "Organize or Burn" on Oct 8th. The book delves into the evolution of socialist movements and their climate initiatives. Featuring insights from Liza Featherstone and NYC-DSA organizers. RSVP:

‼️ Read an adapted excerpt from EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism in @nybooks.com ‼️ Extraction is officially published TOMORROW (9/23) 👀 www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

I was interviewed for this book, which is finally coming out! I’ve read the chapter in which I am quoted/sourced and I think it is an interesting study of the public power campaign’s origins and how nyc-dsa played a hitherto infilled role in the climate movement. nyupress.org/978147983781...

👀 y'all this book drops in a month! i have heard nothing but good things about it, and @fholt.bsky.social has been extremely generous and kind, which is worth something in our movement and in this time. ask your library to order it!

My chapter titled "Music and the Climate Crisis" was just published academic.oup.com/edited-volum...

Temperature records are going to keep getting broken until morale improves (or until we stop burning fossil fuels).

I wrote about how the Build Public Renewables Act is starting to win!

I just read the introduction to this and believe everyone should ask their library to order a copy of this book (and if you're coming to the national convening for public power this fall you'll be getting a copy for yourself!) nyupress.org/978147983780...

Curious about my new book that will be out in print next Friday (June 6)? Check out this Q&A I had the honor to do with @asc.upenn.edu! (My book is available for 30% off now on Oxford University Press's website - linked to in the Q&A below - with the code AUFLY30) www.asc.upenn.edu/news-events/...

To bomb Iran the US deployed 7 B2 bombers, each of which cost $2.1B to build. They used 14 huge “bunker busters,” a model that cost $500 million to develop. The US invested ~ $15 billion in this attack—almost 50% more than it invested in affordable housing construction this year.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

The nytimes’s abstention from local political endorsement lasted exactly as long as it took for a credible socialist mayoral candidate to emerge. I would be very interested to know the internal conversations behind the decision to move today’s editorial.

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is especially the case in the social media age, where mass demos are no longer proof of formal networks capable of making specific demands, accepting concessions, or acting in a coordinated way in other environments (the ballot box, the workplace).
