With the disappointing progress at Cop30, evergreen reminder it isn't "we" or "humanity" failing to address the climate crisis — oil-producing nations and fossil fuel interests are actively obstructing action, despite heroic efforts by developing nations, Indigenous peoples, and many, many others.

I'm tickled pink to learn that I'll be teaching another class on Pre-Code films for the Lifelong Learning program at the University of Montana in spring.

"For a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe & America, to undermine NATO & weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal. There is a long tradition of great powers in Europe making deals over the heads of smaller countries...."

Well Said Lt. General Hertling......

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Seattle Streets. #CrushIce

This young man has it exactly right.

It's been this way for decades! The industry takes their talking points from the same mainstream techno-optimism that makes liberal leaders think we can somehow deal w 40gt of CO2 pollution every year while still using fossil fuels. This is the language of climate politics all the way down. 1/2

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

JUST IN: A federal judge says one of the Venezuelan men — illegally deported to El Salvador in March before he was swapped back to Venezuela in a prisoner exchange — is now missing, possibly a victim of the violence he was seeking asylum from. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

Houlahan: "I'm just continually stunned by the fact the commander in chief, the president, has called for my death. And that's something that should be chilling for everybody, and everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation when the president can yield that sort of statement."

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

Also crucial from Rep Chrissy Houlahan: One reason she and other Dems did the video about Trump's illegal orders is that they're hearing from inside the military and intel services of actual live fears that they're being given unlawful commands: newrepublic.com/article/2034...

America 2025.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

YOU. MUST. REFUSE. ILLEGAL. ORDERS.

Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE. Here’s how to use them:

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

To each of us, our own vibes. All allies. #TheAlliedForces

“I want their morale as low as possible, because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter, patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe, and makes federal agents uncomfortable.

Jeffries: "What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune had the decency to distance himself from Trump's remarks. But Mike Johnson couldn't say a thing."

🚨OUR NEW AD JUST DROPPED 🚨 Washington is giving billionaires the easy ride—while hard-working Tennessean get a rough ride due to bad policies. I’m running for Congress to change that. Vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social beginning on Nov. 12 to shake up Washington. Election Dec. 2nd #TN7 #AftynBehn

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

How upside down is our world? The White House occupant thinks elected public servants who say the military should not follow illegal orders are "punishable by death." We exactly need public servants to speak out against illegal orders and not be cowed by a man who despises our Constitution.

Weird. Nothing on the @nytimes.com homepage about the President of the United States calling for the execution of members of the opposition in response to their political speech.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

Author Omar El Akkad has just won a National Book Award for "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" about Israel's genocide in Gaza and Western double standards on human rights. Watch our two-part interview with El Akkad from earlier this year.

Obviously Coast Guard is under DHS not DOD but still wild that we're not even 5 years out from the military trying to investigate extremism in the ranks and they not only gave up in 2023 (taskandpurpose.com/news/pentago...) they now are doing this.

Go to ANY Rightie social media comment section and you will find that the commenters want him to ESCALATE this so that the death threats go higher and higher. MAGAts are deep inside their propaganda networks and can't exit. Not now.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Reminding people in the military and law enforcement of their oath and duty to the Constitution is only a bad thing to someone who wants to rip up the Constitution.

Do it ‼️

How sad. Tots and pears. 🤣👏🤣👏🤣
