Tens of thousands marched through Midtown Manhattan and the local paper of record appears to have ignored it. Way to go, @nytimes.com

Organizers say 25,000 marched in Midtown Manhattan today to #MakeBillionairesPay

By the way, that's Kathmandu at sunrise in my profile pic.

My conversation with Jane Hirshfield yesterday got very real. Thanks so much to Jane, and to everyone at @haymarketbooks.org for making it possible, especially John McDonald. The recording is available below on Haymarket's YouTube channel. Take good care, everyone. 🙏🏻

My latest for @thenation.com is an interview with veteran Nepali journalist Kunda Dixit about the stunning turn of events there in the past week. Did Nepal just have a revolution? www.thenation.com/article/worl...

I profiled the great poet & eco-advocate Jane Hirshfield in a feature for @thenation.com, now included in my book Learning to Live in the Dark. Tomorrow, 9/16, at 5pm ET, Jane joins me in conversation about "faith, humanism, and radical solidarity in a time of catastrophe." RSVP below...

This is good, and needs to be said. I'm glad they published it. (though it may be time to reconsider the name of the magazine).

Learning to Live in the Dark Join @learning2live.bsky.social of @thenation.com and Jane Hirshfield for a conversation on faith, humanism, and radical solidarity in the face of fascism and climate catastrophe. Tuesday, September 16th at 5 PM ET RSVP to attend: www.tickettailor.com/events/hayma...

Welcome to fossil fascism.

I had a deep and wide-ranging conversation with XR Radio @xrglobal.bsky.social about climate + fascism and my book Learning to Live in Dark: Essays in a Time of Catastrophe (@haymarketbooks.org). Big thanks to hosts Matthew Kearney & Alycee Lane. www.spreaker.com/episode/lear...

First, stop thinking like a "climate movement."

wondered for years if there's literally anything that could happen that could dislodge some people's weird personal resentments from the center of their political analysis. pretty sure the answer is no. some people's diaries from the camps will be about what nouns other leftists should've used most

I thought the whole point of UChicago's whole right-wing friendly "free speech university" schtick was that it would keep them from being attacked by Republican administrations the way the Ivies are. Turns out it doesn't matter. www.insidehighered.com/news/busines...

No showers, sleeping on concrete floors: The “squalid” conditions for immigrants in NYC

Comrades of mine in NYC were part of this. Wish I'd been there. We need more of this kind of righteous action. Much more. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

"“If this volume just grows even more, we simply have a societal situation that is not bearable anymore because it is just too much risk that is no longer covered,” Thallinger told CNBC..." whatever politicians pretend to believe about climate, this is what they know www.cnbc.com/2025/08/08/c...

Yeah the smoke has been dimming the sun in eastern MA for days now, and nobody seems to notice, as if this is "normal" now. It's not normal. Or rather, it's normal for a rapidly heating, burning planet. Which is the most abnormal thing in human history.

Update: L.A.’s ginormous Eland solar + storage project is now fully operational. My colleague @hayleysmith.bsky.social was there for the ribbon-cutting: www.latimes.com/environment/...

New from @michaelfakhri.bsky.social ‘Israel has built the most efficient starvation machine you can imagine. So while it’s always shocking to see people being starved, no one should act surprised. All the information has been out in the open since early 2024.’ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Great to see this. On Friday 30 of us were arrested, led by many of these same frontline community members fighting for their lives, at Citi CEO Jane Fraser's condo in NYC, demanding Citi stop financing ecocide/genocide from the Gulf South to Gaza. See: www.instagram.com/p/DM2xOISsbD...

Earlier today, police arrested mass numbers of Jews and people of conscience at the offices of Senators Schumer and Gillibrand in New York City as they chanted, "Let Gaza Live," "End The Siege, and "Let Aid In Now."

The air I breathe and the water I drink everyday isn't poisoned by fossil fuels - and the banks that finance them - like they are for my Gulf South & Global South comrades. I'm here for them and for everyone & everything I love.

These comrades from Gulf South communities in TX & LA don't have the luxury of giving up. Fossil capital is killing them right now. They came all the way to NYC to tell Chubb, AIG, Blackrock, and Citi to stop insuring & financing crimes against humanity from the Gulf South to the Global South.

📣 THIS FRIDAY—we’re going SHUT CITI DOWN! Citibank continues to fund fossil fuel projects that are poisoning + displacing communities in the Gulf South. They also continue to finance g*nocide and starvation in 🇵🇸. Join us as the frontlines rise up! www.climatedefendersaction.org/gulfsouth

Heading to NYC for this. Gulf Coast LNG expansion is among the biggest greenhouse bombs on the planet, and exposes overburdened frontline communities, aka "sacrifice zones," to ever greater risks. A lot more of us need to show up in solidarity with these communities, and take some risks ourselves.

🧵Yesterday’s trade deal is predicated on forcing the EU to buy more US oil and gas—specifically triple what it imports now. Lots of scoffing among the data crowd. Fantasy or not, achievable or not, the fight against further #LNG build-out just got even harder. 1/4 www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...

"I’m barely eating. There’s not enough food for me, so how can I have enough milk for her?” Today in @thenation.com: Mothers in Gaza are trying to keep their kids from starving to death. But they're starving too. Please, please listen to them. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

The final chapter of *Learning to Live in the Dark* (@haymarketbooks.org) - www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2523-l... - is a new essay called "The Desperate of the Earth," in which I read Frantz Fanon in the context of Gaza and global climate justice. Here's where it ends up:

"The US bank is among the biggest financiers of planet-warming oil and gas companies, with $39bn in fossil fuel investments in 2024 – a 30% rise on the previous year, according to the most recent annual Banking on Climate Chaos report." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Icymi, this was yesterday in SF and NYC. Such an important campaign.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

“As the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. [H]umanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.”

"Faced with the systematic destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza, other states must together produce a systematic, comprehensive and concrete response. If not now, when? What more would it take to convince them?" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The International Court of Justice declared that states have legal duties—not just moral ones—to protect the climate. This landmark opinion, writes @panthealee.bsky.social, is part of a years-long campaign that began with university students.

This book by @learning2live.bsky.social is lifting me OUT of a dark place. Highly recommend. #hope

"...at least 17% of the global-south population ... more than 880 million people, live in slums. ... [Many] are situated in areas that face substantial flood exposure. The study identifies northern India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Rwanda and the coastal regions of Rio de Janeiro as notable hotspots..."

A complete and total capitulation of an institution, a brand, the commitment to free speech, academic freedom, and dignity. This is unimaginably terrible. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/n...

The final chapter of *Learning to Live in the Dark* (@haymarketbooks.org) - www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2523-l... - is a new essay called "The Desperate of the Earth," in which I read Frantz Fanon in the context of Gaza and global climate justice. Here's where it ends up:

This just in from the UN's highest court: "The human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment is essential for the enjoyment of other human rights." Yes, friends, a habitable planet is a human right. How hard are we willing to fight for it? www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Say what one will (and I have many times) about reckless climate optimism and magical thinking, etc., the point here is that there's every reason to stay in the fight. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

These are rough times. I'm reading "Learning to Live in the Dark" by @learning2live.bsky.social right now. It is helping.

The @drilledmedia.bsky.social podcast season + this multi-part @grist.org story (both reported and written by the great @alleenbrown.bsky.social) is such a cool package all together, and delves into some critical never-before reported details: grist.org/project/indi...

Bill's new book, Here Comes the Sun, may well be the most important he's ever written. Read it. Then help create the political revolution we need. (You can read about that in my new book.)

This just came out from @haymarketbooks.org and I really like what I've read so far: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2523-l... #BookSky

Yeah, I'll always regret that I was far too polite back in 2014... @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/arch...
