Saturday 11/15: #No Trillionaires Day of Action San Jose

Adaptation 🤝 Mitigation

subscribe to local news in cities dealing with surges of ice/cbp/national guard / federal agents. these reporters are providing some of the only documents we have concerning the acts of our government against civilians, against immigrants.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

Fossil fuels burned anywhere = climate chaos everywhere. This is what climate injustice looks like. via @greenpeaceafrica.org

The math is MATHING and the results are IN. 📈 Working people stood up and sent a clear, powerful message at the ballot box. Candidates who prioritize workers—like Mamdani, Sherrill, and Spanberger—won BIG. The power of a united front is undeniable. Let's keep this momentum! seiu.co/47nSgRo

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Read about the Gates memo in the news? Wondering what @kimcobb.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @weatherwest.bsky.social, @sammyroth.bsky.social and I think about it? No need to wonder: @coveringclimatenow.org is hosting a free webinar panel. Join us THIS AFTERNOON:

"The Amazon rainforest, historically fire-resistant, is experiencing an alarming increase in wildfires due to climate extremes and human activity." Extensive fire-driven degradation in 2024 marks worst Amazon forest disturbance in over 2 decades Bourgoin et al 2025 bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

From the report: "A 25% reduction is needed for 2030 emissions to be aligned with 2°C pathways" A "35% reduction [in emissions by 2035] is needed to align with 2°C" Which will it be: 2030 target: ~5.5% reduction EVERY year starting 2026 2035 target: ~4.22% reduction EVERY year starting 2026

The current level of anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere is insane, we are past the 2023/2024 anomalies and the +1C vs 1991/2020 Note specially the anomalies from 30N to 80N: It's brutal and there is not a bit of hype here. It is what it is: insane Maps kudos:Tropicaltibit & Ryan Maue

Buying groceries hits different when 42 million of my fellow citizens don’t have SNAP benefits. Doesn’t matter what food bank donations I’ve made or what gift cards I’ve purchased. Going to the goddamn farmers’ market feels like living in gated community now. And they’re just potatoes. Fuck this.

So not exactly #NaNoWriMo for me. But the intention is to work on initial draft of my nonfiction @novasutras.bsky.social book, at least 5 hours per week, all month. Some of it is new writing, some of it is outlining, some of it is revising and reassembling prior work. But it's building the 1st draft

New paper: Global methane action pays for itself at least six times over - "reasonable actions could reduce climate-related damages in 2050 by more than a trillion dollars a year" #climatecrisis www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

Merci beaucoup to the French court for smacking down the greenwashing merde of TotalEnergies, the 7th biggest corporate fossil fuel polluter who just announced plans to expand gas production. It's the first time France's Greenwashing law has been used against a fossil fuel company.

The extent of sea ice on our planet is still the 3rd lowest on record for this time of year. Unfortunately, as a result of the U.S. government shutdown, there is no data to assess last month's average global ice volume/thickness (provided by GIOMAS). More graphics at zacklabe.com/global-sea-i....

Having been involved with this report for the past 5 years, overall takeaways IMO are: - Good news: we know (in great detail) the things the 🌎 needs to do to stay w/in 1.5°C! - Good news: we are doing many of the things! - Bad news: we’re not doing ANY of the things at the necessary speed or scale!

UPDATE: The Trump administration has dispatched more than 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to Alameda and they will begin to arrive Thursday, according to a source.

Climate change, the gift that keeps on giving.

This was really powerful! ICYMI, the recording is available now - youtu.be/PJg-3LlfLgE #biodiversity #conservation #exctinction

The banned words include “tax breaks" "tax credits" and "subsidies." Good to know the Energy Department is so hyper-focused on eliminating every single obstacle standing in the way of... [checks notes] increasing our energy prices. ✅

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s. This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice! The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.

On Friday, I'm talking with a transit expert about the authority governors have to shift the final year of Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill funding away from highways, to EVs, transit, & pedestrians. Many governors do not know they have this authority! And this year is a crucial window! Questions?

Historic win for nature and climate! Today, at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, the world’s largest environmental network of governments, civil society, and Indigenous Peoples voted to recognise fossil fuels as a root cause of the biodiversity and climate crises for the first time in history.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

actionnetwork.org/events/befor... Really excited to host this amazing biodiversity scientist, in just a little over 1.5 hours, for an online conversation! #ExtinctionRebellion #ScientistRebellion @srti.bsky.social @scientistrebellion.bsky.social

For women and children especially, so much really is at stake here…

A 60 second summary of some of the biggest and best sights from #NoKings Day. Congratulations to every single organizer, volunteer and attendee👏 History.

I've done social change work for years, and a common barrier to change is waiting for the next "charismatic leader". The advice I always give is to stop waiting for the next Dr. King, and start supporting the knowledgable people in your local community who step up every time there is an issue/need.

Thousands attend 'No Kings' protests across the Bay Area KPIX | CBS NEWS BAY AREA Oct 18, 2025 #news From San Francisco to Oakland, San Jose to Walnut Creek youtu.be/pFrYtLq8J5o?...

My 🥼 friends in @srti.bsky.social marched behind the Fascism Runs on Fossil Fuels banner, with signs that read Trust Science Not Dictators! #DontSilenceScience

There are too many of us to ignore. #NoKings

Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

Oakland is OUT and LOUD to say NO KINGS #NOKINGSOAKLAND #NOKINGS

This weekend we say #nokings. And we've got #friendseverywhere. Trump & #FossilFueledFascists say we're terrorists, that we hate America, & we're too old to matter. They're wrong - except that many if not most of us are, in fact, anti-fascist. Learn more & RSVP www.198methods.org/2025/10/03/f...

RSVP to join Tuesday's conversation about stopping extinction, with Dr. Gerardo Ceballos: "Before They Vanish" actionnetwork.org/events/befor... Part of our #BuenVivir talk series - www.srturtleisland.org/events/buen-...

Calling all scientists and science supporters! You can help make Saturday's No Kings the biggest day of protest in modern American history. Find an event near you and raise your voice for the facts, evidence, and truth we need to protect our democracy. #NoKings

🧪 NEW STUDY: Parkinson’s disease is linked to exposure to a common solvent, trichloroethylene, formerly used as a dry cleaning fluid and as an anesthetic gas, and to degrease metal parts and which now contaminates up to 50% of US drinking water sources. 1/2 www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/...

Leading economist: Continuing fossil fuels is "futile" because it leads to mass-death and economic collapse. The fossil fuel industry's product isn't oil, or gas, or energy — it's murder and theft. Full stop.

Maybe we should stop listening to those who say decarbonisation will be too disruptive and expensive And start listening to the experts warning that inaction will be much, much worse

Billionaires hate this one weird trick!! Talking to your neighbors and realizing you actually have a lot in common and it’s not left vs right, it’s all of us against the billionaires.

In #Ecuador, the defense of social rights and nature cannot be silenced with repression. No to the criminalization of social protest! The demands of a people fighting for a just future and respect for Pachamama must be heard. Silencing voices is an attack on life itself! ▶️ bit.ly/xrlatam 🧵1/2

Schools around our area are creating parent patrols - response teams to raise alerts if ICE tries to snatch teachers. THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

1/ This week, there have been at least three dangerous chemical releases at industrial facilities in Texas, including an explosion at a plant in Mount Belvieu that injured three plant workers.
