The idea that insurance premiums are a good way to mitigate climate risk to housing is a common misconception that, unfortunately, can obscure real solutions to the risks of climate change and perpetuate existing inequities. Why is that? Well... 1/8

We keep telling you about Gavin. This is who he really is.

I can’t handle the abundance bros. Infinite economic growth is not possible if we want any kind of habitable planet, solar powered or not. Techno-optimism is not that far from the tech industry death cult being forced on us now. Just stop, already.

A local columnist seriously misunderstands why climate legislation fails in the California legislature — it's not that we have weak evidence or bad arguments — it's that the oil companies are major campaign funders decade after decade, which buys them real power. www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/29/e...

In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

we’re beyond abolishing ICE. These masked terrorists must be held accountable.

Respectfully, this is not an answer, @rweingarten.bsky.social. The materials you are pushing are not "meeting the challenge." They're showing teachers how to incorporate OpenAI products into their work. OpenAI products are telling people to kill themselves. Please address what is actually happening.

“Another challenge that Louisiana had [in the aftermath of Katrina] is that most of their National Guard troops were in Iraq. And most of their equipment from the Louisiana national guard was in Baghdad.” BRO.

This is why you cannot support someone for any office who wavers in their support for trans folks. Do not listen to people who try to tell you that, "no one is perfect." It's not about perfection, it's about supporting people who will FIGHT for rights. Can't defeat fascism with fascism-lite.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I have heard about a whole lot of hate being directed to our trans community. Anyone using this to villainize our trans community has lost their sense of humanity."

Honestly, who isn't depressed about *waves widely* all of this?

Breaking: After months of uncertainty, most of the staff of EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights were subject to a Reduction in Force on Monday, leaving the office effectively gone. Trump has made clear the disdain he holds for both environmental justice and civil rights.

Whenever my ma sees a commercial with Bobby Flay, she complains about how it was rigged that he beat the Korean chef on Beat Bobby Flay 😂

"Disconnected from the grid after Hurricane Ida, New Orleans went without power for 10 days. That dark week marked the beginning of a social movement that has become a political cause." @boyceupholt.bsky.social spoke w/ New Orleanians fed up with unaccountable energy providers and ready for change.

Great new paper out by Sebastián Solarte-Caicedo et. al. In the paper, they discuss pitfalls of NGO-led socio-technical transitions in off-grid communities can unintentionally produce new energy vulnerabilities and argue for centering local agency for better, and more effective, outcomes.

The policy is indefensible.

TODAY!!! Come hear @alybatt.bsky.social talk about her brilliant new book!

If I was this bad at my job, pretty sure I’d get fired.

People are in motion everywhere and no one action is "the silver bullet." That means that there are many many things to join and that you don't know what will make THE difference. No one thing will. That's actually OK.

You know how there’s that one small thing that just gets under your skin? Mine is, “speak English!” This stupidity is why I don’t speak Korean as well as I could bc teachers told my mom I would grow up w/ an accent if I spoke korean. It was dumb then and is now. Guess what- English isn’t that great

No trucking and no overseas mail. Good luck to us

perhaps next time dont put BlackRock peeps and China hawks in charge of designing green transformation.

A good way to honor this Reuters photojournalist assassinated by the Israeli government in a targeted airstrike on the Nasser hospital is to read and watch his work.

Feeling this auntie so hard rn

Ford recently announced a new platform for an "affordable" EV. It's important for at least 2 reasons: 1) Signals Ford's commitment to EVs despite Trump policy reversals & tariffs 2) Though untested, they are already bragging about "efficiency" aka workforce reduction www.freep.com/story/money/...

The thing where everything this fascist government does is, "North Korea," is not only tired Orientalism, but it ignores the very threat that is homegrown. You can try to pretend that it's some foreign problem, my white dude, but the call is coming from inside the house.

It was literally just two dudes who decided to separate Korea so miss me with this, "what are we NOrTh KOreA??"

"Mamdani’s proposals would make the city more livable for working people while improving public goods — from transit to child care — that benefit everyone, including those footing a slightly higher tax bill."

On the 21st of August 1971, the popular socialist president of Bolivia, Juan José Torres, was deposed in a US-backed coup following his move to convene a People's Parliament of workers and peasants. He was replaced by a violent right-wing military dictatorship, with Nixon's support.

Here's a news story covering Sean's comments & the subsequent retaliation. Judge for yourself, but to me, this is our LA public transit showing how, bit by bit, institutions let fascism take hold. This is a matter of democracy, not just a job. Please share widely: lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m...

Five journalists, including Maryam Abu Daqqa, a freelance correspondent and photojournalist who submitted invaluable reporting to AP, were killed by Israel in a double airstrike on Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. Maryam was 33 years old and leaves behind a 13-year-old son.

One of the things I admire most about @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is that she makes sure to call out shitty behavior while also destroying bad faith argument with facts and expertise. We need more of this

I deleted an earlier version because of a typo (editing function when). But gutting NEPA is what the abundance bros want to do. We should ask why they are so aligned with ultra conservatives…

#GAZA: Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, including a freelance journalist who worked for @apnews.com. At least 8 people were killed in a double-tap strike on the 4th floor, Gaza's Health Ministry said, the second attack came as rescue crews arrived.

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

Santa Cruz just put in a protected bike lane on one of the main roads and it’s great, and I don’t even bike! Before, people used to drive stupidly fast but now it forces them to slow down and makes the bikers more safe. Win-win

My story about Revolution Wind dropped. Trump just halted construction of the offshore wind farm due to "national security." NEW: Navy, Army Corps, and Coast Guard raised "no major military issues" during a 2009-2015 federal task force that sited Rev Wind where it's now being built, says insider.

once again, i'll suggest that perhaps the reason the broad public thinks democrats are weak is that when confronted with situations that demands that democrats loudly and proactively stand up for their values, democrats shirk from the fight
