ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

ICYMI: blunt messaging around what’s really necessary for better cities anywhere in the world — including the need to call out the misinformation and conspiracy theories used to attack new/old ideas. I also discuss our current Exhibition at Paris City Hall inspiring real climate action from cities.

Just a reminder that RFK Jr shouldn't be running a lemonade stand, let alone the US healthcare system.🏥 He's not only totally unqualified, but DANGEROUSLY ignorant, pushing wild conspiracy nonsense that has no medical evidence whatsoever.⛔ MAGA laps it up, of course.🤨 www.yahoo.com/news/rfk-jr-...

Justice ISN'T compromise.⚖️👀 Because those who have no use for it will lie, cheat and hurt you anyway. A better future is created only when the majority refuse to treat with the intolerant. Any society that tolerates racism, misogyny, bigotry or hate is doomed to fail. Painfully.

Republicans have been taken over by a Christofascist group that intends to impose a Christian authoritarian rule on all of America. I'm shocked that America isn't fighting back harder. This is shocking & terrifying. They intend to suppress all liberal thought. If you want your freedom, FIGHT BACK.

Pretty much. The goal of Project 2025 (which Trump DENIED involvement in 2024 but PRAISED last week, saying he's meeting with its founder, Russel Vought) is to create a Christofascist country ruled by Donnie and his backers, discarding any laws they don't like. Hell on Earth for 99% of Americans.🤨

Small island nations participated in a climate-action survey. Flooding, polluted water and extreme heat are nearly daily occurrences. Belief in human-driven climate reached 100% (Marshall Islands, Turks & Caicos). Combatting climate change must be a shared effort. www.earth.com/news/on-the-...

History repeats.

Why is this not getting any fucking attention? 😡

Every hot and cold beverage tested, including soft drinks, teas and coffees, contained microplastics--even drinks not sold in plastic bottles. This adds to the growing evidence that microplastics are everywhere, making their way into the human body. www.healthday.com/health-news/...

Rest in peace, Dr. Goodall.😞 The legacy of your tireless advocacy for a better world will live on in the millions of people you inspired for generations. 💚 #JaneGoodall #RIP #environmentalprotection #environmentalist #inspiringwomen

80% - 89% of the world’s population wants to see #climate action. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Quite the headline on this @annamerlan.bsky.social and @kieraevebutler.bsky.social joint www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I reckon a fossil fuel being heavily promoted at climate week is a bad thing

Myths about the COVID vaccine spike protein abound. Don’t buy the hype. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/a...

John Oliver explained the risks 8 years ago.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

New interview with Greta Thunberg in Barcelona yesterday by Middle East Eye. The climate activist and arguably the leading humanitarian voice of our age is about to set sail along with dozens of ships from dozens of nations to bring urgent food and medical aid to millions of people in Gaza

I cannot tell you how many capitalist climate people came after me when I warned against assuming we could reverse overshoot of 1.5C w carbon removal. Well. It turns out that the maximum possible temperature reversal might be as little as 0.7C. End fossil fuels now.

SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧

Going to school shouldn’t be like this for children or adults in the United States. The murderer who terrorized this school was a white supremacist.

Wow. When I first read about this I assumed this was an anonymous letter. But turns out they had the courage to sign their names to it knowing the consequences of a highly vindictive Trump. Lots of respect.

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.

It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...

Knowing how to recognize and react to trolls, bots and Big Oil agents who are trying to mislead you about manmade climate change is vital to motivate the public to embrace climate action. @sciencenotdogma.bsky.social

"If the facts don't fit your agenda, change or remove them entirely." 😡 US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report—its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming. phys.org/news/2025-08...

"The US government has declared war on the very idea of climate change" by Zachary Wolf for @cnn.com: www.cnn.com/2025/08/01/p...

My wife and I loved Robert Reich's film, THE LAST CLASS. Clearly, Professor Reich is passionate about his teaching and cares deeply about his students and the lives they will pursue after graduating from college. See the film!

Exxon marketed this Louisiana carbon capture project as a climate solution. Now, it will use captured CO2 to drill for more oil. The announcement came days after Trump expanded public subsidies for enhanced oil recovery through carbon capture. www.exxonknews.org/p/exxons-new...

The EFF is 35 years old but the battle to defend internet freedom is far from over, Cindy Cohn tells @theregister.com – omniscient government databases, shadowy data brokers, and judicial overreach still abound.

"Trump Hires Scientists Who Doubt the Consensus on Climate Change" by @maxinejoselow.bsky.social for The @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/c...

Infuriating. Not to mention 100% illegal.

Wilhelm Reich’s 1933 book - The Mass Psychology of Fascism - concluded that a key characteristic of fascism is the ability to derive joy from inflicting cruelty.

In case you're wondering how eager Trump's administration is to turn America into a fascist state, today's passing of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' is a giant leap in that direction. It's given ICE the budget to become a nationwide force of Brownshirts ready to do the Great Leader Donnie's bidding.🤨

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal. It’s a bookstore. Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.

You won't see a better example of #climatechange denial than the current US government today. Under the 'guidance' of Trump, America is flat-out pretending that climate change isn't happening, so Donnie's Big Oil backers can make more profits as our planet burns. Tired of him yet?🤨 Impeach him!🍑

Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Cal.) dresses down RFK Jr. on the fake citations in the MAHA report: "You and this administration are undertaking vast changes to our federal public health system [...] Yet [the data] you are relying upon is isn't real."

SCHRIER: Have you ever treated measles? RFK JR: No SCHRIER: Well I have. Let me tell you how miserable these kids is. The great thing is there's a vaccine to prevent it ... they only work if you actually give them

If you're taken in by misinformation in one area, you're more likely to believe misinfo about OTHER vital issues AND be more vulnerable to conspiracy noise: www.scientificamerican.com/article/peop... Anecdotally, I've noticed this in chats with trolls over the years, who collect misinfo beliefs.👀

Powerful actors (corporations, governments, and political parties) intentionally spread misinformation about #climatechange. The results: a decline in public trust, diminished policy coordination, and a feedback loop between scientific denialism and political inaction. www.ipie.info/research/sr2...

Today is #ShowYourStripesDay! 😊 On June 21st each year, individuals and businesses around the world can highlight their country's or city's "climate warming" stripes and share the powerful visual message of today's rapid climate change they convey. Get your custom ones here: showyourstripes.info

A new study says we may under-trust true news more often than we're fooled by fake news. The path forward is not just debunking fakes but also building trust in real info. Tools like crowdsourced fact‑checking can help strengthen our ability to recognize true stories. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is the right image to use for a heat wave; not one of children playing in the fountain or people frolicking on the beach.

"As former ACIP members we are deeply concerned that these decisions, made without clear rationale, may roll back the achievements of US immunization policy, impact access to lifesaving vaccines, and ultimately put families at risk of dangerous preventable illnesses." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
