As #COP30 officially starts today, a look at how various actors try to obstruct UN climate processes, with @cssn.org's Kari de Pryck and Eduardo Viola drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

There’s not a single thought Ross Douchehat has ever had or ever will have about women that’s worthy of anyone’s attention. Hope that clears things up

"In fact I often have the same concern about folks working in media that I do of folks working in climate: not enough of 'em have ever had to make a dollar stretch and it makes them absolutely terrified of standing up to power. That is not the juice we need in this moment."

"Do you really think (big tech) just accidentally kneecapped the fourth estate and gave themselves the power rich guys have been frothing at the mouth to attain ... the power to control public opinion? If so, then I'm afraid the dummy is you and I'm sorry you had to find out this way."

Lots of important stuff but this specific bit is INCREDIBLY important and something I hope those all us who do some form of public communications and rely on the intensely difficult work of reporting hear drilled.media/news/media-b...

Amy again explaining the importance of understanding the difference between opinion writing/talking and the hard work of actual journalism/reporting and the history behind the constant pressure to confuse audiences into thinking they are the same or even similar (they are not)

We should vote only for those who promise to make billionaires history. We need a great levelling, through tax and redistribution. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

can we stop pretending The Free Press was "an outlet" and remember that it was a substack? please and thank you. she's done a great job of creating the illusion that she is a journalist who was running a newsroom, but she's an opinion writer with a newsletter, no need to repeat the lies folks.

SCOOP: Trump Has a Secret List of 24 “Designated Terrorist Organizations.” We Got Some of the Names. The U.S. claims it is engaged in “armed conflict” with Tren de Aragua, Ejército de Liberación Nacional, and Cártel de los Soles, among others. theintercept.com/2025/11/07/t...

It surprises me that Musk’s arrogant, autocratic, incompetent, mistake-prone, drug-addled, and deadly reign at DOGE is not mentioned. Nor does it discuss his Nazi salute, support for far-right political causes, and turning Twitter into a purveyor of lies and hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/b...

First episode of COPOut airs SUNDAY. Tune in to hear from @laurengifford.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @davidho.bsky.social @magnoliae.bsky.social @pammcelwee.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social @frediotto.bsky.social @amywestervelt.bsky.social & more! cece.american.edu/cece-launche...

A lack of media prevalence has led the public to think that they are in the minority for wanting climate action. The reality is that most ("roughly 80 to 89%") want their governments to do more. See @amywestervelt.bsky.social's piece in @thenation.com. www.thenation.com/article/envi...

Newsrooms often hear more from those who doubt the science, leading many to believe that climate contrarianism is more prevalent than it is. @amywestervelt.bsky.social @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/envi...

Mamdani: My message to I.C.E. Agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

I have a history of planning to go to COP and then those plans suddenly getting derailed, but so far looks like I'll make it this year. I'm going to report on a couple of very specific things, but am also curious to see what happens when the U.S. opts out. ANYway, other journos who are going, hmu!

What a fun thing to learn about via an in-flight announcement www.bbc.com/news/article...

I know I've said this before, but from advertorials to false equivalence the media really needs to own up to its role in warping the climate issue. www.thenation.com/article/envi...

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

The media has been one of the channels through which climate disinformation has flowed as part of coordinated and well-funded campaigns from the fossil-fuel industry, writes @amywestervelt.bsky.social.

"classy"

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

Remarkable investigative work by @propublica.org to dig what’s really happened in Portland & who is to blame for the violence. Like Chicago, it shows it’s the federal agents who are out of control. Read every word. www.propublica.org/article/port...

🚨Potential supermajority in the Virginia House of Delegates for @donscott757.bsky.social and @abigailspanberger.com. Not something I thought I'd be tracking tonight.

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

i love watching them wear the egg on their faces

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

this is objectively hilarious

Dick is dead Zohran is mayor the earth is healing

Seriously, Georgia voters are FED UP. Two statewide utility commission races absolutely crushing 2024 national numbers.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section. www.thecut.com/article/teen...

The way to ensure independent/non-oligarchic media is to really support it. Not just by posting about the latest round of layoffs and consolidation. Before and apart from that happening.

Holy moly. Isabelle Boemeke had "input" on draft orders aiming to deregulate nuclear power in America. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... @roycerk2.bsky.social's piece in @drilledmedia.bsky.social on Boemeke is here: drilled.media/news/rad-fut...

Devastating. Must-read gut punch of a post about a quiet hero, the nitty gritty of stand-out climate coverage, and the Trump era silencing of this stand-out voice in mainstream media.

Great coverage from @emorwee.bsky.social of the first entire unit to be let go at CBS News under new management: the climate team 🙃 heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

even maga's fundraising appeals read as grooming texts

YES! And I hope every one of us who has the resources supports any business that is doing this. Black-owned especially! Go spend your money here and tell this beautiful human you're doing it because they are doing this.

Between this and the Louvre prosecutor describing the suspects’ statements as “minimalist” while bragging that they had worked on the case over a weekend it’s an absolutely incredible week for Frenchness

“we will rule you forever with an iron fist of suffering” is maybe not the most compelling message any administration has ever had

His worst offense was reorienting the entire Paris agreement away from affordability toward innovation through his Mission Innovation side show in 2015. China went the route of deployment, we decided that we needed to focus on innovation instead. www.wsj.com/articles/oba...

Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.

"UN refugee agency official Jacqueline Wilma Parlevliet said that the new arrivals told stories of widespread ethnic and politically motivated killings, including reports of people with disabilities shot dead because they were unable to flee" this keeps getting worse www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

In which @chrislhayes.bsky.social calls for the work that many social scientists (like me 🙋‍♀️) are already doing! FYI my colleagues and I would be happy to share what our research finds about the relationship between public opinion, knowledge, and behavior, Chris—just ask!

The USDA has more than $5 billion in emergency funds available to cover SNAP benefits but is refusing to spend them during the government shutdown. It's the first time in the history of the program that the federal government has refused to spend those funds
