“They want us to be afraid...But fear is what keeps people isolated." Since he was 14, Cesar Vasquez has been supporting undocumented families & helping keep his community safe from ICE. No child should have to worry whether their parents will come home. bit.ly/3NdrRys

Proof that Netanyahu has been trying to stir up war with Iran for 30 years…

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. “We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.” www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

You cannot afford rent. You cannot afford groceries. You cannot afford to get sick. They found a billion dollars a day for bombs. The money exists. They just decided you don't deserve it.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The SAVE Act has not passed the Senate, yet. It includes voter ID & Trump predicted that if the bill passed, Democrats wouldn’t win an election for half a century. “This is the No. 1 priority.” This is about voter suppression so Democrats can’t win. We should all demand free & fair elections.

On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility

The Guardian: Iran has largely halted oil and gas exports through strait of Hormuz. At least four tankers have been struck by drones and maritime traffic has dropped by 80%. When gas prices soar, remember your money is going towards keeping the Epstein files secret. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

This thread runs through 1933 Business Plot, profiting off Nazi Germany/Holocaust, JFK assassination, Iran Contra, Iraqi War, 2008 Financial Crisis, Covid pandemic, Ukraine War, Israel's Gaza genocide, crimes of aggression on Venezuela & Iran. It involves Epstein, billionaires & Zionist extremists.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Yes, I miss thinking the Koch brothers’ climate disinformation & political manipulation were the worst oligarchs could do. The #technofascist billionaires bros (Thiel/Palantir etc) are far worse as they use AI surveillance for Trump's authoritarianism & aim to dismantle democracies (US, UK, etc).

Cubans are in the dark, literally. Trump’s fuel blockade has left thousands without electricity, and people are taking to the streets in protest. His response? He called it Cuba’s “last moments of life.” These are 11 million human beings, not a takeover target. 🕯️ El pueblo cubano no está solo. 🇨🇺

Francesca Albanese: "precisely because this darkness is now so visible, the genocide sheds light on something essential. Who are those supporting this system, in govts, in the financial system, in universities, in media?"

As we witness the horror of attacks on desalination plants, we need to be aware, on a warming planet, conflict over water, using water as a weapon of war, & targeting people seeking water is on the rise - in the past 4 years, it's nearly doubled: share.google/p0PrSGiLMdz0...

Actually, something *has* changed: the more climate catastrophe we experience, the less we want to deal with it. The traditional assumption that being negatively affected by climate catastrophe will lead to more climate rationality has been thoroughly falsified. steady.page/de/friedlich...

When today’s children ask why leaders chose short-term profit over livable air, water, and soil, the record will show the warnings were clear. Climate science spoke plainly. Politics stalled. The cost will not be measured in markets, but in harvests lost.

A Spanish-speaking reporter who has been critical of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was snatched during a routine traffic stop by agents who didn't have a warrant. Estefany Rodriguez Florez, who'd been producing stories critical of ICE taken while sitting in a marked news vehicle.

"It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s “huge humanitarian caseload.”

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them. I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

No country in history that has concentration camps has ever wanted to call them concentration camps. That’s who we are now.

The Western media is bending over BACKWARDS as a propaganda machine for this war.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

A conversation earlier today reminded me of this slide I put into a recent talk. How did we decide the tiny human-sized machine is the special case, and the massive overpowered machine full of empty furniture is the norm?

And here is added context for readers re: why climate change has been a major factor in causing winter extreme warmth in the US West and extreme cold in the US East: www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/c... www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/c...

Update: According to Prism via @climatologist49.bsky.social the US had its 2nd warmest meteorological winter (Dec-Feb)! Folks in the East much really be shocked at this. But the entire West has been baking!

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

“I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars." Everything this man says is a lie. Far too many still don’t get it, which is a tragedy we’re all – across the world – suffering from.

Jewish Voice for Peace denounces the immoral and illegal war on Iran launched by the United States and Israel last night. These attacks expand the endless wars that could destroy the lives of tens of millions of people.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally. Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help. The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there. It will help your heart.
