Wrote a thing: The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else. Fossil fuel is inseparable from violence, and dependence on it it has created a brutal world order....

hey remember climate change? didn't it have something to do with... oil? I'm sure it can wait.

We condemn the illegal invasion of Venezuela, and we condemn the fossil fuel corruption that led us here. Young people — once again — are the ones that oil billionaires will feed into the meatgrinder of an unjust, imperialist war.

Standing with @veteransforpeace.bsky.social and #SeattleAgainstWar to demand the release of President Maduro and freedom for the people of #Venezuela.

Help the people resist unbridled emissions from generators powering billionaires' AI projects! #XR

Wells Fargo - you can't hide! WF HQ in San Francisco is shut down - every entrance blockaded by indigenous leaders from Standing Rock, Palestinian organizers, and allies. WF must stop financing Big Oil, pipelines, genocide in Gaza, & Trump's agenda. #stopbillionaires @oilgasaction.bsky.social

Today Amazon released its “Sustainability” report. Predictably, what it leaves out is vastly more important than what it says. Amazon is building a dirty energy empire, spending literally hundreds of billions on data centers that will rely primarily on new fossil fuel infrastructure.

BREAKING: MASSIVE win in NYC. Our movement's direct action and pressure campaign targeting Comptroller Brad Lander has WORKED. NYC Pension funds, totaling $285 BILLION, will now be pushed to DROP money managers like BlackRock that do not meet aggressive climate criteria.

Musk may think that a self-driving Swasticab will turn around the fortunes of #Tesla, but who in their right mind would heil one of those?! Getting ready for some tall tales from #Musk in the earnings call, this evening!

Reflecting on the performance by the Mourners at the April 5th #HandsOf rally in #DC: very grateful for the work of @xr-dc.bsky.social and CurrentNoise (www.instagram.com/current.noise/)!

XR Boston disrupted a @massport.bsky.social board meeting to thank them for catering to the ultra wealthy by expanding private jet capacity at Hanscom Field! Billionaires need luxury flights, and when our planet becomes unlivable, we'll flee to Mars without you! www.tiktok.com/@xrboston/vi...

Private jet infrastructure expansion is the height of denial during an era of climate collapse. @chuck77.bsky.social just published this awesome article with The Nation: www.thenation.com/article/envi... "Local activists in Massachusetts have taken on the private jet lobby—and they might just win."

Some governments protect people from the harms of corporate exploitation!

We can't think of a better outlet for our eco-anxiety than a climate justice-themed drag show — on ice! — hosted at two of Philly's fine public rec centers. Join our friends the Bearded Ladies on March 15-16 & 22-23, and DM us to coordinate plans! Info & tix: beardedladiescabaret.com/beards-on-ice

Good climate actions have to operate levers where force can be multiplied. There's a serious argument to be made that making it hard to enjoy a Tesla is one of those levers. Kinda similar to how wearing a fur coat got much less fun at a certain point and now people don't do it much.

The 1% fly luxe. The 99% pay the price. Did you know? Approximately 1% of people are believed to be responsible for about half of all aviation carbon emissions. Private jets in the United States also make up approximately 67% of all private jets worldwide. #BanPrivateJets

The corporate rush to capitalise on a melting Arctic due to climate breakdown is the ultimate proof that capitalism is utterly incompatible with a liveable planet. Collapse is nothing but an opportunity to profit from driving further collapse.

The cause of the fires is well-known. The problem with the political establishment is not the amount of preparation for fire. The problem is the amount of control exerted by corporations and their greedy owners. H/T @davidsolnit.bsky.social
