🚨NEW: Working-class households have been facing higher rates of food inflation than rich households because of corporate concentration, according to new Federal Reserve data. Corporate monopolies have been more able to reduce competition & jack up prices in poor locales.

Donald Trump’s push to acquire Greenland has alienated many longtime allies. But it has tantalized a cohort of tech billionaires who see the island as a potential laboratory for “freedom cities,” or privately governed zones without regulation or democracy.

"The study found the heat that helped fuel bushfires that have burned more than 400,000 hectares (about 1m acres) and destroyed nearly 900 buildings since January was likely about 1.6C hotter due to the climate crisis."

Grateful to join @democracynow.org this morning and talk about the kind of "war" ICE is gearing up for: wapo.st/49VUZ4w

“The promises of lower electric bills, good jobs, and climate responsibility, she said, remind her of cigarette ads she saw decades ago touting the health benefits of smoking.”

Not good enough but a step. Getting rid of him does not mean getting rid of ICE.

This is correct. This is what everyone needs to hear and know in their hearts, especially right now.

Guess which one’s the terrorist?

The danger is not that neoliberalism is ending, but that it is being replaced by something worse: a world of militarized competition, eco-fascism, and technocratic management of permanent crisis. Acknowledging the collapse of the old order is not the same as building a democratic alternative to it.

And he destroyed democratic socialism in Canada last April without firing a shot.

Mark Carney’s deal with Alberta’s Danielle Smith is the climate sell-out of the century. @sethdklein.bsky.social joins @desmondcole.bsky.social to break down everything it contains, including pipelines, AI data centres, and a rollback of almost every Trudeau-era climate policy.

I'm sure this is fine. 😳 techcrunch.com/2025/05/22/a...

moreover, these aren't random acts of stupidity. There's a fossil fuel agenda very much behind these disingenuous lies (as I've written about in "The New Climate War", and the forthcoming "Science Under Siege" w/ @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social)

God, is Maria really that stupid?

$28,000,000,000,000. 28 Trillion that’s how much in climate warming disasters that scientists say 111 companies have caused us. And the new study names names. www.euronews.com/green/2025/0...

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming. Could these be the real culprits? The evidence is in--and the answer is NO. This thread explains! 🧵

For anyone who missed @tzeporah.bsky.social 's excellent talk on the need for a Fossil Fuel Treaty in Edinburgh last Saturday you're lucky - we recorded it! Catch up on all you missed here: youtu.be/V1Ko9de0jJc #EndFossilFuels #FossilFuelTreaty #climatejustice

Trump is trying to ban states from holding oil and gas companies accountable for climate costs, and make working people clean up polluters' mess. @makepolluterspay.bsky.social's new poll finds it's wildly unpopular. 71% of voters, including 55% of Republicans want polluters to pay their fair share.

Canada's mini-Trump. We *must* avoid what's happening in the U.S.

We now have the technology to stop one of these . . .

You say you don't like the reality that hundreds of communities in Oregon are at significant risk of high intensity wildfire? Then just repeal and bury the maps that taxpayers paid for to evaluate the issue.

Beware the "doomism/geoengineering nexus". Here's a classic example of how exaggeration of the facts (warming in fact has NOT yet crossed the 1.5C Mark: www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources/ha... ) is being used to justifying dangerous techno-gambit w/ the climate: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So inspiring to have @tzeporah.bsky.social, founder of the #FossilFuelTreaty, with us in #Edinburgh today. Join us in calling on the Scottish government to back the call for the treaty, spearheaded by some of the world's most climate vulnerable countries. 1/2
