In Apocalyptic Authoritarianism, I also show how there is an apocalypse-infused & authoritarian-aligned nostalgia among traditional figures of power who long for a return to an imagined "golden age" of postwar America, understood to be before the Civil Rights & pro-democracy movements of the 1960s

With her new book Apocalyptic Authoritarianism, I argue that @hannamorris.bsky.social deserves mentioning going forward alongside @naomioreskes.bsky.social and @amywestervelt.bsky.social. Building on their insights she nails something unique about the state of climate discourse.

Thanks so much @richard.wickedproblems.earth for the wonderful conversation -- I truly enjoyed the chance to share ideas and talk a bit about how my book can help us navigate politics right now. You can check-out the interview below: news.wickedproblems.uk/p/apocalypti...

Breaking Google up was one of the last best hopes for preventing the free press from getting squeezed into oblivion and harvested into AI slop, and for saving the open web. The ruling that effectively lets Google continue operating as a monopoly isn't just disappointing, it's a disaster.

Under Trump 2.0, it's time for the national press to "let go of its one-sided portrayals that denigrate pro-democracy climate activists" and engage with those who are pushing for transformative climate action. @hannamorris.bsky.social

I'm excited to share an article I wrote for @earthislandjournal.bsky.social! I draw upon my new book & the concept of "apocalyptic authoritarianism" to make a case for how the media can better navigate Trump 2.0 by learning from mistakes made the first time around www.earthisland.org/journal/inde...

When dozens of Katie Pasitney's 400-odd ostriches started dying in mid-December, the Edgewood, BC farmer, never imagined that her herd would become a front in a far-right movement’s battle to sow mow mistrust in government institutions.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

Chilling report from Brown University. Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities. Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.

Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

Available for pre-order! @hannamorris.bsky.social unpacks the realities of climate journalism in the wake of dramatic polarization across the U.S., identifies the developing authoritarian political reaction against climate activists and migrants, and shows what more robust journalism can look like.

So basically Musk is dismantling every US government agency that is either investigating him/his businesses or could impede him/his businesses in the future, and gathering all intel useful for him while doing so (USAID included - which was conducting a probe of Starlink terminals it purchased)

After his inauguration in 2017 Trump lashed out against the powerful #NoDAPL movement and approved construction of the DAPL in one of his first acts as president. And now again he is making his enemies clear by eliminating all environmental justice protections. earthjustice.org/press/2025/e...

Always surprised how many folk on social media are unaware that highly visible women online regularly get threatened w/ rape and other violence. Happens to every woman w/ a substantial following I know, has for a decade regardless of platform. And no, authorities don’t care and that’s no solution.

Nearly 1 in 6 women serving in Congress have been victims of nonconsensual sexual deepfakes, our Research Director @sophiemaddocks.bsky.social spoke to @19thnews.bsky.social with @ninajankowicz.com about how gendered abuse threatens the future of democracy @annenbergpenn.bsky.social bit.ly/3VEwsKV
