Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues. Cheerful. Funny. Gentle. And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Thousands of Minnesotans marched in downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. The wind chill was 30 below during the march. Hundreds of businesses closed their doors Friday in support of the protest as activists urged Minnesotans to abstain from economic activity.

Randa Abdel-Fattah said she accepts the board's apology and will consider invitation to participate in 2027 event.

Every day there are attacks on oil, coal, gas infrastructure in Russia’s war on Ukraine and now people in Kyiv have no heat when the temperature is -19. Fossil fuels are at the heart of so many wars still.

As the climate crisis melts ice, it's opening up vast new swaths of oil and gas in the Arctic. I've been covering this topic for years and was at a conference in Norway a few years back at which everyone assured, "the next war for oil will be the Arctic." And Trump likes chaos and power.

Friendly reminder that we call eggplant eggplant because the "normal" eggplant used to look like this

This Adelaide Festival stunt is a way to bully and publicly humiliate Randa Abdel-Fattah for sure, but it’s also to squeeze out Louise Adler for making too much sense in the past. Two birds, one stone. The harassment machine continues apace.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Trump giving a press conference with a table full of oil executives on Venezuela’s oil….. have been reporting for months how this wasn’t about drugs but maybe it’s still not clear….

The silencing of activists continues. India govt is in effect saying opposing fossil fuels going against Indian interests. www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/m...

If you think Trump's comments about capturing oil in V aren't sincere because the country has bad, old and inefficient fossil infrastructure, I regret to inform you that all fossil fuel infrastructure is bad, old and inefficient and none of these people actually care about the process or product

So much that is happening in the world means that I am looking forward to reading Amy’s book more than ever, I know it will definitely help connect a lot of the dots that have been hidden from us (on purpose)

Takeaway from this Aug 2025 article: - big oil wants in to Venezuela - Chevron has stayed while Exxon was kicked out - Exxon-backed NGOs have pushed for action while Chevron-backed have not.. Guess who won that one?

Explosions heard over Venezuelan capital Caracas amid US tensions https://aje.io/fbwc6j

The US has ~15,000 troops assembled in the Caribbean. It is not enough to invade and take Venezuela. But the assembled force is enough to bomb Venezuela heavily like the US did to Yemen last year.

Explosions have been heard and plumes of smoke are rising in the Venezuelan capital Caracas, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent there, amid spiralling tensions with the United States. aje.io/pv5l3e

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
