Outrageous. Britain is being sued in a corporate court, for stopping the Cumbria coal mine. We’ve been saying for years that this system of corporate courts (ISDS) is an obstacle to climate action and democratic politics. Now it couldn’t be clearer

Cùis nàire.

Climate breakdown is an "urgent existential threat” and countries have a legal obligation to act, the International Criminal Court has ruled. We can already see the huge cost of inaction as heatwaves, droughts, floods and wildfires sweep the UK. There's no time left for excuses.

While Trump throws everything he can to distract from the Epstein scandal, the focus on this neo-fascist kakistocracy by every mainstream media outlet (except Fox) distracts us from the ongoing collapse of civilization and sixth great extinction. Sad for every living thing.

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

Don't look up is a documentary, as we keep finding out. H/t @ghostpanther.bsky.social

Elon claims that Grok became MechaHitler because it drew too heavily from X. Very cool that every Congressional Democrat and progressive organization is still on the neo-Nazi website!

In Liverpool 1 in every 4 children have not been vaccinated against MMR (mumps, measles, Rubella)

Just sent out my free weekend update. As part of reality weekend i compare what Biden did for Ukraine and what Trump has actually done. Look, I was more critical of Biden than most, but compared to Trump, he was a Ukrainian lion. Trump has made Russia stronger. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

That means a huge chunk of the world's wealth is based on "stranded assets" - fuel that can’t be used without killing billions, destroying the liveable Earth, and thereby destroying the economy too.

Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine for his puppet-master in Moscow is fully underway. Thousands more innocent civilians including children will die because of Trump. Netanyahu gets a blank check in Gaza, Putin gets to bomb with impunity in Ukraine.

Cartoon from 2017. In 2025, he finally got his way…

In ancient Rome, the rumors of this would spread far and wide and herald great calamity.

Someone asked me today about my plans for the Fall and it took me a moment to realize she meant my plans for the Autumn and not the collapse of civilization.

BREAKING: Iran surrenders after Trump threatens to serve as their president for four months.

"The US National Climate Assessment is more than a report. It is a selfless contribution that the climate community painstakingly compiles, expertly reviews and earnestly delivers to the American people. I am beside myself at losing this resource." Read more:

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

AI bot scrapers are hitting every site on the web in search of training data. This report is the first good attempt to evaluate the impact of these AI scrapers, especially on smaller institutions that are trying to make their collections open to the public www.404media.co/ai-scraping-...

Among other things Melissa Hortman, murdered along with her husband yesterday by a far-right assassin, was a climate champion throughout her political career. I found a few things to that effect.

I didn’t believe this, but looked for myself. Two headlines about the parade … and zero about two percent of all Americans taking to the streets yesterday to protest Trump.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Iongantach faicinn gu bheil Bluesky gu h-obann an-diugh ag obrachadh anns a´ Ghàidhlig! 🙂 🙂 🙂

This ruling is the tiny, delicate thread holding together what's left of constitutional order in the United States. If Trump doesn't obey, the country will have blown through three red lines in two days and the rule of law -- along with the American experiment -- will have effectively been ended.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

“What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians. It’s the result of government policy – knowingly, evilly, maliciously, irresponsibly dictated.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Your 'moment of doom' for May 19, 2025 ~ Oy! "after 50 years of CCS development; after billions of dollars in subsidies; after all the hype, deceits, tax breaks, and guarantees; the oil industry captures about 0.1% of annual CO2 emissions. The other 99.9 % pollutes the atmosphere and heats Earth."

We know. They gave you immunity.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget: -People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000 -People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700 -People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000 This is what class warfare looks like.

A government that not only disengages from climate action but actively destroys the tools, institutions and research data to do so is hating earth itself. In assessing Trump, this fundamentalist dimension of them not only assaulting democracy but the planet itself needs more media attention.

CFPB employees can't own stocks in companies that the agency regulates. A DOGE employee was warned by ethics lawyers that he held nearly $700K in stock in such companies. He then carried out mass firings at the agency – including those ethics lawyers. The corruption couldn’t be any more blatant.

Where does Pope Leo stand on climate change? He believes it's time to move "from words to action" (he's right on that!) and has previously highlighted the actions the Vatican is taking to reduce its own emissions through solar panels and electric vehicles. Read more:

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

A crypto company part-owned by the Trump family stands to earn millions of dollars from a business deal involving a state-backed investment fund from the UAE. The arrangement amounts to “foreign policy for sale,” critics claim. www.wired.com/story/as-tru...

A six does it www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05... Labour lost to Reform in Runcorn by six votes last night. But there is a much bigger story than that, which is that unless we get electoral reform now, last night made clear that fair elections in much of the UK might be over.

We’ve been warning about this on @pivotpod.bsky.social for 6 months now.

The most important graph in the world! Another month of NASA CERES data shows that our planet keeps getting darker as global air pollution, cloud cover and ice area continue to decrease. A warmer planet radiates more heat to space, but our greenhouse gases now keep >4 W/m² in!

The New York Times confirms that Twitter is nothing more than the rigged playpen of a billionaire who lies daily about loving free speech. I think it possible that Elon Musk is the single most pathetic human being alive.
