Katy, TX ('burb west of Houston) SHOWED UP. One of the organizers said there were over 1,000 of us! So many drive-by supporters. My heart is full. I'm scared to say, but I'm almost downright hopeful...

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

HAPPENING NOW: A MASSIVE crowd of protesters flood the streets of San Diego for a “No Kings Day” rally showing their love for America and standing up against the corrupt fascist Trump administration. look how huge it is

Protesters in Milwaukee are kicking off their 1.8 mile march through downtown for No Kings day

Made it to my second #NoKings of the day in Plano, Texas. This has a well over a thousand attendees, lots of honking, and more animals.

Went to No Kings gathering in Marble Falls, TX, a county which voted 80% for Trump, and more than 500 folks gathered on bridge over Lake. Wow. So Amazing.

Let's go in October! Sharing this hour with others lets me know I'm not alone in this fight.

Breaking — FEMA Acting Chief Counsel Colt Hagmaier just resigned in an email to staff. He's worked at the agency for more than a decade. Hagmaier's resignation comes immediately after two FEMA employees were placed on leave for comments about Charlie Kirk. Text of his email shared with me:

I'm okay, just shaken up and sad. Like 50/50 on if they clocked me or just saw my bumper stickers and went off

I've a feeling Mr Farage might very much be regretting his trip... round about ... Now 👇

About time. I gotta love attorneys sometimes. insideclimatenews.org/news/2908202...

Apropos of nothing, a reminder that German stock markets kept climbing in an almost uninterrupted fashion in the run-up to WW2. Investors are really, really bad at pricing serious institutional and political risks.

The US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit has affirmed that it violates the Constitution to exclude timely received mail-in ballots just because the voter failed to handwrite in the correct date. Thrilled to partner w/@eliaslawgroup.bsky.social on this. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Welcome progress in making climate science a little more operational (and responsive). (This is what we were talking about in our opinion piece last year: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/o... @hausfath.bsky.social )

Once the American people understand that Trump's lawless abductions of their hardworking neighbors are helping to ruin health care and affordability, they'll turn hard against Trump's masked "border security" and "public safety" goons. from @gelliottmorris.com

Aug 26, 1965 - “Climatic Change appears to be underway” – the commencement speech that should have rocked the world Carl Borgmann at University of Tennessee; "CO2... traps heat from the sun, and climatic change results – not overnight, but slowly and surely” allouryesterdays.info/2025/08/25/c...

Imports of solar panels to Africa rose by 60% over 12 months to June 2024 If installed, Sierra Leone imported enough solar to generate 60% of 2023 supply PV imports to Algeria up 33x; to Zambia, Botswana & Sudan over 6-fold; tripled to DRC, Angola, Ethiopia www.theenergymix.com/africa-could...

Start thinking of the global south as leaders in the energy transition.

Do you ever think about how the fine for peeing in public is substantially more than the fine for dumping tonnes of CO₂ in public?

A good way to honor this Reuters photojournalist assassinated by the Israeli government in a targeted airstrike on the Nasser hospital is to read and watch his work.

Saxicolous (stone) lichens, in some places thought to live for 11,500 years, challenge basic concepts like species, and some consider them more akin to actual ecosystems. Their symbiotic relationships can be viewed as metaphors for resistance, resilience, and interconnection.

Any attempt by future Reform/Conservative governments to prise solar from the hands of farmers in the name of protecting the countryside will be fascinating to watch. A quarter of farms now draw income from it...

If BBC local news gave even a fraction of the attention it gives to nimbyism to the dual climate and biodiversity crises, it's just possible there'd be less nimbyism.

We had actual an actual assassination of a Democratic legislator in Minnesota two months ago & it’s completely disappeared from the National Conversation™️. This happens <all> the time over & over again 👇

I can’t wait for Trump’s ghost to get his ass kicked by Teddy Roosevelt’s for all eternity

Some move on groups* are doing phone banking if you want to encourage people in other states to call there rep *deleted earlier skeet cause I said indvisible.

Sadly not true. They knew. Kids even used to play "concentration camp."

I've been talking about this for years but the fossil fuel industry has five key narratives, they haven't changed much in decades, and they just shift between them/combine them depending on what is happening in the world. Made a quick and dirty flow chart to illustrate it:

the president may not like the idea of spending $7 billion on after school programs, but it IS NOT UP TO HIM. what this administration asserts, again and again, is that the president has sovereign authority over nation

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time if you live in a GOP state it’s time to ruin a House rep’s life

The fossil-fueled weather is delaying the House GOP passage of the fossil-fuel behemoth that is the One Big Brutal Bill Act, as storms juiced by greenhouse pollution cancel flights to DCA.

In October 2024, multiple top-tier media outlets told me their editors wouldn't approve stories on our Project 2025 modeling because Trump disavowed the plan. And here we are. heated.world/p/this-is-ex...

If only someone would have warned us.🤷🏾‍♂️ Y’all still penciling in protest dates?

I know we are bombing Iran now, but I wasn't done being mad about this

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Fuck an impeachment. Arrest that son of a bitch and keep him in prison until his descendants are all dead.

Jesse Welles #fastfolk song production remains insane.... "Sometimes You Bomb Iran" youtu.be/Vcc3kdxbLYI?... #JesseWelles "Be the change in the regime you want to be in the world... That Palantir is one hell of a drug... Same playbeook as 2003 - looks familiar to you, looks familiar to me..."

thinking about this again, no reason

Remember the trans rights music festival I threw? Yeah, the money went to this.

Five federal firefighters, who spoke anonymously because they are barred from speaking publicly, were asked if their agencies were ready for fire season. The answer was a resounding “no”. “If this turns out to be a major fire year, it’s going to be a shit show.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! Arctic sea-ice extent just set a new record daily low on June 19th, beating the previous record set on June 19, 2016 by about 26,000 square kilometers. Will there be a new all-time record low this year? Stay tuned!

"The climate has been barking at us for decades. It’s now beginning to sink its teeth into humanity. Every single way of avoiding further harm involves the rapid phase out of fossil fuels. Denying that is madness." jamesdyke.substack.com/p/the-climat...

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

I cannot stress this enough: When a system is on the brink of nationalisation because of mismanagement - DO NOT let the government negotiate with the outgoing operators. LET THE BUSINESS GO BANKRUPT. THEY ARE JUST GUNNA TRY TO SADDLE THE PUBLIC WITH THEIR DEBTS. ARE YOU FUXKING LISTENING?!
