You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

JD Vance calls Pritzker a "criminal." Because facts mean nothing to him.

Trump, speaking in the Israeli parliament, boasts about the weapons the U.S. has provided and says "you obviously used them very well." An estimated 20,000 children have died in the war in Gaza.

This alleged $10 million bribe www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

I can think of somewhere else where the military needs to start saying this

Masked agents snatching people at work, church, their child’s daycare. A return of family separations. States are lining up to run their own detention centers. Anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology. We report from inside the American gulag.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

According to an update on GoFundMe, Barbara Marques has been returned to the SoCal detention facility where she was originally The conditions are poor, and she is still under threat of deportation To advocate for her, contact @chu.house.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @governor.ca.gov

Scary experience, but I admire the calm questions asked by our everyday hero here: "Who are you? Why are you stopping me? Where is your ID?" As well as his answers: "I live here. This is my neighborhood. So I'm letting people know." Keep on letting people know!

Michigan Avenue right now.

Why wouldn’t farms do this? It’s additional income, and provides shade for livestock. It’s a no brainer. If we had a real government, they would be helping to make it easier to get done.

DOJ removes study showing rightwing violence kills far more Americans than other forms of domestic terror: very 1984 of them, don't you think? Chilling.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable! Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Trump's dictatorship is time for making moral choices I talked to the top climate scientist, Penn's Michael Mann, about his great new book - and why he sacrificed a key university post in order to keep speaking the truth against anti-science lies My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/scie...

Great column by the inestimable Will Bunch (Philly Inquirer, aka the Inky) about Michael Mann, climate scientist, climate defender and science defender, now at UPenn. Oh, and, follow both of them. @willbunch.bsky.social @michaelemann.bsky.social @tiaadivest.bsky.social #climatejustice #science

During Climate Week, TIAA-Divest! joined a forum on industrial agriculture and went to TIAA HQ with TIAA participants to take the pledge: "TIAA, if you're still funding fossil fuels and agribusiness by 2026, I'll move my savings to a provider I can trust." There is no retirement on a dead planet!

Missed our lunchtime panel last Friday? Watch the recording: how TIAA's fossil fuel and land-grab investments fuel the climate crisis, and what we can do about it. Watch and share 👉 facebook.com/share/v/1CHy... #DumpTIAA #ClimateJustice #LandRights @tiaadivest.bsky.social

The President of the United States just threatened to arrest Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. We can't stay silent in the face of this dangerous, anti-democratic rhetoric.

Major credit for this victory against Exxon goes to my hero, Diane Wilson (read her book if you haven't, y'all!). If not for her putting up a fight, 3 million tons of plastic pellets per year (mostly heading to Asia) would soon be manufactured from fracked gas at their proposed plastics plant.

Great news! Thanks to resisters, Exxon will postpone plans for a huge new plastics plant on the Texas Gulf Coast. Hopefully forever. Good news for communities, waterways, critters and climate. @tiaadivest.bsky.social

Brazilian environment agency Ibama has notified 12 meatpacking plants, including two operated by #JBS , of an inspection into their alleged involvement in a scheme to buy cattle from illegally cleared land in the Amazon rainforest. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Will Bunch writes about the people shot at an ICE facility in Dallas, with the emphasis on the *people* they are or were, not the mistakes they may have made that gave ICE an excuse to kidnap them.

Sometimes teen boys go looking for extremist content online. Often, it finds them. Julie Jargon and Ben Fritz explore the case of two men who fell down rabbit holes.

Fantastic video of short pledges to move our money out of pension giant TIAA. Powerful testimony by clients, including professors and nonprofit workers. Live, in front of TIAA HQ, on Friday 9/26/25 as part of Climate Week. #StopLandGrabs #ClimateJustice #TIAADivest www.youtube.com/live/5KGL6FD...

Here are the facts about right wing violence as opposed to left wing violence. Hint: left wing doesn’t even come close.

Excellent, powerful forum with Indigenous and Black leadership in defense of forests, regenerative instead of extractive agriculture, & fossil free finance: building grassroots power as we go! Yesterday: learned so much. #TIAADivest @aausa.bsky.social @tiaadivest.bsky.social @foeus.bsky.social

This is important -- More funds for HBCUs, already!

So true. Kudos to Sheinbaum for going to Juarez and celebrating immigrant workers!

See you there!

This past weekend, 20,000 of us took to the streets of NYC for the #MakeBillionairesPay march ahead of #UNGA and #ClimateWeek, demanding democracy, climate justice, economic justice & migrant justice. Thanks to everyone who joined us💪 📣 Stay tuned for more!

Make a pledge to move your money!!!

AARP Foundation Joins Lawsuit Against TIAA for Mismanagement of Retirement Funds

After 49 years and 2 months Leonard Peltier is still not free, but at least not in prison. A beautiful interview by @democracynow.org just after Peltier's 81st birthday.

Don't miss this free forum on Friday 9/26 from 10-6:30 PM: Grassroots Campaigns in Defense of Land, Forests, & Food Sovereignty. From 1-2:30 PM we'll go picket TIAA HQ, 730 Third Avenue. Join us! TIAA funds Big Ag, fossil fuels, & land grabs furthering deforestation in Brazil. #TIAADivest

New documentary by @thegeckoproject shows that soy expansion is driving deforestation in Bolivia. Cargill is one of the largest soy traders in Bolivia, and it's financed by #BNPParibas #BankofAmerica #JPMorganChase

What do we do when our air is under attack? Stand up fight back! Defund fossil fuels!

Big oil & gas have the granddaddy of all tax giveaways: they write off development costs for up to 80% of each new well they drill in the first year... as if fossil fuels are a good idea any more! 😒 But @rbreich.bsky.social says it more interestingly so have at it:

Yup. I went EV for climate reasons, but it helps that it saves money and is a great experience in other ways too. A friend who just bought a used EV asked me, prior to her purchase, how much money I saved in gas. "Last month, $78," I said. See @shreyassudhakar.com post below :)

Attending Climate Week 2025 in NYC? Join us at the Dump TIAA campaign launch. For 5 years we tried to negotiate — no more. If TIAA is still funding fossil fuels and agribusiness by 2026, we’ll move our savings to a provider we can trust.

Fantastic grassroots climate justice forum this Friday 9/26 at The People's Forum all day. Free and open; come, learn, take action! #TIAADivest

1/x 🧵 🔌💡 #Greensky. Hey climate peeps! Here’s a local victory to celebrate, and some lessons from it. Last night, the Town of Poughkeepsie, NY, voted to overturn its 18-month moratorium (6 months, renewed twice) on grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS).
