I have been forwarding this edition of @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter to everyone I know. The impact of Musk and Trump's cuts to USAID didn't hit right away, but they are hitting now. And in Somalia and the DRC it looks a lot like racist culling. billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-question...

Hard to overstate how fast this work is growing. Many thanks to great leaders at @thirdactorg.bsky.social and many other places!

The War on Wind Power Is 190-Proof Trumpism by @billmckibben.bsky.social "A policy that feeds both President Trump’s appetite for corruption and supplies his narcissistic hunger—well, that’s a twofer that can’t be missed." www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum... @commondreams.org

Well, Chevron has figured out their candidate. Always helpful to know who Big Oil is rooting for. As for me, I think Tom Steyer will take on the oil and utility industries, and save Californians a bundle. Which is why those industries hate him.

From @ayanaeliza.bsky.social and @vfajans.bsky.social, a stirring riposte to Gov Hochul's climate nihilism, which really is a disgrace. New Yorkers "will remember who delivered and who failed them." time.com/article/2026...

I've just heard from my dear brother @revyearwood.bsky.social that his esteemed mother, Dr. Myrtle Yearwood, died on May Day. She asked that instead of flowers people contribute to the Hip Hop Caucus Voter Education Fund, especially in light of last week's despicable Court ruling respectmyvote.com

In the same sentence she calls climate change a hoax and then despairs about the biggest wildfire in Nebraska history.

Hey wow @billmckibben.bsky.social called me and @volts.wtf “redoubtable” in his latest always-essential newsletter! Great writing, as usual. I learn a lot in each newsletter (links!) Fun story: McKibben’s also the most-proximate reason I’m on the climate tip. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

"Liberal Protestant leaders in America have pushed back in their ways, but their ways often go unnoticed. Virtually no reporter ever seeks out the head of the Methodists or the Lutherans or any of the other sects that once dominated American religious life."

Very powerful piece here by @billmckibben.bsky.social: Big Oil Breaks Everything open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Brilliant evisceration by @billmckibben.bsky.social of the corruption caused by the fossil fuel companies over decades. When historians write about this period, they will be aghast at the evil decisions made by those companies and their facilitators. billmckibben.substack.com/p/big-oil-br...

Sure, Trump started the Iran war But he’s ended it at least six times. Give the man a prize…

If you read one thing today ... An essential article by the great @billmckibben.bsky.social billmckibben.substack.com/p/big-oil-br...

"When I started writing about the climate crisis in the 1980s I was in my twenties, and I didn’t fully comprehend that there could be a force on this planet so steeped in greed & power that it would sacrifice the earth & its inhabitants for its own narrow interests. But there is, and it’s Big Oil."

The Catholic bishops have just made crystal clear the reason that the pope is right and JD Vance is wrong: A just war can't be a war of choice, which this one clearly is. This is a crucial theological, political, and moral argument, and the clarity here is needed and powerful

The evangelical magazine Christianity Today has a good article today really going after Trump--and it does it with a fairly resolute defense of the Pope, which is not historically the way these things have worked. www.christianitytoday.com/2026/04/trum...

The #GreatOhioClimateMarch sounds like lots and lots of fun, and a source of real power!

I keep thinking about how happy Hungarians must be tonight Imagine if we'd had Donald Trump for 16 straight years....

This Methodist is highly impressed by the three cardinals who took on Trump on 60 Minutes tonight--they were focused, tough, straightforward. The Catholic church is emerging as a potent center of resistance. As one said, "We're better than this." www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/were-bette...
