This is great news!!!!

The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear an argument by #fossilFuel companies seeking to undercut the legal basis for the wave of lawsuits being brought against those companies by US cities and states. By Lesley Clark for Politico's E&E News:

AI wants our water, our land, and our money . . . oh, and apparently the nuclear launch codes.

Proud to be part of tech workers across the industry joining together to protect Americans from violent and invasive AI today. Check out the full statement and signees here: www.amazonclimatejustice.org/anthropic-st...

Like what Musk did to USAID, and want him to do it to the night sky? Then don’t do this comment process—which is, in truth, a little kludgy…but unbelievably important if you value leaving anything at all in this world un-devastated.

Hey Washington state! Yes, it's me. That annoying guy who keeps telling you to email your legislators AGAIN about the data center regulation bill. Guess what you need to do now? That's right, send another email! Before Tuesday at 130 🙏 @troublemakers.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/wash...

Sharing the love on Valentines Day! ♥️

We're blasting breakup tunes and marching in JP and Harvard Square to demand that banks stop funding the climate crisis! @miriamwasser.bsky.social @boston25news.com @nbcboston.com @chronicle5.bsky.social @wbznewsradio.bsky.social @wgbh.org @wbur.org @climatedefiance.bsky.social @xrglobal.bsky.social

XR activists arrested in Harvard Sq while demanding that banks stop funding genocide, ecocide, private prisons and climate crisis! The planet and our neighbors are in danger; we're standing up for them no matter what! @xrglobal.bsky.social@[email protected]

yuck 🤮

Join us TOMORROW to tell Amazon: #DumpICE! AWS has big contracts with ICE, CBP & Palantir On the day Alex Pretti was murdered—in the same week that Amazon laid off 16,000 people—CEO Andy Jassy attended a private gala screening of the Melania premiere. Tell Amazon to stop propping up the regime!

Thanks to @stand.earth for keeping a focus on the behemoth in our backyard that is driving the consumption that will end life as we know it.

Warm air masses in the atmosphere rise upward, causing cooler air from neighboring areas, sometimes from the arctic, to rush in. This is how atmospheric heat powers storms. In other words, global warming causes colder, more intense winter storms. www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxo...

#Target store shutdown in #Seattle! #abolishICE

Hey #Seattle - it's time to get into the streets!

@waisn.bsky.social arrives at the Capitol in #Olympia to demand that the legislature enact protections for our vulnerable community members and accountability for the enforcement officers

The growth-addled political and economic forces pushing us toward ecological doom are many and formidable indeed. That makes it ever more important that people in rich, overconsuming countries like ours come to stand up to the forces of ecocide. https://bit.ly/4t76RcX

By the way, don't fall for this nonsense. Trump's actions have nothing to do with the Nobel Prize whatsoever. That's a deflection strategy. The real reason is that Putin wants to destroy NATO, which Trump's actions will accomplish.

Beautiful #MLK march in #Seattle with @troublemakers.bsky.social!

Terrific music at #Seattle Federal building to demand the end of the #MAGAfascist atrocities in the US, Venezuela and everywhere!

Tomorrow (Thursday) #Seattle comes out to say NO to ICE in #KingCounty #Washington with @laresistencianw.bsky.social. Hope we'll see you there!

No, @nytimes.com (www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/m...), experts do NOT agree emissions reductions aren't adequate to prevent 2C warming. You're using a false premise (see climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...) to justify potentially dangerous interventions (which take pressure off decarbonization)

More, please!

Rally against ICE in downtown Seattle:

You should follow the David Graeber Institute (he wrote some good books too). And I’ve been saying this for a long time. Change does not come from above. They like to take credit for the things people win in the streets. But change does not come from above.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

That makes it murder with special circumstances

This evening, January 7, in #Seattle, we protest the murderous agents of the regime! #AbolishICE

Standing with @veteransforpeace.bsky.social and #SeattleAgainstWar to demand the release of President Maduro and freedom for the people of #Venezuela.

Attention Seattle allies - we're not done yet! 📍Meet us at Starbucks HQ tomorrow at 12pm PST for a picket and speakout, featuring Rep. @jayapal.house.gov, striking baristas, and Girard Montejo-Thompson of Seattle Education Association. RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/seiuorganizi...

I somehow missed this cartoon from my friend & co-author Tom Toles. It perfect captures the spirit of #ScienceUnderSiege, co-authored with my friend @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social:

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Help the people resist unbridled emissions from generators powering billionaires' AI projects! #XR

Memphis Communities against Pollution (MCAP) needs our help fighting xAI's diesel generators! Can you phonebank next Monday or Wednesday? Please sign up! @justinjpearson.bsky.social

Solidarity and resistance to fascist oppression in #Seattle! Glad to collaborate with @saarpr.bsky.social and @troublemakers.bsky.social for this action!

Enforcement under the current regime has nothing to do with "law". It's unadulterated repression. [Gift article]

#BoycottTMobile weekend has begun! It’s time to cancel our contracts. Join us to tell corporate America that siding with authoritarianism is bad for business: actionnetwork.org/forms/i-canc... @teslatakedown.com @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @cwaunion.bsky.social @jesscraven101.bsky.social

For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.

T-Mobile doesn't care about customers, or about how its business dealings affect our future. #boycottTMobile tmobileboycott.org

We went to T-Mobile HQ to deliver 20k petition signatures incl 5k customers asking the company to cut ties with Elon and Trump. They called the cops and told us the company doesn't care what its customers think. Join the boycott: tmobileboycott.org #teslatakedown #BoycottTmobile #weaintbuyingit

And the protesters broke through! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzCF...

Our big #BoycottTMobile weekend kicks off November 14th, but several customers have already dropped T-Mobile! Tony A. of the @teslatakedown.com movement cut ties with T-Mobile ––refusing to support corporations who cave to authoritarianism. www.commondreams.org/opinion/boyc...
