As Trump proclaims the hemisphere as his & apparently makes plans for Cuba as the next stop in the Idiot Imperialism Imbroglio, I'd love all Americans to read José Martí's beautiful essay "Our America" (1892). A version of a shared hemispheric vision... americanstudier.blogspot.com/2023/05/may-...

some identify publicly with the left because they hate oppression, others because they hate being oppressed. things will make more sense when you keep in mind that these are not the same - or even similar

This too is a kind of climate politics.

Commentary: Data centers are not going away; they are the backbone of the growing digital economy. But without effective policy, we risk letting the industry set the terms. Colorado can lead nationally by pursuing these principles. By @laurengifford.bsky.social

📢Announcing the #COPOut Podcast (our first episode goes live on Sunday)!! Here's info about how to listen and why I'm doing this podcast instead of wasting all that carbon to travel to COP30: danarfisher.com/2025/11/08/i...

These guys are constantly saying that Dems need to abandon identity politics and run on kitchen-table issues. They get the most kitchen table-ass candidate imaginable, spend months saying he's secretly radical, then as soon as he wins they say he's secretly moderate.

First episode of COPOut airs SUNDAY. Tune in to hear from @laurengifford.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @davidho.bsky.social @magnoliae.bsky.social @pammcelwee.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social @frediotto.bsky.social @amywestervelt.bsky.social & more! cece.american.edu/cece-launche...

This Virginia election result is an eye-opener for me, even though I've covered the environmental and health impacts of AI and data centers for quite a while. 👀

Why your professor friends are yawning. This is considered “normal.”

No one is better than the carbon industry at constantly re-branding concepts without changing the fundamentals of the concept *at. all.*

THIS is the hot take of the century. THIS is why we we are experiencing so much strife. We've been convinced we are the problems, and we are supposed to solve things within systems stacked against us. We need better systems.

Zohran! 🎉

As we debate building a new generation of fossil fuel infrastructure for data centers and LNG exports, it's helpful to understand how the last generation's infrastructure is faring. Answer: the fossil fuel industry (and now the fed gov't) has left it behind to poison our communities.

I've just fallen down the rabbit hold of reading reddit posts about carbon project enrollment. You can learn so much reading insights from people who are outside the industry who aren't academics. Please join me: www.reddit.com/r/forestry/c... cc @reddmonitor.bsky.social

I got this sent to me from a Pascua Yaqui undergraduate student in Tucson who is in a soils class this semester. She said it was so meaningful to see not only women but someone from her tribe up there. I just about cried. This work matters. We matter ❤️🤍💙

Check out our team’s new paper about reducing nitrogen losses in US row-crop agriculture, by @mikebadzmierowski.bsky.social. Nitrogen is essential for crop production, but its overuse reduces air and water quality and emits potent GHGs. This paper examines solutions. www.wri.org/research/red...
