We no longer have to live in quiet desperation. Thanks to modern ai-powered fascism, precision drone strikes, and live streaming, we can loudly document the obliteration of what used to be called civilization. RIP Amal Khalil #amalkhalil

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Indigenous communities have always fought to preserve our planet. This Earth Day, we honor them by taking on their practices to keep Earth clean for everyone. Our future depends on the actions we take today and requires us to work together to ensure our planet is protected for years to come.

I think it’s good politics to speak loudly and clearly about the climate crisis. Time to end the climate hushing billmckibben.substack.com/p/lets-talk-...

“Our ancestral knowledge is valuable, and it’s not about money—it’s about sustaining life.” Beautiful story that illustrates the need to document the crucial web of life H/T @ontopunk.bsky.social

“This is how surveillance enables authoritarianism. You don’t need to arrest everyone. You just need to make people afraid that you could.” Enabling the authoritarian state with ai-powered surveillance is one of the strongest arguments against ai.

This remains the greatest piece of persuasive advertising ever made about electrification. It's insane to me that Nissan dropped it & it's insane that no one on the green left has picked it up to make it a national PSA.

Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day. climateintegrity.org/news/view/br...

Update: The U.S. military targeted yet another civilian boat Sunday, killing 3 more people. Thank you to @theintercept.com for your important work tracking these illegal, immoral strikes. There must be accountability. And Congress must finally put a stop to this shameful and senseless killing.

If we’re to find a way forward, stories will play a central role. Looking forward to this. H/T @phoebebarnard.bsky.social

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

Already more than 500 signatures since we launched this morning. Let's keep it up.

So TinyHands is now threatening the pope with his imaginary version of the Epstein files? He’s beginning to make the Joker look sane

Wonder how the pope feels about KegBro quoting Pulp Fiction as the bible. Has there ever been a member of the cabinet with a worse case of foot-in-mouth disease?!

“Really, the Doomsday Clock is a symbol of hope. The whole point of this clock is to, yes, to alarm people, to inform people, but also to demonstrate we can turn back the hands of the clock. And we’ve done it in the past, and we can hope to do it in the future. And we must.” - Daniel Holz

American exceptionalism is like the arrogance of youth. We refuse to see how we are following the same path of imperialism as all the other “exceptional” empires.

Last week this man was Chamberlain to his own Hitler. This week he is Judas to his own Jesus. One can pile up the blasphemies and the ironies or one could just say that this man is unwell.

Great interview of former Palantir employee, which begs the question, can legislation control the kind of power being unleashed by ai!?

The video of the future minister of health in Hungary is superb …. One day the world will be celebrating like this when we get rid of all the dictators - starting with Trump & Netanyahu.

This is an exquisite study on power - truly marvelous!

Great piece as always! In terms of reconstruction, I think we need to do more than imagine. At the core of this failure is the inability to see the necessity of interdependence. And in order to realign with life we need to honor diversity as a requisite component of evolution.

‘Hybrid organ’: how a union of trees and fungi could revolutionise forest management A “microbiome transplant for young pine trees”!

Trump’s latest proposal to gut the U.S. Forest Service isn’t about efficiency—it’s about walking away from the stewardship of our nation’s forests. Fewer firefighters during fire season, less protection for watersheds. Doing so without Congressional approval—that’s why we are fighting back! 🌲

The DNC needs to change their name. Not supporting 80% of your voters means you are NOT democratic.

Thank you Mark and @profbobhowarth.bsky.social I have long been astounded that this low-hanging fruit has not been pursued. Well, not that astounded, given the oil and has lobby.

Thought-provoking essay by @enjohnston.bsky.social “We forgot that a thriving whole is the most baseline need that we have; it cannot be “balanced” against other needs, because it lies at the root of every one of them.”

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

Let's pray that Trump considers the hard and human reality of “collateral damage”...

Whenever someone says "there are no civilians in [country]," they are making an argument for genocide.
