A stanza from a 1971 poem (Diane di Prima, Revolutionary Letters) Tribe an organism, one flesh, breathing joy as the stars breathe destiny down on us, get going, join hands, see to business, thousands of sons will see to it when you fall, you will grow a thousand times in the bellies of your sisters

This really is quite something. In the 15 years @carbonbrief.org have tracked UK media, 2025 was first ever year where more newspaper editorials opposed #climate action than supported it. Meanwhile, the *actual* climate crisis deepens by the month. Go figure.

incredible and shameful there isn’t international condemnation of the united states for collective punishment of 10 million people

Mark Carney's all-in on fossil fuels, & the announcement of the new sovereign wealth fund is clear further escalation of that ecocidal focus. Where private investors are unwilling to take those colossal risks, your PM plans to take them with your money. 🌎🔥Arson isn't in the national interest. 🧵 1/

"There's no pockets in a shroud." Something my father used to say that came up in conversation about disgraceful aging yesterday.

Is the change in Sam Vimes between Jingo and The Fifth Element the greatest leap in his development? Maybe. @tansyrr.bsky.social explores Vimes in his middle three books in this new essay, at www.speculativeinsight.com Free to read - tell your #Pratchett loving friends!

This is a very good thread. Necessary. Important. Please read it. There’s an unrolled version here: skywriter.blue/@kevintmorri...

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

On Twitter I once shared that transport accounts for only 3-6% of food-related emissions, and the vast bulk of food emissions are from land use & ag production, and WHAT (eg beef) matters way more than WHERE. I woke up to hundreds of angry responses from people in the UK who produce or eat meat.

A more meaningful question is: Should we expect the largest climate policy in Australia to be little more than a clearinghouse for bullshit offsets...? You need to learn about the scheme to be able to change it. I have developed a couple of resources to help with that. The first is this guide:

History is made by those who show up, and that is exactly what's happening in Santa Marta. There are 60 countries here, academics from all over the world, Indigenous people, civil society, all here to do one thing: figure out how to phase out fossil fuels. www.forbes.com/sites/we-don...

There is a huge shift in climate politics happening RIGHT NOW in Santa Marta, Colombia. Countries are meeting to discuss a treaty to phase out fossil fuels -- the one issue that #UNFCCC has studiously avoided for 30 years. 🧵

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

As a result of the illegal war on Iran, Canada’s oil giants are raking in billions they didn’t earn and don’t deserve. It’s time to stop war profiteering and return money back to Canadian families and communities. Take action: 350.org/canada/theyp...

Earth Day isn’t a birthday party for the planet. It’s a yearly audit. Air: still polluted. Water: still poisoned. Forests: still falling. Celebration without accountability is just branding. Demand policy, not just posts. #EarthDay2026

🚨 Indonesia is greenlighting one of the largest deforestation projects on Earth: 5 MILLION acres of Papua’s pristine forest cleared for sugarcane. That’s an area bigger than Wales, gone for bioethanol and crops.

NEW: “The initiative is less an advocacy group & more a communications intervention. Its premise is blunt: the reason so many good urban ideas stall isn’t because they’re wrong—it’s because they’re losing the narrative war.” Read about us in @momentummag.bsky.social! momentummag.com/urban-truth-...

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

We’ve been asked by podcasters and interviewers how much of an impact an initiative like ours can have on the well-funded tsunami of disinformation & lies holding back better cities for people. The answer is up to you. You determine our impact by choosing to follow us & share our content. Thanks!

Watching over the environment isn't some touchy-feely tree-hugging policy afterthought. Get it wrong, and your drinking water kills you. Exaggeration? It's happened before. And the Ford Ontario government is currently dismantling the services that will keep it from happening again. Please read this.

HAPPY BOOK RELEASE DAY TO THE WONDERFUL IVY GRIMES! I fell in love with this novella & all the characters the moment I read it, and I'm so excited to see it flying out into the world at last, glowing with aurora light. Ivy's voice is so unique and this book is a brilliantly weird & magical gem.

Fossil fuel shills lie that natural gas expansion is good climate news by serving as a "bridge" away from coal use. Research consistently verifies that methane is more harmful to the climate than coal, with short term greenhouse impacts that are 33% worse than coal. 🧵1/ r.pebmac.ca/https://news...

No Kings protests in Barrow, Alaska- the most northerly town in the USA. #nokings

At #nokings Palo Alto today: Ode to Joy, played at a flash concert.

“Once rare, 7-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average sale prices surging 28% in 5 years to approach $50k.” Designed-in car dependency, surging car AND gas prices, longer loan periods with more interest. Sound like “freedom?”

Hungry for change?

“I’m here because they’re fucking building concentration camps that they’re locking tens of thousands of people in."

I spoke with @richard.wickedproblems.earth about the Trump Administration's investigations into climate groups, how it's connected to a broader policy of limiting free speech and assembly, and why it will backfire. Check out the full conversation (with a nice cover) here 👇

All I want from my government representatives is for them to hold the line. That's it. I don't care if they don't have the votes. They have platforms. I can't get a 10-minute spot on a cable news program. They can. And they should use those platforms to shine a beacon on fascism and corruption.
