"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."
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
Horrible. Arson attack today at Mississippi’s largest synagogue, on Shabbat, destroyed multiple Torahs and left parts of the building in ruins
Unfortunately, my house was the target of a pipe bomb threat on Saturday evening. This is a result of the D.C. political pundits for redistricting. Thanks to the Oldenburg Town Marshall, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the ISP, all is okay!
A new post by a Republican state Senator in Indiana, saying she will "not cave" on redistricting as she shares that she was just the target of a pipe bomb threat to due "DC political pundits."
This is what @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social has been fighting for over the last several months—more moderate Dems and the moderating effect they’d have on the party. I hope he’s happy with this taste of success! @joshtpm.bsky.social
Wow. just wow. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋
Immersive media, used with care, can help us feel what we can’t fully understand—and move us to act.

Trump's vengeful tone shows he genuinely doesn't support First Amendment rights. He's an instinctive tyrant waging war against America's Constitution & founding principles.
As Benjamin Franklin warned, "Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech."
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Why is @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov breaking his word to help save Bay Area transit? It is just appalling and politically idiotic.

It's the time piece I want to focus on. The key thing about the benefits of a clean energy system is that, once we've transitioned, *we will enjoy those benefits for the rest of our time on earth*. Every subsequent generation of humans will enjoy the benefits. They will accumulate & accumulate.
It was a pleasure chatting with @weareagog.bsky.social's @chipgiller.bsky.social and James Pollard of @apnews.com about how philanthropy can support science, ethical and inclusive AI and the power of immersive reality....

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet
Awful to hear of these deaths. It’s horrendous to me that one needs to worry not only about actual antisemitism but how governments could use this as a license for wrongdoing.
The same kind of folks who spent years complaining about masks that slowed the spread of disease are now wearing masks to facilitate the spread of fascism
Word on the street: Leo is a climate guy!
pope having a totally never trump twitter account is just way outside any of my expectations
We won’t bow to pressure to move away from our climate commitments.
Today we're demanding the retirement systems’ managers strengthen their #NetZero plans consistent with their fiduciary duty—or we will find new managers who will.

Turns out that building a dedicated audience and relying on it for support was the way to go. It's not necessarily an easy path either, but at least there's alignment, with a core set of folks helping to pay for the actual journalism being produced.
I remember countless conversations with VC types & business-school grads wondering why @grist chose to be, and remain, a nonprofit, and why it wasn't rolling in easy money, starting in the dotcom era through all of Buzzfeed's chapters.
California now has 50% more EV charging stations than gas pumps 🤯

As the US forfeits leadership on climate (and essentially all else), it's important to remember the role that federally funded science played in identifying the very challenge of climate climate.
This piece by my mentor and friend @billmckibben.bsky.social, powerful and true, is such an accurate summary of the state of things.

There is so much going on, so much wreckage, so much evil, I wouldn’t even have spotted this awful thing in motion if @katzish.bsky.social hadn’t called it out:
