@governor.ny.gov climate realism is knowing that adding fossil fuel infrastructure instead of renewables is causing unnecessary death and breaking NYS law

reminds me of the new piece by Desai et al @ how carbon majors promote renewables bc they're trying to prevent climate action

I enjoyed talking about the unsurprising hypocrisy of this admin saying the US needs to harm whales to be energy independent while cutting investments in renewable energy that don't harm whales with @mariagallucci.bsky.social

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

"Even if you produce more oil than you consume, you still pay the same global price for oil everyone else pays & thus still suffer from supply constrictions & high prices."

This basic, elementary fact -- global energy markets 101 -- refutes basically the entire GOP energy policy & worldview.

Here's a headline that seems to describe this activity more appropriately:

Dept. of Interior bribes oil company $1B from taxpayer coffers to stop wind power

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

“The Actual Harm Was Worse Than What Was Being Recorded”: Accounts of State Violence and Elite Capture in Fossil Energy Infrastructure Construction in a Sacrifice Zone Construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), a 42-in. diameter, 303-mile fracked gas pipeline through Appalachia, was mandated by the US Congress in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The ....

New article out in Antipode today about fossil violence through the US state (pre-Trump 2):
how gas pipeline construction was violence by a gas company and US gov decisionmakers against the communities along the pipeline route

Would it have been so much worse if it had been a nuke? Consider the fact that birth deficiencies and rates of leukemia and cancer in Iraq, post 2003- invasion, are worse than what was observed in Hiroshima. In Japan, rates of leukemia rose by 660% in the years following the bomb. In Falluja, it increased by 2,200%. The toxicity of war has never been greater, and we are in no way reckoning with the scope of the horror that's been unleashed.

The real damage comes years later, with elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issues.

This is chemical warfare, with delayed carnage. Worse than radiation sickness.

I am ashamed to be American today.

A++ greenwashing for fossil fuels by @nytimes.com. WTAF. Especially infuriating to give American Petroleum Institute the last word after an interview with brilliant writer and climate activist @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social — whom I highly recommend you read and listen too!

NYT, get it together.

jokes on them nerds love a deep dive

Seeing this shared on the same day that @chanda.blacksky.app shared an article about a drop in non-fiction readership makes me wonder whether there's some push to convince researchers/journalists not to do deep dives

"how could we possibly afford a just transition"

good thing we've stopped federally subsidizing residential renewables & started a third gulf war while approving loads of new data centers, what could go wrong

AI: Does not compute Building fossil-fuel infrastructure to power data centers is a poor bet. Renewables are by far the cheaper, faster choice.

Amory Lovins has entered the chat:
"Today’s AI mania rhymes: Gas and nuclear vendors that can’t beat energy efficiency and renewables in competitive markets are leveraging hype into mandates and subsidies to rescue their losers."

Because of lobbying by the fossil fuel industry

wow

After my ICE arrest, I learned one crucial way to respond to trauma. We can all take part | Rümeysa Öztürk I was detained for co-writing a op-ed about Gaza as a student at Tufts. My experience has only made me feel more connected to others facing oppression

Dr. Rümeysa Öztürk is using her experience of being unlawfully arrested and detained by ICE to advocate for children facing human-made trauma, including children in ICE detention and living under conflict.

Data Centers Are Driving a US Gas Boom Gas projects in the US pipeline explicitly linked to data centers increased by almost 25 times over the past two years, according to new research from Global Energy Monitor.

This but for everything we would want from a new government. What could good government look like here?

@schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social @repauchincloss.bsky.social

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding

We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

Massachusetts has lucemass.org! Stay safe ❤️

@warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social @repauchincloss.bsky.social

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

@repauchincloss.bsky.social as your constituent this is what I will vote for and canvass for in your district
