RJK Jr. has done next to nothing to limit microplastics and declined to propose restrictions on ultra-processed foods or pesticides.

The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."

This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

EU's pledge for $250 billion of US energy imports is delusional There are strong echoes of Donald Trump's failed trade deal with China from his first term as U.S. president in the framework agreement reached with the European Union.

Reverend Kirsten John Foy spoke at the Good Trouble NY presser on July 17.

Tens of thousands of protesters gather in Foley Square, NYC for Good Trouble Lives On protest. There are many signs and American flags.

Protesters kneel and sit in the streets outside of 26 Federal Plaza with large posters of people who have been taken by ICE. One person kneeling has their fist raised high in the air.

Protesters kneel and sit outside of 26 Federal Plaza. One person in a “No Kings in America” T-shirt stands, staring at the ground in a moment of silence.

People place flowers in the gated fence that surrounds 26 Federal Plaza.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets today in NYC.

After marching, we surrounded 26 Federal Plaza—the building where ICE is kidnapping people and tearing families apart.

We sat in solidarity with those taken, and left flowers for those lost.

On Monday at 10am Pacific Time, I'll host a live YouTube office hour discussing the broader context surrounding the catastrophic Texas floods this weekend (including debunking some widespread misconceptions). I'll also discuss the upcoming California heat. http://youtube.com/l...

A quick🧵about the devastating Texas flooding -- and how it connects to climate change. ⬇️

It’s outrageous the complete disregard ICE shows for our communities. Trespassing and urinating on school property is unacceptable under any circumstances, but doing so when children may be present is absolutely indefensible.

How different the past years might’ve been if @maya4rights.bsky.social was our Mayor. No corruption, pettiness and collaboration with the Trump regime. Just principled, progressive leadership focused on results.

I was so honored to receive Maya’s #1 rank endorsement this morning in Harlem.

Holy shit, New York!

Is the planet losing one of its best ways to slow climate change? The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose last year at the fastest rate on record. The spike has scientists worried that more and more carbon is coming from natural sources.

The proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere grew at a record 3.75 ppm last year -- a jump 27% bigger than the previous record increase.

The best explanation: forests and soils are so stressed by climate change they're losing the ability to absorb our emissions.

Another aerial crash in NY? Is the US now the most dangerous place to fly in the world?

The shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBI Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

We're now witnessing these same tools, which previously targeted foreigners, being used onto a larger population that includes U.S. citizens. "Criminals" will go down first but the plan is to reach everyone. Democracy and civil rights won't be the same after this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Why Obama Has Failed to Close Guantánamo Congress is blamed for preventing the President from fulfilling his pledge. But that’s not the whole story.

Obama both expanded and put timid limits on the abuses of the Bush administration, creating the perfect setting for Trump's first term. And the structure used to operationalize the war on terror abroad was slowly implemented to "manage" undocumented immigrants here. www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

The creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 brought several agencies responsible for immigration, intelligence-gathering, disaster management, and the Coast Guard, to name a few, under a single umbrella. The result was a nation state under "continuous" threat.
