Happy to do this 😁 Love the "Green Them All" option, giving a tiny bit to every group on the list, in addition to more generous support to one of my favorite orgs.

Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate "We are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating."

I see we need to revisit this.

I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events.

Earth Gives Day Let's make a change together. Join me in investing in climate and environmental nonprofits on Earth Gives Day, October 7, 2025!

Though we are all occupied with resisting authoritarianism in the US right now, the physics of a warming atmosphere isn't stopping. We have to fight fascism AND prevent a fossil fuel driven collapse of the biosphere. Support us at @srti.bsky.social in this one-day fund-raiser, if you can!

If you can, please donate to support Sleydo’, Shaylynn Sampson and Corey Jacko, who are weeks away from their sentencing after resisting the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which violates the rights of Wet’suwet’en people and lacks consent from Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs.

Your responsibility as an American, is not to agree with the president simply 'because they're the president'. It's incumbent upon you to be objective, self-examined, and ethical – and hold *any* officeholder to those same standards. And if they're not, scream the truth in their faces.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

The Big Winners in California? Science and Climate. And affordability!

"Against all odds, climate advocates and the California Legislature extended (and renamed) California’s landmark Cap-and-Trade Program, made electricity more affordable, got serious about a fast-and-fair fossil fuel phaseout, and made the state’s grid more reliable," writes @danielbarad.bsky.social.

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

I am reminded tonight how important it is for women to be inspired by other brave, pioneering women as I watch dozens and dozens of women post gift links to Jane Goodall obituaries and articles

Keep it up, ladies.

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make" - Jane Goodall

We’re heartbroken to learn that Dr Jane Goodall has passed away, aged 91.

Dr Goodall was one of the true conservation giants of our time. Let’s honour her legacy by choosing to make a difference in the world - by protecting it.

Thank you, Jane, for everything you did for our planet. 💚

Jane Goodall, the celebrated primatologist and conservationist, has died Jane Goodall, the conservationist renowned for her groundbreaking chimpanzee field research and globe-spanning environmental advocacy, has died. She was 91.

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.”

The Commonwealth Club is profiting from Peter Thiel's antichrist lecture series, and yet they refuse to take accountability. We can't let them off the hook.

Cars Have Fucked Up This Country Bad The car-centric age of development is one long mistake.

Hamilton Nolan, welcome to The War on Cars. This is spot on. @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

Start-up emissions at B.C. LNG plants systematically underestimated, finds study Researchers say B.C. regulators have underestimated pollution by ignoring LNG terminal start-up emissions.

A new study from @cape-acme.bsky.social finds that the amount of methane gas burned during the start-up of an LNG export terminal is nearly THREE TIMES higher than during regular operations, threatening the health of neighboring communities.😷

This is so disheartening. Yes, we need more clearance instead of the decades of fire suppression that got us here. But that isn't just what this is. Protecting wilderness is one of the best things the US has ever done, and it belongs to all of us (and none of us), humans and animals and plants.

New report says, if rich countries want, they have more than enough money to fund climate action: $6.6 trillion annually oilchange.org/publications...

As COP30 @cop30brazil.bsky.social approaches, several COFFIS members still need to provide a fossil fuel subsidy inventory.

We are America!

Protesters disrupted an exclusive Republican Overseas UK dinner, just around the corner from where Trump is staying.

This is the way—supporters of the regime must know no peace, no matter where they are.

Thank you @fossilfreeldn.bsky.social and all in the UK protesting against this fascist regime!
