The Roof Is on Fire: Will COP30 Finally Start Phasing Out Fossil Fuels? The symbolism was undeniable when fire erupted at the COP30 climate talks just as negotiators considered phasing out fossil fuels.

Flames destroying the protective layer at #COP30 climate talks? A screenwriter would be deemed a hack for such a scene. But as emissions rise even as we near the end of yet another extraordinarily hot year, the truth of our #climate crisis is stranger than fiction.

A random selection of protest signs at the Labor Day pro-democracy protest in St. Matthews in Louisville this afternoon. A lot of creativity and a lot of energy!

Today people protested outside Palantir’s NYC and Palo Alto offices. Two weeks ago they were in Peter Thiel’s VC office in West Hollywood. The people profiting the most from ICE kidnappings won’t get away with it. Follow

Past environmental officials of both parties assail Trump's first 100 days Former environmental agency leaders under Republican and Democratic presidents condemned what they called the dismantling of climate and health rules.

"Irreparable harm."
"Catastrophe"
"Dangerous."

Those were some terms former EPA leaders used to describe the #climate implications of Trump's first 100 days.

And that's what the *Republicans* had to say.

Oops. Tesla is already getting desperate to find buyers and offering incentives on the new Model Y. You know, the one that Elon promised would jumpstart flagging sales? Let's keep that pressure up and make sure Q2 makes Q1 look like a walk in the park #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/04/25/t...

Can you do that? Are they bound to comply?

Tesla’s Remarkably Bad Quarter Is Even Worse Than It Looks Reality is catching up with Elon Musk.

"The fact that these demonstrations were the first thing Musk brought up on the earnings call speaks volumes about how rattled he must be;" - @patrickgeorge.bsky.social

1. Every Dem Senator should be doing this, at minimum, for their constituents.
2. Why won't my Senators in New York do this for my fellow Columbia students incarcerated in Louisiana? It's a quicker flight.

Government by death cult The administration is at a fever pitch, but it's our country.

I wrote about how Trump's death-cult approach to Covid during his first administration has carried over to this one in ways that are dangerous across the board. But there's a lot we can do to stop him—and millions of people are already working on it.

The only way forward, that I can see, requires both courage and collective action. If we’re not going to fight for our students and our scholarship, then what the hell are we doing anyway?

The penguins can have their tariffs lifted if they agree to buy 30,000 of America's unsold Teslas.

#Handsoff + #TeslaTakedown = we're taking our country back one protest at a time. Every weekend gets bigger. They're trying as hard as they can to shut down public services and increase taxes. They'll only get away with it if we let them. Keep showing up. Keep protesting. #TeslaTakedown #Handsoff
