Eco-Civilisation: the future we deserve and how we will get there with Jeremy Lent

So much in this! @mandascott.bsky.social in conversation with

From the basis of where we are through TINA & structural violence to
‘setting the conditions for all beings to thrive on a regenerative earth’

Trump’s speech yesterday to American troops — seeking to justify the use of lethal force against anyone suspected of acting illegally, domestic or foreign — is his clearest statement yet about what’s really motivating him. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-just-announced-his-police-state

Troops. In an American city. Using full force.

Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

Water, water everywhere... until it's taken overnight Water, Water Everywhere… Until It’s Taken Overnight

"... extracting millions of litres a day from a drought area, draining an ecologically significant chalk stream on life support, is apparently… perfectly legal."

Important new column by James Vaccaro on water justice and #climate change.

I was in Portland last week, and didn't see the war.
But I did see an extraordinary collection of food trucks

Trump says he’s sending troops to Portland to | CNN Politics President Donald Trump is directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “provide all necessary troops” to Portland, Oregon, a city he says is “war ravaged” and protect ICE facilities he claimed are “und...

This ought to be a huge story everywhere. It is imperative that we not normalize sending troops into blue cities on false pretenses. The consequences could be tragic. Journalists must rebut the lies and quote the outraged at the top of their articles and segments. www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/p...

Music to our ears! Pro-Palestinian activists boo Trump at a dinner in Washington D.C.

A five pointed star with colourful arrows indicating the interconnections between each point. The points read empowerment, inequality, energy, food and poverty. in the centre, the text reads: Our five extraordinary turnarounds to create an earth for all.

Earth4All identifies five extraordinary turnarounds that, taken together, can set humanity on a new path this century. One that leads towards wellbeing and prosperity for all, within the planetary boundaries.

It’s called the Jevons Paradox and it’s been proven true ever since the steam engine was invented. It’s a golden rule of capitalism. We need to change the system, not just a few technical fixes.

ICE officials leave government to work at for-profit prisons. Execs at Geo Group leave private detention companies to work at ICE. And they go back and forth, over and over.

It’s a constantly-revolving door of corruption, and it has to stop. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's fascism.

Measles Cases Hit Highest Total Since U.S. Eliminated the Disease

Last week, Trump and the GOP passed the most destructive environmental and economic bill in history.

It raises our prices and burns our future — all so billionaires can get richer.

Join @markey.senate.gov and @schatz.bsky.social tonight to talk about where we go from here.

As clock ticks down on Turkey's Sozcu TV, is Erdogan muting opposition? As Istanbul's mayor remains jailed, pressure mounts on opposition-aligned media to soften their criticism, analysts say.

In ~2 hours, SOZCU TV in #Turkey will be forced off air. Move is seen as one of Erdogan's many in recent months to silence opposition. Details: www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Our book is out and available for purchase in the U.K. Writing this book with @cacrisalves.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social & @ingridhk.bsky.social was a long and arduous process that has arguably changed us all, and we’d be honoured for y’all to read it!

Trump Froze Funds for a National EV Network. Now We’re Going to Court. Developing a network of EV charging stations is key to modernizing U.S. transportation and staying competitive with the rest of the world.

The Trump administration is illegally freezing billions Congress allocated to build a national EV charging network. Everyone deserves access to EV charging. We’re taking the administration to court to fight for the promised funds.

It is ridiculous that the richest country in the world does not provide universal health care to all of its citizens.

The United States can and must do better than having millions uninsured and millions with crippling medical debt.

Give it a watch, you will not regret it:

A jury convicted TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley of financial fraud and tax evasion. They were cheating and stealing to buy luxury cars and clothes.

Then their daughter campaigned for Trump.

This pardon is a get-out-of-jail-free card for the rich & famous who cozy up to Trump.

A chart showing the impact that Trump’s Tax Scam would have on taxpayers in Florida.

Republicans want to screw over their constituents in order to give more tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what Trump’s Tax Scam would mean for your state: itep.org/analysis-of-...

In Gaza, hospitals have collapsed. Babies ran out of formula. Clean drinking water is gone. Meanwhile, trucks filled with aid are waiting idle by the border. Instead of trying to do a Gaza real estate deal, Trump should press the Netanyahu government to open aid routes & stop starving Palestinians.

free mass public transit should be a climate policy supported by anyone who claims to care about the problem

reduce miles driven by those most in need and you reduce emissions while also reducing income inequality
