The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

They are connected. The destruction of our climate is part of the oppression of people caused by our economic system!

I spend my days thinking about climate change and solutions but I’m distracted by masked men kidnapping people in America.

We must be talking about class and privilege! Climate solutions must be honest about who
is causing the problem and who needs to pay to solve it.

Emissions are not distributed equally. Just 5% of power plants generate 75% of power sector emissions; 12% of people consume half the beef produced; 2% of aviation emissions come from the 0.003% who are (private jet users; etc.

What a great opportunity for targeted reductions!

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence.

Elie Mystal: Democrats should form a shadow government like de Gaulle did during Nazi occupation More lessons on defeating fascism

We are at war. Trump wants to end our freedoms. It's time for Democratic leaders to grasp that. They need to use every legal means available to vocally push back including creating a shadow cabinet like in the UK. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/elie-mysta...

RFK Jr. says there aren't autistic poets. We asked an autistic poet. "I will challenge RFK Jr. to write a poem as good as me any day of the week."

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

White House denials over the Signal snafu ring hollow The breach raises questions of security and legality

I wrote on the Signal leak. The White House, DNI, DCIA, DOD & NSA all deny that the group chat included classified information. DNI said that under oath to Congress. On the basis of the evidence available so far, I struggle to see how that could be true. www.economist.com/united-state...

Why coalitions of wealthy nations should fund others to decarbonize Failure to agree on global grants to help low- and middle-income countries to achieve net-zero emissions cannot be the end of the story. An urgent solution is needed.

Tweet by Ian Bremmer (@ianbrem ...) posted on March 7. The post highlights Mexico President Sheinbaum's 85% approval rating, calling her the strongest leader of a major democracy. It also mentions a significant turnout in Mexico City today, accompanied by an image of a massive crowd gathered in the Zócalo, Mexico City's main square. The image shows a large gathering of people with umbrellas and flags, including the Mexican flag prominently displayed, with the Metropolitan Cathedral and other historic buildings in the background under a clear blue sky.

Looks like they’ve got her back.

Trump and his oligarch allies saying we need to suffer for a while paying the new TRUMP TAX (Tariff) but the economy will be better later are missing that the economy was already strong before Trump took over: Unemployment was 4%, inflation dropping, stock market up. Trump has DESTROYED all of that!
