Big Oil spent nearly half a BILLION dollars in last year’s election cycle.

Now, they’re coming to collect — and they’re getting a big return on investment. Watch. youtu.be/aDQXiNlM5iM?...

Stop Trump's climate denying DOE report As part of their goal to ensconce climate denial as the law of the United States, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) last week released a bogus report that argues that climate change “appears to be l...

hey folk, ICYMI the new official policy of the United States is that climate change doesn't endanger people! and to back it up, Trump found the five cranks who aren't part of the vast scientific consensus that climate change is real (and hurts us). Take action! actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

If you're following the GOP tax bill disaster, my latest in @crisesnotes.bsky.social traces how this effort builds on a longstanding campaign to weaken the IRS and consolidate fiscal power in the hands of the wealthy. This is the first in a series on DOGE, taxes, and the future of public governance.

Correction: the reconciliation bill is actually one massive gift to Big Oil, filled with giveaways and subsidies.

Elon Musk just keeps lying to the American people, even on his way out.

I’m sad to hear this. Rest in Peace, Pope Francis.

The legislative branch is supposed to check the executive.

This image shows a white woman with a T-shirt that says community solidarity respect, power jobs with justice. She’s holding a sign that says hands off our renewable energy funding. She’s wearing a San Diego Padres hat with the roses on it.

I will always believe that @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social did the right thing in standing behind the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in its challenge to an illegal transnational tar sands pipeline. Mni Wiconi Forever.

Jimmy Carter, former U.S. President, dies at 100 Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died at home in Georgia.

President Jimmy Carter was a servant leader in the best possible way.
A model of decency and humanity. A leader in word and deed. A champion for human rights whose legacy extended long past his presidency to his entire life - redefining what post-presidential service could achieve. A very good man.

R.I.P. President
Jimmy Carter!

Thank you for @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and for your service to our country !

I have zero patience for people complaining about subsidies for renewables. They are DWARFED by those for fossil fuels, per IMF below.

And I categorically disagree with those wanting to claim implicit subsidies aren’t subsidies. That’s utter nonsense.

~$42 trillion in FF subsidies 2025-2030.

I'm normally so happy on Thursdays that Friday is coming and I get to relax for the weekend. But, this Thursday means that the end of #GarWeek is neigh. And that makes me sad.

Thank you for noticing 😅

I am a white woman with curly brown hair and makeup on with a pink sweater and am sitting in front of Christmas paper with my OK Dept. Of wildlife mug.

We have arrived at Day 2. #GarWeek

#GARWEEK IS HERE!!!

We’re excited to celebrate this “most-loathed,” misunderstood, and amazing group of living fossil fishes with you all!

Enjoy this Intro to Gars @ologies.bsky.social from #Garology!

Feel free to share YOUR #GarPuns, photos, #GARtwork and any other GARish posts!

HAPPY M-F^€K!NG GAR WEK BAYBEE!

I keep asking people not to forget or distrust their own experiences and memories (I'm still trying to dig mine up) from 8 years ago.

You just don’t. Throwing away communities for expanded fossil fuels is not an option.

The shadowy outline of a gar is seen through the water, illuminated from above. We imagine its voice is like Bane, from The Dark Knight Rises…

SOON.
