Our institutions were never going to save us; they’ve just expanded the demographics of who they’re failing. I’m seeing a lot of people radicalized for the first time as the scales fall from their eyes. The key is not to become cynical, but to use that energy to liberate one another.

‘This kinda future might seem hard to imagine, but that’s because our language, media, & culture are shaped by the very system we need to move beyond. Once we name the problem—capitalism’s insurmountable contradiction between endless growth and a finite planet—we can start to name the solution.’ 1/2

The suit, filed in US District Court for DC points to remarks Trump made claiming that public broadcasting is biased against him as evidence that he is using the threat of funding cuts to chill the First Amendment rights of the broadcasters, including NPR. www.cpr.org/2025/05/27/c...

Between the EU’s GHG target and policy based progress, and China’s industrial policy based progress (PV, EV, batteries), let’s all cut the BS that climate policy has vapourized somehow. North America is a sideshow now - what matter is how the Global South develops. www.ft.com/content/4abd...

I think it's worth distinguishing the effects of the sanewashing of the NYT from other forms of pro-Trump media bias. The main impact is to palliate an elite class so that they don't have to recognize the state of emergency. 1/2

Important reminder from @katiesurma.bsky.social that environmental defenders face violence or the threat of, sanctioned & otherwise, so often. Long neglected focus of #environmentalsecurity work. Our IR & conflict studies biases blinded us to these key dynamics. insideclimatenews.org/news/2005202...

The 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming limit identified by the Paris Agreement is not enough to save Earth’s polar ice sheets, scientists warned as they released a new study on sea level rise.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

A government that not only disengages from climate action but actively destroys the tools, institutions and research data to do so is hating earth itself. In assessing Trump, this fundamentalist dimension of them not only assaulting democracy but the planet itself needs more media attention.

Many people claim there is a natural connection between capitalism and democracy. Sometimes the two concepts are virtually fused together. I always find this odd because I value democracy, but there is nothing democratic about capitalism... jasonhickel.substack.com/p/why-capita...
