"I will be resigning after this semester from my tenured position at West Point after 13 years on the faculty. I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly. I am ashamed to be associated with the academy in its current form." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

Stunning new research: If the world's entire population had emitted between 1990 and 2020 as much carbon as the world's richest 0.1%, average global temperatures would have soared nearly 54°F. #inequality #wealth www.carbonbrief.org/two-thirds-o...

There is a way that this could be — and in fact should be— framed where this is not about political victories but human rights, the rule of law and what is just in America. When will we learn to stop treating democratic crises as mere horse race politics?

In 2019, Pfizer reported ZERO taxable profits in the US—despite selling $20 BILLION worth of drugs to American patients. By reporting their profits offshore, they dodged billions in taxes and paid a 5.4% tax rate. Don't tell me our tax code isn't rigged for giant corporations.

That's the way I've been characterizing the Trump administration from the beginning. Not complicated, not difficult to understand. They are militantly pro-climate change. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

What a world. Capitalism "externalizes" costs to the point where the costs are "externalized" into our own bodies.

You can always count on ⁦‪ @aoc.bsky.social to bring it! "There's a fundamental math problem here. There is a constant reiteration of waste, fraud, and abuse." People are NOT disposable!

Kudos to @wired.com for shining a scathing light on Silicon Valley's hostile takeover of the federal government. I subscribed. You should, too.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

In our book Calling Bullshit, we suggest that if something seems too good or too bad to be true, it probably is. This post definitely seems too bad to be true. We also teach Fermi estimation, which I thought would reveal an order of magnitude error. But no—it’s absolutely correct.

Billionnaires stole your living. Not immigrants. Not minorities. Not people who follow a different religion. Billionnaires. Noone needs a billion to live. Billionnaires could easily give you the money you lack and not notice the loss. They do not. They never will.

New York State is the twelfth-largest economy on earth, and now it's going to demand that Big Oil pay for the climate damages it has caused. This is how the tobacco industry met its match billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-successf...

If we are concerned about the spread of conspiracy theories, we should realize that debunking is a distraction, a Whac-A-Mole game for fact-checkers and information watchdogs. Instead, we should address the dearth of political vision on which conspiracism feeds.

“They know people will get hurt. It’s incredibly upsetting. The impact of injuries & death involving motor vehicles costs immense wealth, property, time & emotion. And to take deliberate steps to INCREASE the risk? There are no words.” There are plenty of words. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
