What do the Dodgers, Giants and also the cheating Houston Astros have in common? As of this month, they're all sponsored by the oil giant that owns 76 gasoline. My column on the power of advertising, and Big Oil's sneaky strategy for making you love them: www.latimes.com/environment/...

Read the @latimes.com and read @sammyroth.bsky.social "...Deeply informed reporting, combined with elegant, plain-spoken prose...have made Roth’s “Boiling Point” column required reading for anyone serious about US climate news." #climatecrisis #journalism #climatesolutions #goodreading

Today’s #MayDay Strong Rally in the SouthBay, Torrance Ca City Hall @indivisiblewestsidela.com @indivisible.org @reptedlieu.bsky.social @benallenca.bsky.social #StandUpFightBack @ktla.com @maddow.msnbc.com

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations? On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

Chuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up. @schumer.senate.gov

Pope Francis wasn't trying to call out Donald Trump's hateful crackdown on immigrants and his war against clean energy — that was still years away. But Francis' 2015 climate change encyclical, "Laudato Si," is more relevant now than ever. My column for @latimes.com: www.latimes.com/environment/...

Absolutely brutal and hilarious takedown of Bill Maher from the one and only Larry David.

Brusdar Graterol did not attend the WH ceremony for the Dodgers. He’s injured but could have still gone, it was his choice. He’s also Venezuelan and posted this today. 🤣💪🏼💙

Dodgers pitcher Brusdar Graterol on Instagram while his teammates were visiting Trump at the White House:

WATCH the fantastic montage of the rallies around the world! The PLAN how you’re going to get the message to your Senators while they’re on recess!

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

a friend sent me this one

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

Starting to gather at #LosAngeles DTLA #HandsOff cools things happening

Des Moines Hands-Off rally today. Huge crowd walking up Locust Street from downtown to State Capital.

In our small town of Kent, Ohio, turnout was good for the #HandsOff protest. Lots of car honking in solidarity. It’s a start… and it did not rain despite predictions calling for heavy rain. Earlier today, I also attended the hands off protest in Ravenna, Ohio.

Just kicked off our Hands Off the AV rally! @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

Hands Off! Juneau, Alaska crowd gathering before a great event.

An estimated 2.4 million people have protested Trump across the country today

#handsoff protest in Surprise, AZ 1,500 and counting!

#HandsOff Austin, Texas

Leah and I closed out the DC rally with 100k there, hopped on a bike, got some McDonalds fries, and are now headed back home to the kids. Feeling so lifted. Millions came out today. Feel good - today was historic. Fascists want us to feel alone. Well, so much for that. We will win. ❤️💪♥️

At the NYC protest in Bryant Park:

New Haven, CT! #HandsOff

Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

#handsoff Birmingham, Alabama

PROVIDENCE… BOSTON… #HandsOff2025

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
