Leonard Peltier: “It was worth it to me to be able to sacrifice for you.” Finally! This is a human being that never should've been in jail! youtube.com/watch?v=PF__...

No one else can do what @NOAA does. That’s why we must fight back against efforts to dismantle or privatize it. 377 organizations and businesses are urging Congress to take action to protect NOAA and the crucial services it provides. Will you join us? bit.ly/3QUKt4F #SaveNOAA

Jury selection just wrapped in the Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace trial. By my count: 7 of 11 of the jurors have ties to the fossil fuel industry. 3 work at fossil fuel companies 3 have husbands with industry ties 1 has mineral rights I'll be here all month covering the trial for Drilled.

@daviddoel.bsky.social you'll appreciate letter I wrote to USA Hockey administration

What a horrendous idea and a glaring signal Dems still don't get it @emmavigeland.bsky.social @majorityreport.bsky.social @samseder.bsky.social

🔴 NEW 🔴 Kemi Badenoch & Nigel Farage will be rubbing shoulders with far-right EU politicians, religious “hate” groups, and fossil fuel executives over the next few days. 📝 @desmog.bsky.social scoop 👇🏻

Please email and/or call Cuyahoga County Executive Ronayne and demand they cease investing in Isreali bonds

Sounds like the dynamic between PA (Louisiana in this instance) and Ohio (Texas) when it comes to O&G waste disposal

I've been honored to have gotten to know Robert and his daughter Tish Taylor down in Cancer Alley, LA. Amazing people www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

"the largest union-busting move since Senate Bill 5 in 2011" "strips away faculty’s right to strike" "will ban universities from endorsing or opposing 'controversial beliefs,' but the definition of 'controversial' is 'any belief or policy that is the subject of political controversy.'"

Perfect analysis of booing by @daviddoel.bsky.social a Canadian youtu.be/cl9VVe5gNoQ?...

Two groups doing great work on the AZ-MX border www.gvs-samaritans.org and www.humaneborders.org

Let it be said with clarity. No one is booing these American players. Montreal, Quebec and Canada love talented players because they’re passionate about hockey. They’re not booing the USA either. They’re booing the President who threatens to annex us daily.

We’re nine seconds into Canada vs USA at the 4Nations Cup and there have been three (3) fights. Guess it’s not just the fans booing who are feeling some anger.

What a start to #USVsCanada @daviddoel.bsky.social youtu.be/pUa6c7DNmQY?...

The new Joe Sacco- Art Spiegelman comic about Gaza for your perusal. Only 3 pages. I gather this is a preview of a longer work, but maybe I'm wrong on that.

NEW: in another late-night “fork” email to federal employees, OPM has apparently made what is their “last, best, and final” offer to convince our members to resign their employment. Folks, we didn’t think this was possible, but OPM found a way to make the offer *worse.* 🧵

Screw you Richie Torres! Those of us on the Left are not your enemy and you should assign this anger to the MAGA MAFIA!!!

By “go into”, he means “get invaded.”

A PSA to federal employees working on climate and environmental science/policy If you're witnessing political and/or industry interference in your work now that Big Oil has effectively captured the government, you don't have to let it slide. Contact me securely: heated.world/p/a-tipline-...

TRUMP: “We don’t have to buy Gaza. We’ll take it.” Q: “Under what authority?” TRUMP: “Under 🇺🇸 authority.”🤔 Translation: He sees it as a real estate deal to enrich himself, his family, and his friends — at the expense of the people.

"With the Democratic Party reeling from its losses, the DNC is voting on a new chair. Will it choose to reform its top-down model?" @sunjeevbery.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/02/01/d...

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! Global sea-ice extent is now at an all-time record low in recorded history, with global sea-ice extent now 2.14 million square kilometers below the 1991-2020 average. Images of the current Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice extent are in the following posts in this thread.

We all need to have the backs of @704afge.bsky.social and other government employees #OldTheLineDon'tResign

The Trump administration is moving to fire or force out more than 20% of the Environmental Protection Agency's Chicago staff, including officials who enforce clean air and water laws and others dedicated to helping poor communities disproportionately harmed by pollution in the Midwest.

We stand with our union family at AFGE, and all Federal workers holding the line to protect Americans health and safety. #Solidarity ✊

Half of this is populist stuff Democrats could have done, and by not doing it, they are going to let Trump have a huge victory now. Of course, the few tax breaks he's eliminating here will be absolutely dwarfed by renewing the 2017 tax cuts for the rich.
