TIAA clients, TIAA-Divest! & allies rallied outside @TIAA HQ in NYC 9/24, demanding divestment from #fossilfuels, an end to exploitation of #Black and #Indigenous communities, and a stop to land theft. TIAA has $78B in fossil fuels. Watch to learn more: https://t.co/q0wsV3Q4sR

This story about Mohammed Balousha is almost exactly one year old.

Today, Israel killed him. I wonder if Washington Post or any Western outlet will share that news or if they’ll continue whitewashing Israel’s crimes against their colleagues because they’re Palestinian.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This is Oligarchy.

Since Election Day, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg have become $232 billion richer & are now worth $920 billion combined. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must fight for an economy that works for all, not just the few.

[ProtectingOurWaters @POW_no_fracking]

How can anyone watch this video and not see the urgency to get off fossil fuels? CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett of @TIAA -- fires and floods, deaths and droughts, displacement and devastation cannot be held back by denial. Your clients want you to divest! #TIAADivest @ThirdActOrg

Scientists say that climate change has made California wildfires FIVE TIMES as risky and that they're now burning twice as much land.

@leahstokes breaks it down on @democracynow.

What's going on in California is a climate disaster. Let's call it that.

[Don Sutherland @DonSuth89069583]

The Franklin Fire in Malibu is making headlines. As of 8:35 am EST, the fire was still 0% contained. Climate change is driving an increase in severe wildfires. A useful paper for reference:

📍A fire in California has grown to 1,633 hectares.
The fire started on Dec.10 near the city of Malibu. The evacuation of 20,000 residents has been announced.

The #Franklin wildfire burning northwest of Los Angeles has forced Malibu residents to flee their homes.
Climate change is having a serious impact on the prevalence of wildfires in California. Warmer, drier seasons create the conditions for more frequent & more damaging fires.

Australian police stopped a man because his car had 'anti-Semitic' material on the window.

When the driver queried what the anti-Semitic material was,

The officer replied 'the small watermelon'.😂

BREAKING: In a blatant example of corporate criminality, Exxon deployed an Israeli agent and lobbyists @DCIGroup to hack the emails of hundreds of prominent US climate leaders. Exxon lawyers also laundered stolen documents in court.

Lock them up. ⤵️ ⤵️

For God's sake @POTUS pardon Steven Donziger already! He protects people, climate, water, life. He was legally attacked & disbarred after helping win a $9.5 billion suit against Chevron for thousands of Ecuadorians harmed by oil waste in the Amazon.
Let's do this.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

NEW—A record 34 members of Congress now urge Joe Biden to pardon environmental lawyer Steven Donziger.

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: A stunning 34 members of the US Congress — including @aoc, @berniesanders, and @repmcgovern — have sent a letter to President Biden calling on him to pardon me after I was targeted by Chevron with the nation’s first corporate prosecution. Grateful.

Please share: https://t.co/Zk51Gt5L3n

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

President Biden just commuted the sentences of 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others. Happy for them, but disappointed I did not make the cut.

There are 40 days left in Biden’s term — please help me and the Amazon communities deliver justice to Chevron.⤵️ https://t.co/S4R2mF3wpP

[Craig Welch @CraigAWelch]

Big thanks to @billmckibben for sharing my @AARP piece in his newsletter. 🙏

It tells the story of Martha Shaw, 84, who lost everything in a hurricane goosed by climate warming & rising seas.

She's since been through 2 more.

We are happy to be joining our friends @ClimateDefiance to blockade the U. S. Dept of @ENERGY to tell @POTUS to #StopLNG projects before he leaves office. The time is now. #ClimateJustice

The Kingston rally to Pass the NY HEAT Act was fantastic and inspiring today, showcasing affordable clean energy housing with great speakers! Let's do this, @GovKathyHochul #fossilfree #affordable #renewable

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The climate emergency is a story of avoidable injustice.

The rich cause the problem, the poor pay the highest price.

The most vulnerable are being abandoned to climate extremes.

We need climate justice. Now.

BREAKING: Australia has introduced a new bill that will impose fines of up to 5% on Elon Musk's Twitter/X global revenue, which could be hundreds of millions of dollars for failing to control the spread of misinformation.
