@dafalgoutDennis @MikeHudema China is moving into solar big time. Serious investments. They are going forward and not backward like the US. Yeah, keep whining about China.

@rtanchor @MikeHudema So, you argue for zero growth? Or just plain old desperation?

Finland is aiming to go carbon neutral in 15 years. They're creating jobs by boosting #renewables and saving trees. Its CO2 emissions have already dropped 21% since 1990s levels.

We have the solutions, let's speed it up and implement them. #ActOnClimate

Jerry Seinfeld said Palestine doesn’t exist.

This was actually the subject of my PhD dissertation.

Turns out that Arab, Muslims & Christians have been calling Palestine Palestine continuously for more than a millennium.

Our planet is dying: and 95 specific billionaires and CEOs are responsible for it: we even know their names: so why haven't they been tried in the criminal courts yet..???

The system continues to prevent it: it's in there favour:

That's what has to change:

I am alarmed and outraged by reports that Trump and Kash Patel’s FBI has raided the Ohio Organizing Collective in Cleveland.

This appears to be a blatant effort to suppress and deny the vote of people in Northeast Ohio. These raids must end immediately.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the me he supports the Iran war "strongly."

You support this war? You own the consequences: billions of taxpayer dollars lit on fire, American servicemembers killed and injured, and economic pain here at home.

“When our genes could not store all the information necessary for survival, we slowly invented brains. But then the time came, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when we needed to know more than could conveniently be contained in brains. So we learned to stockpile enormous quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, so far as we know, to have invented a communal memory stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The warehouse of that memory is called the library.

A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.”

The world crossed a terrifying threshold yesterday when Elon Musk officially became the first trillionaire in human history.

This insane milestone is a symptom of a broken system, proving that the West must radically reform how it tackles wealth inequality before democracy is completely erased.

No human being should ever possess this level of power, particularly an unelected one. Musk has weaponized his massive fortune to dominate strategic state contracts, buy political influence, and control social media discourse. While his personal instabilities and toxic rhetoric make him uniquely hazardous, the core problem is structural. No single individual, no matter how wise or well-intentioned, should ever have the financial leverage to override the collective will of the public.

The ethical failure of this concentrated wealth is staggering. Musk possesses the resources to eliminate massive global issues overnight with a minuscule portion of his fortune, yet he actively chooses to do nothing. Worse, his interference in politics and dismantling of USAID have stripped resources from the world's poorest, contributing to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide.

Musk is securing his place in the history books, but it will be as a warning sign rather than an inspiration. A true democracy cannot coexist with a trillionaire class. If Western societies do not implement strict regulations to cap this absurd concentration of power, we are abandoning the concept of a democratic and fair society altogether.

Global warming is cutting the production of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic, undermining the entire food web and limiting its ability to soak up carbon, a new study reveals. Looks serious….

A critically endangered Diademed sifaka hanging on for dear life—but losing grip on existence in this world.

Madagascar is stricken with extreme poverty, so hunting these large sifakas for bushmeat has soared, even in protected areas. Slash-and-burn for timber and sugar cane plantations for illegal rum is destroying their food trees.

Touchingly, they diligently patrol their territory every morning, carefully scent marking their trees to protect it—but they are defenseless against the ravages we inflict on them.

Long-lived and slow-to-reproduce, now also with high infant mortality (50%), wasting in adults and stunting in immatures as we systematically remove their means to exist.
The tiny, isolated groups in the fragmented reserves may already be genetically non-viable long-term.

It will take a miracle—or someone with enormous wealth— to save this spectacular species from extinction within my lifetime.

We should be talking about the massive fraud going on at the White House: Apparent pay-to-play schemes, pardons, the $2 billion slush fund. But we’re not. They are not serious about fighting fraud.

Israel just kidnapped a 20yr old Palestinian student, taking her hostage. She won’t be called a hostage & she won’t be reported on in the US bc she’s Palestinian.

Had Palestinian forces took an Israeli civilian hostage — would be front page news in every mainstream media outlet.

[Jamie Raskin @jamie_raskin]

Last night my friend @MaxwellFrostFL showed me Donald Trump’s Truth Social posting urging MAGA to expel me from Congress. Apparently Trump doesn’t appreciate our fight against his $1.776 billion slush fund or his outrageous attack against the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Sorry, Mr. President, I’m not going anywhere but back to the front lines of the fight against corruption and authoritarianism.

Every year, we lose 10 million hectares of forest—an area the size of Iceland. Ice caps are melting at 1.2 trillion tons per year. Our planet is dying. But there’s a word for this destruction: Ecocide. And it’s time to make it a crime. 🌍⚖️ #Ecocide #ClimateCrisis

Trump called the Epstein files a hoax. Meanwhile, his White House held Situation Room meetings over what might come out. JD Vance was in the room. Blanche was in the room. Put them under oath. On camera. Now.
