Big Oil knew.

Big Oil lied.

Now Big Oil wants immunity.

Ten governors and more than 135,000 Americans have a message for Congress: Absolutely not. Read the letter: https://t.co/66fhacGSwX

if you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism. a quick thread on the Prairielands convictions from last week, and what they mean for the right to protest in the US:

Paramount's merger with WBD won't just cut jobs in LA and New York. It'll also decimate *Atlanta* where people have had their lives torn apart by merger after merger, and where they are on the chopping block due to overlap with Paramount operations. From our town hall last week🧵

Jamie Rosegren is a set decorator and labor leader. She's seen higher rates of depression and suicide among her members due to job losses - while their bosses become less and less skilled at actually doing the work. (Jaime spoke for herself at the event, not for her union.)

NEW: $100 million went missing from an online bank.

"Neobanks" promise higher rates and lower fees, but they exist in a regulatory black box created by Andreessen, Thiel, Musk and more.

We investigated an online bank where thousands of Americans' FDIC-insured savings vanished.

Three really important findings on climate from the World Risk Report: first, global concern about warming is at an all-time high; second, in rich countries, people massively underestimate concern among fellow citizens, "mistaking themselves for isolated minorities"; and third...

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

More than half of Americans (51%) tell Gallup that warming is either a very serious or somewhat serious threat to the country. But they estimate that only 10 percent of other Americans feel the same way. https://t.co/g8NnCi2yqa

Senator @CoryBooker finds out, in real-time, how the Paramount takeover of WBD would consolidate half of the country’s news archive under the editorial control of one family. “This is scary. I’m so angry I didn’t know this”

I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women.

I changed a single variable: My name.

Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff."

The US is so far gone on data privacy - why is "the land of the free" allowing private companies to bug our homes?

It's not too late, we can still pass laws and claw back our rights.

Ring, Amazon's doorbell camera company, says its tech just makes neighborhoods safer. Critics contend that it’s the largest privately owned surveillance dragnet in US history, with significant potential for abuse.

"They require us to do background checks with their owned and operated background check company which charges us three times the amount of our background checks. We have to use their accounts payable company and the annual fee is $6000. They take a percentage of each invoice..."

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This merger is bad for New Yorkers three times over. Thousands of jobs at risk here in the city. Streaming bills going up as competition disappears. And two of America’s most powerful media companies under one roof, deciding what you watch and what you hear.

Today, as Warner Bros. and Paramount shareholders vote, New York City is on record: this merger should be stopped.

BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran.

Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers.

They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one.

Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda.

53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it.

The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one.

Never stop connecting the dots.
