Trump just withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.
The US now joins Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries in the world not in the agreement.
We live in a society that loves feel good stories about people coming together to help members of their community that are in need, but scoff at the idea of building a system based on that very same concept.
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.
I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @TimothyDSnyder.

For Putin, the goal of this election is to demonstrate once and for all that democracy doesn’t work, that the electorate are but children, and that he, Musk, and Xi should be in charge of the entire world. It’s all outlined here.

I don’t think there is anyone in America - Republican, Democrat, independent; journalist, non-journalist - who can deny the fact that if Biden or Harris had simulated oral sex on a microphone at a rally on the eve of the election, there would be wall to wall coverage of it on cable, the front page of every paper in the land, and 24/7 demands for them to quit the race.
The debate over media bias and the pass that Trump gets, the total normalization of his abnormal behavior, is over, dead, done, finished. It’s indisputable at this point.
Maddow: "Voting is the bare minimum. You don't even get to brag about that. What else are you going to do on top of voting to help bring about the outcome that you want in this election? The answer to that question is whatever you sign up to do tonight and tomorrow."
Obama: "When Donald Trump repeatedly lies or cheats or shows utter disregard for our Constitution, or just insults people ... people make excuses for it. They say, 'He's not serious.' Everything a president says is serious!"
We’re excited to have Matt Clark from @AbtGlobalImpact as a speaker at the #FHFSummit to explore new approaches to creating greener & more equitable cities through technology, inclusion, policy reform & innovative financing.

This is a real place. It is a housing estate called Les Espaces d'Abraxas, built near Paris in 1982.
And it's one of the most important buildings in the world...

In the last few years, BP, Shell, and ExxonMobil have announced net-zero climate pledges.
They've spent millions of dollars advertising their investments in clean energy.
Last week, all 3 companies changed up those plans and said they are doubling down on fossil fuels.

Conversation with a farmer friend. So much anger. So much frustration. "For decades we were told. Produce. Produce. Produce". Productivity was everything. The only reason we still have biodiversity is our land here is too poor to destroy with inputs. We couldn't afford them...
Grateful that Al Gore continues to tell the truth. Contempt for all those people in positions of power - politicians, media, celebrities - who are refusing to fully sound the alarm #ClimateEmergency
.@UNAIDS chief @Winnie_Byanyima tells me that @wef#Davos proposing a #metaverse to tackle global challenges is “an insult to ordinary people who are suffering.”
On tax, debt & climate she says “These are things where we want political will. We are not short of the technology.”
