Inspired by young people around the world,
each week I am going to share one resource
on this thread relevant for learning more
about human impact on the planet.

I recently finished listening to the entirety of @ehanford's #SoldAStory and feel a lot of gratitude to be beginning my teaching career at the same time as this work is in the world. Truly some of the most consequential reporting of our time. 🧵

NYT: “There is this urgency around the story, this unbelievable grief,” said @ehanford, a journalist at APM. Her podcast #SoldaStory detailed how stars of the literacy world & their publisher diverged from scientific research. It racked up ~5M downloads. https://t.co/b8K7RXZ8KV

Axios: Heather Honey, most known for denying the results of the 2020 election in Pennsylvania and Arizona, is now the Homeland Security Department's deputy assistant secretary for election integrity and senior advisor to the ICE Director.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Across the world, right-wing and even occasionally liberal governments are using the immigration system as a way to punish and silence individuals whose speech those in power disagree with.

In the US, @IlhanMN is one of the most prominent examples yet: https://t.co/t8g5pZ78xK

Welcome to the five Ds of Climate Change denial

First ‘downplay’ suggests climate change cannot be that bad.

Science suggests it is really bad and effects the health of 100s millions of people

In this week’s Frankly I unfurl a metaphorical “ladder” that traces the systems-oriented forces shaping the economic Superorganism:

Seven rungs that trickle down to affect the behaviors and events we witness in our daily lives, as well as reinforce humanity’s dependence on energy and material growth.

There has been a Wilful Optimism amongst Scientists and policy makers. Only a small number of people have dared to call it as it is. And now we have Trump charging the world over the precipice. I’ve been on the right side of this Debate but that doesn’t help my grandchildren.

Seconded. The film is tremendous.

These are insurance executives warning of The Great Climate Insurance Collapse, and of what that portends for the economy. Time for us all to wake up.

Let me get this right - in the last week we’ve seen cars washed away in Chile,
Istanbul, Turkey and now São Paulo, Brazil.
And no media is joining the dots @bbcnews @itvnews @skynews @thetimes @bbc5live @lbc @DailyMail This isn’t even the new normal. It’s going to get much much worse.

This a cinema in Göktürk, Turkey after the extreme rain.

Ironic considering that Hollywood has barely engaged with the climate Crisis, in the weeks after one of the biggest films to ever do so, Digger, was savaged by critics.

[Isabella M Weber @IsabellaMWeber]

We need an ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS which puts a floor under people's livelihoods and a ceiling on the extreme concentration of power and wealth.

Read this book: even if you have doubts about the fascist vs anti-fascist perspective, you will enjoy the concrete proposals on affordability, dignity & democracy

Climate Change Is Increasing Simultaneous Exposure to Heat Waves and Wildfire Smoke when each is dangerous alone. More than 1 billion people per year were exposed to heat waves and fire pollution at the same time from 2010-19, a sharp jump. @Katie_Surma https://t.co/y46tUid2yN
