Media summarize Hochul’s attack on the climate law as a “clash” between “affordability” and “climate goals”. But that’s not true! Solar is the cheapest energy. Hochul’s the one who’d raise utility bills. It’s *actually* a clash between the public’s interest and the gas lobby.
Iranian journalist reports in front of the flames of a burning Oil depot.
This is what ecocide looks like.

Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS
Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history.
THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.
Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.
It's also worth pointing out that fossil fuel dependency is the ultimate cause for why the United States is lighting up the Middle East. Again. 9/11
Some of the key science was done by the oil and gas companies themselves. This means the actual solution – fossil fuel phase out - which has been staring us in the face all this time, still represents the surest route to safety. 8/11
It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.
What people in Tehran woke up to. They are breathing this now.
This war has to end before it’s too late for all of us.
“If Things Got Really Bad Someone Would Fix It, So Things Won’t Get Really Bad” versus “Oh God Oh God Someone Tell Me How to Fix It”
ICE attracts the worst of the worst. There is no reform sweeping enough to fix it. There is only abolition and prosecution.
In 2025, broadcast TV climate coverage plummeted for the 3rd year in a row.
2022: 23 hours
2023: 17 hours - 📉25%
2024: 12 hours, 51 minutes - 📉25%
2025: 8 hours, 25 minutes - 📉35%
But hey, it's not like 2023, 2024, & 2025 were the 3 hottest years in recorded history by a lot. Nothing to see here!
Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.
Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.
The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
Abominable reporting from NYT on this in their “live updates” on Iran.
“still investigating whether it was a U.S. airstrike”
“most of whom were likely children”
Noncommittal, uninformative, and vile. There was already a funeral for the GIRLS MURDERED IN THIS STRIKE, and the NYT is just NYT-ing
The Crook-In-Chief robs the US of $1.6 BILLION with his (paid for) pardons alone. That's only so far and he's only getting started.
Good thing Trump keeps Chinese cars out of the country, otherwise we would be able to buy better cars at lower prices www.fastcompany.com/91503415/byd... As Trump always says, "why pay less?"
Democratic party: we must spend billions to find out what the people want.
The people: (loudly and clearly, through the very process the Democratic Party set up) We want this.
Democratic party: we must spend billions to fight this.
Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.
The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
The public and commentators need to stop thinking about "wars for oil" as about securing oil for the U.S., it's been decades since that was a motivator. "Wars for oil" are instead about securing oil for oil companies, securing a fossil fueled global economy, and denying oil's wealth to "enemies."

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.
