When ICE came, Minneapolis created underground health networks. Should other cities? The Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis forced some families into hiding and catalyzed informal medical networks to deliver critical health care services inside homes.

Minnesota medical systems have reported up to 60% cancellations and no-shows since ICE came to town. Families are afraid to get the care they need, and our healthcare workers are put on the frontlines of ICE's cruelty and chaos. Healthcare centers must be ICE-free.

Gas prices jumped again this morning and are on track to double - a stark reminder of our exposure to fossil fuel volatility.

The real solution isn’t more drilling, but moving away from combustion: electrify, use renewable power, and boost energy efficiency.

Markets latest: Gas price soars 93% since start of conflict Drone strikes across the Middle East and Iran's effective closure of a key shipping route are spooking investors and traders. Follow the latest on the global markets.

This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea

If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Fossil fuel giant wins $370 million tax break for burning gas as an ‘alternative fuel’ The IRS allowed one of the world’s largest exporters of natural gas to claim its heavily polluting tankers are low-emissions “motorboats,” the company said.

I know it’s just another bribery story, but this one is worth sharing. Chenier got a $370 million dollar tax break, basically no questions asked, for doing what they would have done anyway. This is #fossilfueledfascism at work www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Putin tried to freeze Ukraine. Instead, he sparked an energy Revolution. Russia is bombing fossil-fueled power plants, so the country is building solar and wind.

🇺🇦 Ukraine is revamping its power sector as rapidly as it can, not for climate protection but for energy security. Wind and solar arrays with independent transmission lines, scattered over the landscape makes them harder to hit and easier to repair.

Just think, Washington could have been doing this and turning Puerto Rico into a model. Of course, when Trump finds out, he & the fossil fuel brigade of his Cabinet will scream about how Beijing is violating the Monroe Doctrine and needs to get out of the Western Hemisphere. bsky.app/profile/econ...
