Spain’s MEP, Irene Montero:

β€œThey say Iran has nuclear weapons β€” sounds like what they said about Iraq.”

β€œBut it is Israel that has nuclear weapons.”

β€œThe U.S. is the only country to ever drop a nuclear bomb.”

β€œToday, Israel and the U.S. are the greatest threat to humanity.”

Hey what can we do instead of numbing ourselves to the despair being pushed down from the highest levels of this country? We can build from below, which is what organizers are showing us in the public power movement. Check this out if you need a dose of optimism (backed with real life examples!)

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A note to all the celebrities, athletes, and CEOs who are too afraid to speak out in the current climate: We don’t need you. But we will remember your silence in this moment.

Mamdani gets it: the task of ecosocialists is to show that we can build a fairer, greener world faster than centrists.

Sarahana Shrestha is building a progressive movement in the Hudson Valley The growth of left-wing politics isn’t limited to New York City.

San Francisco could follow the example from New York and begin to build a whole new political bloc based entirely around making PG&E public. In the Hudson Valley, the fight against their corporate utility, Central Hudson, is a defining part of @sarahana.bsky.social's work as a state Assembly member.

The Quick and Shameful Death of Biden’s Biggest Policy It was far too easy for Republicans to kill the Inflation Reduction Act. Where did those who crafted it go wrong?

I spent months talking to many, many people for this long post-mortem of the Inflation Reduction Act: What forces were responsible for creating it, and how could it be gutted so unceremoniously? What might come next?

No easy answers ofc but hopefully a bit of clarity

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections β€” 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.
