Cannot WAIT for the Noem propaganda videos that play on a loop at airports to stop. Truly the worst.

Excited to share my newly published article with Olivia Quinn in Climatic Change, which explains why the Inflation Reduction Act passed Congress when the Waxman-Markey bill failed.
It's open access so anyone can read it!

Congrats on the new pod! Excited to listen.
When ICE agents began to terrorize Minnesota, climate groups helped lead the resistance.
Check out our latest episode with @aru-shiney-ajay.bsky.social @benpasser.bsky.social + @emorwee.bsky.social. We explore why preserving democracy is central to climate progress.

A couple of days ago, I joined @slate.com's Decoder Ring to discuss Coalie and the broader politics of energy messaging. What looks like simple branding opens up bigger questions about public institutions, industry narratives, and climate politics. Take a listen. slate.com/podcasts/dec...
Today I talked with @crooked.com about what EPA endangerment finding repeal means for the climate. You can listen to the podcast here.

Once again: the Trump administration isn't opposed to clean energy. They're opposed to cheap energy. Because it threatens the livelihood of their mediocre friends who can't compete against cheaper sources. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/c...
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
BIG SCOOP @heatmap.news: The Trump administration is now going after renewable energy projects on both public and private lands by indefinitely delaying water permits β¦ on grounds that the projects might have bad βaestheticsβ
Yes, theyβre hurting renewable energy projects by calling them ugly
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
Wrenching reporting on Minneapolis. This is a fascist government attacking its own people.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: βYesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. βToday, we demand accountability. βIn the immediate aftermath of Alexβs killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a βdomestic terrorist.β Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving Americaβs veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. βOur demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alexβs needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.
Thanks Kevin for RT!

Itβs hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.
Big, big news! This is probably the coolest of the many jobs I have shared here!

This. Will. Go. Fast.
The EPA is no longer going to consider how many potential lives a pollution regulation would save -- just the costs to industry. This is directly counter to EPA's mission. And it will kill Americans.
Great (depressing) scoop from @maxinejoselow.bsky.social.

Given news that ICE shot and killed an observer in Minneapolis, here is a pattern we've seen before:
*DHS say officers were under threat. This justifies to use deadly force.
*Subsequent reporting shows such claims simply don't hold up.

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to βget out of here.β βShe was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in β like, his midriff was on her bumper β and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,β Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trumpβs gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.
In competitive authoritarian regimes, the government deters and undermines opposition by using its powers to inflict costs on those who challenge it rather than recognizing their legitimacy as democratic opponents
There has never been a moment when ending the oil industry has been more urgent or important. Here is a thread of seven tools that can help.

"Hard-to-abate" is sometimes code for "we haven't looked closely yet." This great new report shows opportunities for clean heat (low/medium-temp industrial process heat) through electrification, which also has public health benefits.
Unbelievably inhumane conditions. No wonder the Trump administration didn't want Americans to see this reporting. Must watch.
The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5
I look forward to the legally required, transparent peer review process required by the US Global Change Research Act and the Information Quality Act. I always thought they would try to do a NCA with Judith Curry, five old men and a LLM.
Also the evidence that people don't care about climate change is thin and best. It's just a talking point a bunch of pundits have spent a year repeating, trying to brainwash us all.
Also his points about Canadian leftists loving fossil fuels are HILARIOUSLY wrong lol.
Appreciate you!
