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.
Climate mitigation costs money. But it ends up avoiding way more costs in the future.
A benefit of free buses I hadn’t heard enough about until this piece from @galvinalmanza.bsky.social
What a novel idea! Don't drill oil wells right next to where people live and around their drinking water supplies.
"would force an energy company to leave hydrocarbons in the ground 'if necessary to protect public health, safety, welfare, the environment, or wildlife resources.'
The Trump administration is expected this week to revoke a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, according to a White House official. https://to.pbs.org/4r9Xt6E
This grassroots work has been ongoing, and has always directly called out the colonialism that has killed thousands of people.
It is one of the most important energy justice fights of our time. Read the history behind Bad Bunny's symbolic halftime show: earthjustice.org/feature/puer...

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.
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.
Puerto Ricans have been fighting for energy democracy - the right to control their grid locally and build the clean energy future on the island - for decades. If you want to support an incredible effort, get plugged into the work led by Queremos Sol! queremossolpr.org
If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...
We wanted to know how Latino voters felt about Bad Bunny's criticism of ICE. So we talked to three white centrist podcasters at a Le Pain Quotidien in Dupont Ciricle.
“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”
Nike says an average worker at the foreign factories that make its goods earns almost twice the local minimum wage.
Workers in the company’s second-largest hub, Indonesia, say local wages remain chronically low.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠
i don't think, actually, that it is good that wealthy people will get cleaner, healthier, all-electric kitchens while the poorest people will get more gas, higher bills, and earlier deaths.

Another BIG story that’s only not a huge headlines because of…EVERYTHING ELSE.
And Trump gets a gold FIFA statue and a peace award as a thank you.
Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024
UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
It was just last week, remember, that the FBI raided a Washington Post journalist’s home and seized her phones in connection with a leak investigation. This administration views journalism as a crime. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...
Two thirds of gas projects in development have not said where they will get gas turbines for their projects.
It appears the AI geniuses and their plagiarism machines can't figure out that if you want to build a lot of gas power you need...stay with me here...gas power turbines. They don't have them.
For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, there’s essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.
Important ground-truthing of a big corporation: Nike Says Its Factory Workers Make Nearly Double the Minimum Wage. In Indonesia, Workers Say, “It’s Not True.” by @matthewkish.bsky.social @oregonian.com
if anything, in light of later developments, we were too nice
Gas projects in the US pipeline explicitly linked to data centers increased by almost 25 times over the past two years, according to new research from Global Energy Monitor.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.
Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.
