I am a climate activist. I believe climate solutions must be intersectional and lead toward a better society. I am doing my best. How about you?

BREAKING! 🔥🌏🏛️ This is astonishingly out of touch and completely indefensible. We believe this decision is illegitimate and in breach of the museum’s own #climate commitments and sector-wide codes and will be seeking legal advice in order to mount a formal challenge to it. 1/3
Wow! @britishmuseum accepting a £50m donation from fossil fuel giant BP. Money will be used for its Masterplan project which will see galleries redeveloped, infrastructure fixed and a new Energy Centre built. Many will ask though: “was there really no other source of cash?”

Justice Clarence Thomas wanted to boost his income — and Republican billionaires were happy to give him a lavish lifestyle so he wouldn’t resign from the Supreme Court. It's corruption, plain and simple.
NEW: In 2000, Clarence Thomas was deep in debt. He met w/ a GOP Congressman & complained about his salary. The GOP started to fear he’d leave the court. In the years that followed, billionaires lavished him w/ secret gifts. https://t.co/uLSfv8rmnp

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Our kids are going to look back and judge Big Oil CEOs as absolute monsters — and these “rude” protestors as total heroes.
This is huge. This is absolutely monumental. We just shut down an event honoring Exxon CEO Darren Woods. The whole room fled. We showed up & prevented this monster from uttering a word. We will resist him with all we've got. There is no choice.

Today we learned that Clarence Thomas's salary complaints sparked fears that he would resign. Not long after, he was inundated with gifts from GOP megadonors (some of which I highlighted in this video). He must resign or be impeached if SCOTUS is going to retain any credibility.

It's time to put our money where our mouth is. We need to double down on our commitment to climate action and phase out fossil fuels.

Once again: Workers are not driving inflation. Corporate profits are still near record levels. Meanwhile, wages are just now slowly outpacing inflation. It’s time for the Fed to stop putting the blame on workers.

Not only is Texas' decision Ms. Cox can't get a medically necessary abortion appalling, one of the women in another Texas case, whose fetus didn't have a chance of surviving, was allowed to deliver only after she became septic, leaving her with permanent physical damage.

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates

Once fascists are able to take power, they are often very hard to remove. In order to fight this dangerous ideology worldwide, we must learn to recognize how it works, how it comes to power, and what we must change to prevent its rise. @WaldenBello @FPIF:

The Biden administration has bypassed Congress to approve an “emergency” sale of over $100 million of tank ammunition to Israel. Josh Paul, who resigned from the State Department over U.S. policy arming the onslaught in Gaza, says Biden is avoiding accountability.

.@RepJeffries @HouseDemocrats @SenSchumer @SenMarkey @SenWarren @SenSanders @SenateDems GOP wants to surveille everybody. Vote NO on the House Intelligence Committee's Section 702 "reform"!
Hotels, libraries, coffee shops, and other places that offer wifi to their customers could be forced to serve as surrogate spies. They could be required to configure their systems to ensure that they can provide the government access to entire streams of communications. 5/11

4th year anniversary of non violent civil disobedience action at Enbridge compressor station in Weymouth. Nothing has changed: Enbridge continues to emit carcinogens, MADEP continues to permit and residents continue to protest. @maura_healey @EEASecretary @MiriamWasser @massdep

The path to #ClimateJustice travels through a #FreePalestine 🍉🌻 We call on our communities fighting for climate justice to see this as our struggle and demand that we cut military funding to Israel, and begin the process of demilitarization so that we can all be free.
