- I can't get over the U.S. making up a whole-ass fake cartel to pin on Maduro. Cartel de los Soles sprung forth fully formed when the US gov started talking about it as a "terrorist organization" in 2020. Then Rubio *clearly* got Guyana to talk about it too. I mean this is just silly:
- Man, people asking for free labor and not even saying thank you. In this economy??!!!
- The Washington Post was consistently doing some of the best climate reporting out there in recent years. This is a huge loss (h/t @sammyroth.bsky.social) open.substack.com/pub/climatec...
- Side note: really feel like we need to just call dumb things dumb more. We went off track with being nice about dumbness
- This is so fucking stupid. No one wants this, even the car companies! Only cranky old guys who just want to go back to the 1980s. theicct.org/pr-nhtsa-pro...

- People often ask me why I left the U.S. and there are various reasons but the thing that made me start really making an exit strategy was when journalists covering Standing Rock were being arrested. Historically a very bad sign for democracy. Seeing it get worse and more blatant is scary and sad
- This Bonaire v Netherlands climate ruling is *fascinating*. Also hugely recommend signing up for @isabellakaminski.bsky.social’s newsletter if you have even a passing interest in climate cases, it’s terrific! www.the-wave.net/r/ee9c1bff?m...
- It's hard to feel like anything but punching Nazis matters right now, so we @drilledmedia.bsky.social have been busy connecting the dots between climate and everything we're seeing around the world. Today: repression of protest w/ @berglundoscar.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkbF...
- That thing we are seeing in Minneapolis that we haven't seen in a long time and need a helluva lot more of is solidarity.
