Prison companies are making profit off a system that results in record breaking deaths among a population who in most cases have done nothing wrong other than coming here and asking us for help

When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Breaking News! Code: y-Axis Alert! Yesterday's Nino 3.4 preliminary sea-surface temperature anomaly set a new record high, at 3.48°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. To clearly show this anomaly, the y-axis max was raised to 4.0°C. Attention historians: this is gobsmackingly bananas.

In the rush to build data centers, companies are starting to use their own off grid gas generators. This results in much higher emissions – 60% to 80% – compared with using their local electricity grid and risks locking in longer-term fossil dependence. www.theclimatebrink....

Dunno, but this feels like one of those headlines from 2006 we were all looking back at in 2009 -- "Wall Street celebrates new ways or reducing mortgage risk" or the like. "Meta unveiled a plan to raise up to $95 billion in waves of stock offering." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

Una proeza inesperada. El movimiento estudiantil pone fin a 12 años de Gobierno autoritario de Vucic en Serbia. Su lista electoral gana las elecciones con mayoría absoluta. El primer ministro no será un estudiante, sino un cardiólogo. www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

Esto es así.

Macron tried to ban protests today. 800,000 turned out just in Paris. France told him to "se faire baiser"

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

Absolutely this👇☝🏻

El Niño will lead to a lot of finger pointing and blame. Your beloved Exxon family just wants to make sure you blame the right people.

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act. We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.

The toxicity that @ericlipton.nytimes.com and his colleagues have uncovered is everywhere but if you live in Texas, Louisiana, or Alabama pay special attention

El-Sayed: "Don't get it twisted. I love America. I'm so grateful I get to raise my 2 daughters here in America. I just love America enough to call on her to be America for all of her kids."

Kudos to NBC New York for saying it without equivocation: "The US is to blame for the world falling behind in the fight against climate change."

Europe is angry. Rents are soaring. Energy prices are rising, fueling pain at the pump and inflation. Growth is stagnating. And borrowing costs are climbing in France, Italy, Spain and Greece.

there’s a very amusing dynamic in NYC DSA right now where, in response to Zohran’s YIMBY policies, a bunch of right-wing NIMBY nutcases are joining DSA to try and take over the organization.

Marine scientists have warned for a long time about this. Will the warnings about other tipping points also be mostly ignored? Or will the world start to prioritise stopping global warming? We can do it, but time is running. No more delays is phasing out fossil fuels! www.cp24.com/news/world/2...

🔥💀🔥 50'000 climate deaths in Europe 🔥💀🔥 Media coverage is highlighting Italy, correctly, but proportional to population, Switzerland is number 3 in Europe. Above Spain and France. Central-Eastern countries Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria all in top 10.

If this death toll was the result of a terrorist attack, the world would be up in arms And remember, this is not the new normal From the perspective of 2100, or even 2050, the summer of 2026 will be one of the coolest www.theguardian.com/environment/...

❗️Ukraine's General Staff now also confirms that Starlink/Starshield connection losses are still being recorded at certain speeds. Despite the disruption, Ukrainian forces continue striking Russian military targets. #Ukraine

More than a year after a devastating wildfire destroyed the Hawaiian town of Lahaina, residents were found to have high levels of arsenic and other toxic metals in their bodies. via @grist.org

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

“I think America is big enough for all of us. [JD Vance’s] view of America is small. It's small like him.” A lot of money quotes in this @gregsargent.bsky.social interview with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, but this is the best one in my view.

Need someone to invent a way that I can be in Chicago, Dallas, and Maricopa all at once on Election Day.

A subtropical storm could form later today or tonight off the U.S. east coast. This system has already produced coastal flooding, beach erosion, and marine impacts and will continue to due so as it slowly moves away from the coast this week. hurricanes.gov

Nice graphic of where all these metrics ended up in 2025, compared to 2015's projections

Ambitious but very welcome attempt to quantify the avoided harmful pollution thanks to climate policies here: between 0.6 - 1.8 gigatonnes of CO2-e We don't make anywhere NEAR enough noise about how much suffering we've stopped by preventing fossil fuel use as a precursor to preventing more of it

Can't wait for this thing to take my job, collapse my job's industry, hopelessly lose money on my job, then need a taxpayer bailout from me despite me having no job anymore.

Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over? Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID

Longyearbyen is warming at between 5 & 7 times the world’s average rate We're getting a glimpse of the chaos to come if the world does not act now on climate change share.google/Fxd4dhTvAVlD...

Straight women who date asexual men expose them to straight culture and electoralism.

France appears to have just broken its national 1-hour, 2-hour, and 3-hour rainfall records, pending official confirmation. Solenzara, on the island of Corsica, has recorded a jaw-dropping 380 mm (15 inches) of rain since 9 a.m.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) wants to scrap the directly elected European Parliament, shrink the European Commission and let Berlin opt out of common EU policies, according to the party’s policy program.

ICE arrested a 56-year old green card holder, i.e. a lawful permanent resident, and detained him in the Rio Grande Processing Center, where he died. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/19/t...

I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the “Protect the Harvest” coalition along with Israelis for Peace, Unarmed Civilian Protection in Palestine & Protect the Harvest.

It's disheartening to see the largest publications in the nation not cite original reporting from independent/individual reporters. Not one mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social's work in ID'ing Tommy. Instead, the WSJ implies that Tommy came forward himself. Disingenuous, at best.

Ken Paxton’s financial disclosures appear to omit rental income on multiple properties. Receiving income and not reporting it is a violation of federal ethics law, three experts said. with @texastribune.org

In the face of total climate collapse and increasing energy prices, will never forget how the UK treated a movement to "Insulate Britain" as a terrorist organization of deranged anti-social criminals.
