After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
“Why does capital love fossil fuels?
…They exist in a small number of discrete locations…the right to exploit them can be owned and monopolised…They can be stored and traded all over the world, allowing prices to be optimised across time and space…”

Trump attacked the Smithsonian for depicting "how bad slavery was."
Meanwhile, he's pushing schools to partner with PragerU, which tells children the evils of slavery are exaggerated.
I've been sounding the alarm on them for years.
Loving your book; absolutely brilliant. Excited for the series. I also hope you get to translate it into a graphic novel and a tv series / movie.
there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here
“In society the law represents what we value, what we want to protect, says Debbie Buyaki, Youth for Ecocide Law. “It’s like a mirror - a reflection of our values.” #ecocide
Corporations, law firms, schools, and more continue to “bend the knee” to Trump for all kinds of false claims. Each concession to his fraudulent demands further erodes democracy.

Where it starts is never where it starts. The news that DOJ is prioritizing denaturalizations, combined with very vague explanations of who they will prioritize, is deeply concerning. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The tyranny continues as the U.S. roots deeper in totalitarianism.

We need more people willing to say what needs to be said and that listen to what the people want like @repjasmine.bsky.social @joyannreid.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social @katmabu.bsky.social @mcbride.house.gov @ilhanmn.bsky.social
May the Democrat Party learn to listen to the people and not the establishment and wealthy. The people want a party with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov beliefs leading the party.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Justice Sotomayor wrote, “By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent.”

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”

"The United States is a fraying society, torn apart by polarization, intense disagreement, and ratcheting extremism," writes @brianklaas.bsky.social:
Climate disasters can alter kids’ brains — before they’re even born.
"What we are seeing is compelling evidence that the climate crisis is not just an environmental emergency, it is potentially a neurological one."

It’s not just that the oligarchs don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes.
Many of them literally do not believe in the concept of government.
They are rich and powerful and have the “divine right” to do anything they want.
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
