Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Let’s do it together.

Bravo, @dananessel.bsky.social! Thrilled that my state is the 11th state to sue Big Oil for the many harms they cause to you and me and everyone else.

This #extremecold —and the physical and psych. harms it may bring—is brought to you by the intentional burning of #fossilfuels. It’s not an accident that we have these extreme weather events. Govts, billionaires, the oil and gas industry, and corporations know this and should be held accountable.

Yes. Reposted from Bernice King’s Instagram.

Opinion | Maduro’s Ouster Plays Right Into Putin’s Hands Allies? Who needs allies?

Regime change in Venezuela, writes M. Gessen, “is a victory for Putin, because it is a blow — quite likely fatal — to the new world order of law, justice and human rights that was heralded in the wake of World War II.”

Reimbursement The U.S. bombed Caracas and called it liberation

Stingless bees from the Amazon granted legal rights in world first Planet’s oldest bee species and primary pollinators were under threat from deforestation and competition from ‘killer bees’

Bravo!—a victory for the Rights of Nature, in two Peruvian regions. Important pollinator bees at risk from #climatechange, #deforestation, and #pesticides.

Opinion | Climate Goals Are Becoming More Realistic. That’s Good News.

Nothing in this David Victor essay indicates that there’s any danger in heating the planet over 2C. Instead, he says that slowing decarbonization is good. 🤔

The Pentagon is hoarding critical minerals that could power the clean energy transition Cobalt, lithium, and other minerals are being stockpiled at the expense of climate action, a new report warns.

Pete Hegseth says the Defense Department “does not do climate change crap.”

But a new report suggests that the Pentagon is engaging with the issue in one serious way: Stockpiling dozens of critical minerals, it is threatening the energy transition by hoarding valuable resources.

US voters linking climate crisis to rising bills despite Trump’s ‘green scam’ claims New polling shows 65% of registered US voters believe global heating is affecting cost of living

Democracy is participatory: Vote your beliefs at local/state/fed level. 66% (incl 57% of lib/mod Repub) also support transitioning the US econ to 100%clean energy by 2050. Current administration intentionally going aggressively in the opposite direction.

Happy to—I know how important those reviews can be!

Ret’d last night from travels incl’g Estonia, part of USSR for 50 yrs. Sobering to see KGB prison cells, Mus of Occupation, & “Soviet Statues Graveyard” that incl’d statues of Stalin. Read @michaelemann.bsky.social’s great book Science Under Seige on way home. Wake/speak/stand up, America.

This administration is so unbelievably destructive.

Yes. ☹️ I’m so sorry, if that’s where you are.

I keep wishing we’d start putting a T for Trump in front of all of the acronyms for this very reason—TNPS, TDOG, etc.

Yes, 100%!

Climate change makes it all worse.

“That breaks down when you are in a world of a changing climate and now … the dice are weighted towards higher flows,” she said.”

We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

More than 1,000 Amazon workers warn rapid AI rollout threatens jobs and climate Workers say the firm’s ‘warp-speed’ approach fuels pressure, layoffs and rising emissions

Remember how we used to be happy without bazillions of products at our fingertips? Let’s bring that back.

“Amazon’s annual emissions have ‘grown roughly 35% since 2019’, despite [its] promise in 2019 to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040”

Another key reminder from this talk is that military emissions are not counted or reported.

They are estimated at 5.5% of global emissions.

What does that say for "net zero"?

Example of why we need the billion-dollar disasters database that Trump & co. got rid of, thankfully brought back to life by @climatecentral.org. Ocean temps along Melissa’s path 800x more likely due to climate change.

So heartbreaking. Another tragic example of those who’ve contributed the least to emissions suffering the most harm. 😔

Bravo for this lawsuit.

“…an unprecedented lawsuit in the UK and globally…the first civil claim to directly link polluting companies to deaths and personal injuries that have already happened...”
