All about fighting for climate justice. Happy to nerd out on the clean energy transition, cityscapes for people not cars, and way too many other things. Need an occasional baby animal video for sanity.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

Five years after the Capitol attack, America is a #fossilfueledfascist petro state. Political violence is at its highest level since the 1970s, and global experts classify the US as an “electoral autocracy” rather than a full democracy. That should alarm all of us.

The suffering this illegal Trump-Miller scheme—executed by Noem and Lewandowski—has caused is beyond measure.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.

The “silent majority” for #ClimateAction needs to get loud.

People want action. Smart cities need to go much further, much faster.
Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

Trump and his nazi minions are running a savage concentration camp here in Minneapolis. @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social details it:
My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.

It is impossible to read this stuff without it utterly breaking your heart.

And all these grown adults, elected & appointed, so many moments intervention could have helped, straight through from then until now, have done nothing but let these 1000+ little girls suffer for decades.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

We put the pressure on ALL elected leaders. How? By the simple, and boring things that work. Call. Write. Protest. Demand records.

Many people roll their eyes at those things, as though they are futile acts. WRONG. Those are the most effective tools we have.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
