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.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

We have all 3 key ingredients of a strongman state: a rubber-stamp Congress acceding to the president’s desires; a Supreme Court enhancing the president’s powers; and a power-hungry president behaving like a king, disregarding the checks and balances of our Constitution. trib.al/aZ6wq0J

Elon Musk just got a pay package from Tesla shareholders that is worth nearly $1 trillion.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are losing SNAP benefits and healthcare because of Musk's allies in DC.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Trump reportedly demanded that the DOJ pay him for past criminal cases brought against him.
Reminder that the DOJ doesn't have to make a public announcement, meaning they could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy.
That's unprecedented, unethical and unacceptable.

The fact that this Democratic tsunami swept across the country so unstoppably shows that Trumpism & MAGA barely exist outside of social media anymore. Their movement has collapsed among the population — and it’s impossible to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.
