Weak US coverage of #COP30 is troubling:
-Scant criticism of the Trump administration’s decision to skip
-No acknowledgement of fossil fuel lobby corruption of the UNFCCC
-Little coverage of the Indigenous & Youth protests pushing their way into the negotiation hall

It is getting increasingly interesting... Protesters break into #COP30 Conference venue in Belém. They demand an involvement of indigenous and youth groups in the negotiations. They are not at the negotiation desks and they don't have the lobby power that the fossil fuel industry has 🫤

Imagine a parallel-universe US with a ~$20 trillion public wealth fund, built from the profits that O&G owners/executives/major shareholders took in our universe. Imagine how much better US health care, education, infrastructure, childcare, retirement support, etc. could be. Breaks the brain a bit.
(Norway's oil fund is about $2 trillion [about $350k per person], built from oil reserves and past production that are about 10x smaller than America's. Which puts the hypothetical US oil fund in a parallel universe at $20 trillion or so, very roughly.)

Kinda weird that after a solid year of daily front page coverage of President Biden’s infirmities, that the @nytimes.com is now barely giving any attention to Trump’s on camera sundowning, his obvious confusion and digressive mumbling.

One way I’ve heard the Renaissance described is as a mass realization that people could build things and make art as good or better than the Romans had.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

In the United States, policing has been a deeply broken, corrupt system for decades, and it’s getting worse by the day.
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

“We do hard things” absolutely kicks ass as a political slogan
It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:
1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.
