Worth noting that DHS claims it raided the Hyundai-LG plant to protect workers. The fact that Hyundai is a shitty boss shouldn't trick anyone into believing that the Trump administration is defending the working class

It's divide and conquer 101, now with EVs newrepublic.com/article/2001...

I wrote about the EPA dismantling greenhouse gas regulations, the International Court of Justice’s climate ruling and the limits of belief newrepublic.com/article/1982...

I wrote about chemtrails, Lee Zeldin, and how his EPA routinely brags about its participation in a conspiracy to let corporations poison us

The answer isn’t better storytelling, but offering tangible ways to make people’s lives more comfortable and affordable as temperatures rise

It’s hard to go from thinking of climate action primarily as charity and/or a great business opportunity, to reckoning with the fact that it’s rapidly destroying lives and municipal budgets

I wrote about the floods in Central Texas, ICE in Los Angeles, and why this moment feels so discordant with the last decade of climate politics in the U.S. newrepublic.com/article/1977...

Hard to overstate just how taxing and dangerous it is to climb in and out of 130F trucks in 90-100F heat for 10+ hours, all as bosses monitor practically every movement and second of your shift with surveillance technology

I spent the week talking to UPS Teamsters from around the country about what it’s like to deliver hundreds of packages in a heatwave, in trucks that still aren’t air conditioned, in a country without federal workplace protections for heat newrepublic.com/article/1972...

The percentage of wealthy donors to both parties who want a war with Iran is much, much higher than the percentage of the country that wants that www.axios.com/2025/06/19/i...

The more fossil fuels we burn, the hotter it gets
June 21, 2025 at 2:02 PM
I am not a lawyer but I cannot think of a single definition of "free market" that would accurately describe the production and distribution of fossil fuels in the United States

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Does disgraced sex pest Andrew Cuomo want the U.S. to follow billionaire, warmongering Trump supporter Bill Ackman - who’s donated $500,000 to pro-Cuomo super PAC - into a disastrous, unpopular war in Iran? newrepublic.com/article/1969...

I wrote about burning Waymos in Los Angeles, ICE raids and why Republicans and their donors in Silicon Valley want us to believe in their vision of hellish/glorious future newrepublic.com/article/1967...

And FWIW unions demanding lots of things are also a big part of why New York has the world’s best bagels! www.atlasobscura.com/articles/bag...

I wrote about how the GOP wants poor people to bake in their homes in what could be the hottest summer ever, and why welfare programs are climate policies, too newrepublic.com/article/1958...
