Watching former Governor Baker of MA & env. agencies under his iron fist IGNORE climate laws was shocking for me (at the time). Seeing employees/leaders of DEP lie under oath w/ ø consequences was shocking. Watching Gov. Healey roll over for Enbridge NOW = 🤬
🚨politicians need consequences!!

initial thoughts as I haven’t finished the piece yet: there’s a lot of what can the climate movement do now? I have never seen an article that covered the breadth/depth of what has been done to fight gas/oil.

What about the huge/unlimited resources & influence of the gas & oil industry?

If Trump (“Bone Spur”) sends the @NationalGuard (on X) to Boston, he’ll be embarrassing American troops. Ask military brass off the record. 🇺🇸

Scene from The Sound of Music:
Max: What's going to happen's going to happen.
Just make sure it doesn't happen to you.
Captain von Trapp: Max. Don't you *ever* say that

Max: You know I have no political convictions. Can
I help it if other people do?
Captain: Oh yes, you can help it. You must help it.

A wee bit of MBTA and COVID memes. I still don’t know who did the baby Baker comic! The last one is about COVID. Remember when MA had a huge body count?

a 1940’s style mom has her hands on her hips, looking at a depiction of a young boy Charlie Baker. She says: CHARLIE DUANE BAKER, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH TRAINS? Young Charlie says: Nothing… as he has completely wrecked all the train lines he’s plauing with

the orange line when it caught fire on a bridge over the Charles River. Scrawled above the smoking train is RESULTS which is what Baker was touting at the time regarding the mbta

Trade Offer meme showing Baker overlaid with hands/fingers tented in front of him. “I receive: UNWARRANTED POPULARITY from a clueless constituency.” "You receive: A BODY COUNT"

image shows former MA Governor Baker with his long arms outstretched with GOVERNOR GAS GIVES NO F*CKS ABOUT OUR HEALTH. An illustration of gas stove flames are in his hands

4-panel drowning hand comic: panel 1 hand outstretched from water for help “weymouth & fore river basin”; panel 2 Gov. Baker, AG Healey, and State Agencies should be the helping hand. drowning hand says Pls use MA laws to stop unnecessary gas compressor from being built!; panel 3 show the helping hand high-fiving the drowning hand, and it says YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN. WE GET TO PRETEND WE ARE CLIMATE CHAMPIONS WHILE NOT DOING EVERYTHING CAN TO EASILY STOP A GAS COMPRESSOR. Panel 4 shows us sinking under the water by ourselves.

Cleaning out some digital debris, found some gems. I did not create the “this is fine” baker bobblehead… this was from good-twitter days, cannot remember who made it. Jordan? I riffed on it. Most of the ire is regarding the Enbridge gas compressor in Weymouth

This image shows former MA Governor Baker’s back with “I really don’t care, do you?” on his back a la Melania’s infamous jacket

Ray Liotta in Good Fellas laughing hysterically with LMFAO GOV. BAKER HAS NO CONSCIENCE typed over it

This 2 panel comic image shows former MA Governor Baker’s head overlaid the This Is Fine dog who sits in a room in flames. next to his head is an air permit mockup for the Enbridge gas compressor in Weymouth, MA

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

Mr. Benioff spoke as his annual Dreamforce conference is set to begin Tuesday in downtown San Francisco, bringing 50,000 visitors to the city. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote address about the benefits of "agentic enterprise," a business model in which humans and artificial intelligence bots work together.
Speaking by telephone from his private plane en route to San Francisco, he lamented that he has to pay for nundreds of off-duty law enforcement officers to help patrol the convention area and said that San Francisco needed to "re-fund" the police.
The city never actually "defunded" its police force, and San Francisco's violent crime rates are below those in many other U.S. cities.
But San Francisco has struggled to recruit and keep officers, and it still has problems with lower-level crimes and open-air drug use, especially in neighborhoods like the Tenderloin near City Hall. It has about 1,500 police officers, and Mr. Benioff says it ne → another thousand.
