All true! And the takeaway here is that If you are a journalist who writes about climate or environmental issues, you should join SEJ. Collaboration and idea-sharing in our field is more important now than ever.
SEJ conferences spark stories. At #SEJ2025, @jeffgoodell.bsky.social and @elizabarclay.bsky.social of @nytopinion.nytimes.com examined how extreme heat is deepening inequality.

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

“But no one wants to live next to a datacenter. The ammonia, and the smell of that, from gas will be worse than the coal plant, and the power generated will be used in service of private profit rather than keep households’ lights on."

Looking forward to breathless media coverage of drivers of internal combustion engine vehicles who are suffering from range anxiety because gas stations are becoming ghost stations.
The EU‘s fight over the ‚combustion engine ban‘ was a waste of the public‘s attention. Performative politics. By 2035, collectors with special licenses may still want one, if they can pay for the fuel and find some last gas station. History doesn‘t proceed in a linear fashion.

Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.
