"There are currently one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every day ... Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day." 😳

I'm not a political strategist, but considering we are on a societal worst-case trajectory already, I suspect the play now is to build enough messaging infrastructure that people correctly assign blame.

So excited to read extraction!! Been following the authors of A Planet To Win since a fun reading group that went over it and think it remains some of the best writing about why a green new deal, or broadly just climate policy that works for people and workers, is the way out of our current crises.

Thrilled to see this review of EXTRACTION by @scottwstern.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com. A very thorough essay that situates the book in broader debates about mining, the energy transition, the history of global capitalism, and the possible green futures ahead www.theatlantic.com/books/2025/1...

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

In a world riven by inequality and devastated by climate + ecological crisis, what would it take for "green industrial policy" to empower the working class in Global North + South, and be truly green?

Oregon attempted to map wildfire risk, for insurance purposes. It produced a deranged, paranoid, conspiracy-addled backlash from the right wing. So the map was killed.

We are so utterly unprepared for climate change.
How the Rapid Spread of Misinformation Pushed Oregon Lawmakers to Kill the State’s Wildfire Risk Map
After Oregon’s record-breaking fire season in 2020, lawmakers wanted to map out which properties were most at risk. But anger from homeowners escalated quickly.
