“Depending on green growth or green capitalism alone cannot guarantee a meaningful transition away from fossil fuels because fossil fuel extraction and use is, and will continue to be, extremely profitable.”

Ahead of my book release, I wrote a piece for the newly launched Break/ Down, which focuses on capitalism and the climate crisis. In it, I preview one of my main arguments on what a just transition does- and doesn’t- entail

Wait, tv presenters can push back against politicians when they say something wrong or unclear?? Wild.

Watching the BBC and the MP in studio has a less than 1% chance of holding onto his seat 😬

It’s nice to be in London and waiting for election results without a total sense of dread and doom

A real tax on the public. "Project Canary and two other companies—Equitable Origin and MiQ—provide certifications for nearly 40% of all gas produced in the United States, according to the report. Gas utility companies have begun selling certified gas and charging ratepayers a premium for it."

Low-Emission ‘Gas Certification’ Is Greenwashing, Climate Advocates Conclude in a Contested New Report - Inside Climate Newsinsideclimatenews.org Gas utilities see certified gas as a way to sell low-carbon fuel at a premium. U.S. senators are calling on the FTC to investigate the industry’s claims.

It is estimated that the total scope of reconstruction of the Strip will take anywhere between 40 and 80 years depending on whether Israel reimposes its illegal blockade and the degree to which its blockade is enforced. 40 to 80 years. If the war ends today, I will be 63 years old at the youngest.

Do people on here genuinely not get that more than 70% of Gaza City literally does not exist anymore. Are you people fucking stupid.

I watched the movie Pride to celebrate Pride and if you haven’t seen it, it’s an absolute must watch

Illinoise is the most moving, beautiful show I've seen in a while. I'm not even that familiar with Sufjan Stevens but the staging and production was amazing. Highly, highly recommend

Thinking of Aaron Swartz and the miscarriage of justice in light of this announcement.

Nothing is sacred anymore.

Jamaal Bowman's loss is very bad for many reasons one that I think gets lost is that he's one of very, very few elected officials that is not independently wealthy, actually worked in schools, and the legislation he supported reflected that.

twenty thousand children

Over 20,000 children estimated to be lost, detained or buried under rubblewww.savethechildren.org.uk Up to 21,000 children are estimated to be missing in the chaos of the war in Gaza, many trapped beneath rubble, detained or buried in unmarked graves.

The thing about trains is that they leave and arrive in the city center and you can bring water and yoghurt to eat and you have to get there like 15 min beforehand. 🥰🥰🥰

Lately, one of my personal refrains has been “war is a euphemism.” :: “Israeli forces demolished 565 Palestinian-owned structures in the occupied West Bank between January 1 and June 10, displacing 1,034 people, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.”

Why are economists.

A verbal tick that makes my skin crawl is when people say, “mmok?” And the end of their sentences. It gives super condescending vibes. Might also be because this industry woman is making me want to throw up on her
