The great American poet Wallace Stevens wrote: “After the final no there comes a yes. And on that yes the future world depends.” Today, the US finally said yes to climate action.
Let us embrace this moment as a tipping point for climate action – in America and around the world.

34 years and 40 days ago, Jim Hansen broke the news of global warming to the U.S. Senate.
Finally, today, they act
It's late, it's deeply compromised, and it's also a great victory for all who have fought so long and hard.
Such thanks to all of you, and on to the next battles

“To understand this kingdom, fungi aficionados argue, is to see the natural world differently — less as a collection of individual species, with humans dominating them all, and more as a web of organisms dealing with crises together.” @Giulifungi nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

An astonishing number of Republicans and former Trump aides have calmly, factually testified under oath that the entire country was put at risk by the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Average list price for a unit of insulin:
Australia: $6.94
UK: $7.52
France: $9.08
Germany: $11
Canada: $12
Japan: $14.40
United States $98.70
This is what happens when Big Pharma buys off a country’s political system.
None of this is acceptable. It has to change.

Joe Biden should definitely declare a climate emergency; Hillary Clinton was going to in 2017. It's just common sense billmckibben.substack.com/p/…

Big Oil's Manchinian candidate keeps Congress's record intact: no real climate legislation ever.

Excited to see my byline in @TIME (twice) today. Wrote about one of my favorite places: Japan's revived Setouchi Islands and the world's longest suspension bridge in the Czech Republic (COVER image).
Thanks to my TIME editors @brekkefletch and @jenniduggan.

Over 70% of Americans support gun safety legislation, marriage equality, abortion rights, gov't funding for childcare, paid maternity leave, raising the minimum wage, and more
This country isn't divided. A radical, armed, anti-democratic minority is attempting a hostile takeover

The rightwing is scary, extreme, dangerous --and also remarkably unpopular.
It's time to make the majorities for gun control, choice, and climate action actually count. Be The Backlash

Spend 5 minutes today learning about Moore v. Harper.
If the Trump Court rules that states can ultimately decide elections regardless of how people vote it will be the actual END of the world as you know it.
Fact not hyperbole.
Jim Kane 🇺🇦 retweeted
The Supreme Court spent the last week scorning huge popular majorities on choice, guns, and climate.
Our job is to be the backlash. At the polls, and against the corporations that funded all this. We have to make majorities matter.

Justice Kagan, in dissent:
"The Court appoints itself—instead of Congress or the expert agency—the decisionmaker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening."
Jim Kane 🇺🇦 retweeted
The Court's insane overreach has given Joe Biden the greatest political opportunity of recent times. He has to get on a train and take full advantage. Right now.
