At Climate & Energy conference @volts.wtf criticizes the climate movement for becoming an "everything movement," citing the inclusion of "environmental justice" and "labor." If those of us online could ask questions, I'd ask David to expand on how EJ and labor are "other" to the climate crisis?

Good news: a federal judge just paused Wilber's deportation. The government shouldn’t be allowed to shoot you from an unmarked vehicle and then cover it up by deporting you. Keep speaking out, it's working.

I first started reporting on Texas’ systematic heat torture of prisoners over a decade ago. It’s taken far too long to get here, and 2029 is far too long a time to allow this suffering to continue. Nonetheless, it’s good to finally bear witness to this ruling.

Wilber Garcés Pérez "was taken to a hospital late Monday after experiencing paralysis on the left side of his body, his lawyer said." On Sunday, ICE had forced him to leave the hospital even though he still had a bullet lodged in his back/doctors arguing it was "reckless." ICE wanted him to die.
