Well it’s been a long, longtime since I’ve checked in. I lost my partner (sudden and unexpected natural-causes death) and have been in semi-seclusion for a year of grieving and getting back on my feet again. I have no idea if anyone is still following me since I’ve been dormant for so long.

1. European and UK ministers are still talking as if their biggest potential security problem is a withdrawal of US support. But that is not their biggest potential security problem. It’s that, under Trump, the US will back Putin not just diplomatically but also militarily. 🧵

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Some light reading :-) for y'all. Five books for this annus horribilis. If you like book reviews, maybe more to come.

maybe you'd better read them before they're banned...

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

How we got into this mess, and how we get out of it. Capitalism is compatible with democracy only if democracy is the dominant partner. It was dominant from 1933 until 1980. Then hyper-capitalism took over, and finally gave us Trump. @rbreich.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

And who has the final word on how the Constitution is interpreted? SCOTUS. Now completely compromised by oligarch money and extremist religious cults.

More baldly: Do you want to be the somewhat democratic United States of America, or the oligarchic Failed State of Muskistan? because those are the menu options, folks. White Americans are being asked which is more important to them, white supremacy or their country. I fear the poll result.

I understand what people mean when they say "It's not left/right, it's up/down." But seriously, it's the LEFT that traditionally understands that it's up/down. That's called class consciousness, class struggle, class war. Lefty stuff.

As I note in this piece, we've actually seen this weird mishmash of ridiculously wealthy businessmen and dipshits whose main qualification is loyalty to the president about a hundred years ago. It was the Cabinet of Warren G. Harding and, hoo boy, did that not turn out well.

Portrait, I mean. Portrait.

40% of the mass of everything transported by a ship in 2023 was a fossil fuel. That stat paired with this new study shines a pretty harsh spotlight on how obscenely bad-faith the right-wing concern trolling around offshore wind + whales is www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

UW study finds leading cause of whale deaths

New research shows that the top threat to whales around the globe has changed. But it wouldn't take much to reduce the risk, researchers say.

I went to a pop-up holiday market and this white lady selling hand made ceramic earrings was proudly displaying the political message left by an assassin on bullet casings after a successful murder so that’s a bit of a data point for Where Things Are

A table at a craft fair-type event shows ceramic items for sale, including earrings, a smiley face spoon, and other knickknacks. There are ceramic letters on the table spelling out “deny depend depose”. The artist is a white woman in glasses standing proudly with her work.
