My substack "Surviving The 21st Century" unpacks environmental, economic, social justice and political challenges facing the planet and human civilization, and lays out solutions to those problems. Here's a highlighted post. "It's Gaza, not Hamas" LINK: ericbrooks.substack.com/p/its-gaza-not… The Phrase “Israel’s War with Hamas” Denies That Israel’s War Is On Gaza & Denies The Gazans’ Right To Choose Their Own Leaders & Destiny..

On the first day of the unprovoked US-Israeli War on Iran, the Pentagon launched a double-tap Tomahawk missile strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, obliterating the building and slaughtering 155 people — 120 of whom were small children With the Trump administration still refusing to acknowledge its role in the worst US military massacre since My Lai, The Grayzone’s @wyattreed13 went to Minab to investigate the scene of the crime firsthand

@CalNurses BlueMAGA is RedMAGA!

@CBSLosAngeles @APAPANational and @pomonacollege are disenfranchising California voters. I poll even or ahead of Mahan, Thurmond, and Villaraigosa in every poll, yet the Dems will get 6 candidates, while 3rd party and Indy voters get NONE. Raise. Hell. (818) 655-2000

Once the massive battery storage, other storage, and Virtual Power Plant coordination used in China is accounted for, China's consumption of renewables and hydro are 30% *not* less than 10% as you are erroneously claiming. See the following sites (requires translator): cweea.com.cn/xwdt/html/4089… and titanwind.com.cn/news/2751.html

China is supposedly leading in clean energy. Or is it? youtube.com/watch?v=Ff0AYR…

Organizers made this happen, The People's Coalition to Stop Deed Theft. They moved the mayor and other officials to act. facebook.com/profile.php?id…

Major Problem With Your Video: The charts you used clearly just contained raw point source data and didn't account for either battery storage (including EV battery storage), other storage methods, or Virtual Power Plant coordination. (Though you clearly don't, you should actually know about Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) because Germany has led the way on VPP strategies and actively employs VPPs.) Creating a Virtual Power Plant is done in a city or region by coordinating diverse renewable electricity sources, efficiency measures, and demand response (what time of day electric appliances and machines are used) to ensure the electricity grid remains at full needed activity even though there are no baseload fossil fuel plants operating. Adding these factors of storage and VPPs (which are certainly active in China) would greatly increase the amount of actual renewable energy generation and use shown in China. Furthermore, once average battery storage capacity rises from the current 4 hours to 8 hours (which will happen within this decade) your deceptive right wing libertarian claim (based on bs fossil and nuclear industry propaganda libertarians like you all too readily swallow) stating that 'renewables can't do it alone' will become completely false. Please educate yourself more fully before peddling your standard, bogus, Austrian School of Economics talking points.

Israel's bombing of the Tehran synagogue illustrates what many ultra-orthodox Rabbis have long argued: Zionism is not Judaism. Zionism endangers Jews everywhere.

After we recieved two strikes in a few hour on our @YouTube channel; we were demonetized, and now our appeal @YouTubeCreators was rejected in 24hrs. This was our first month of monetization, and we made ±$2500 from ±750k views. We rejected mid-role adds because that would effect our goals; or we would have had 3x the income ±$7500. Ask yourself, how much money is your favourite couch streamer "journalist" making a month on YT, and should they be actually making that money? Some of those channels are racking up 1M views & ±$10k a week. FPTV has always been dependent on our viewers direct generosity and their donations on our website; this YT attack will not change that reality.

@Bowlcutof_Armin The reason people of color were protesting the bill is, it would've perpetuated & worsened rampant gentrification driving them out of their neighborhoods. For example the Black population in SF has declined from 10% to 5% due to YIMBY backed gentrification bills like that one.

@EricBrooksSF There were more yimbys than nimbys at that rally, that's the only important detail from this article. It never discusses the merits of the bill and focuses on tearing down the yimby camp solely on identity politics. Garbage article.

Saikat also has to explain what he was doing for an entire year and a half of genocide, given his current apparently strong views. He made no public statements and appeared at no events, everything he has said about Gaza and Israel has a post-March 2025 time stamp

@Bowlcutof_Armin @hyphy_republic Not talking about 'yimby' lower case (ie. ok with homeless shelters, drug treatment centers, etc in your neighborhood). I mean incorporated Real Estate lobbying front group YIMBY. Here's YIMBY: "Rallies end with YIMBYs shouting down protesters of color" sfexaminer.com/news/sb-827-ra…

@EricBrooksSF @hyphy_republic Yeah. Being a yimby is a good thing.

What part of my telling you that Chakrabarti supported a Wall Street backed candidate who promotes gentrification of people color communities did you not read the first time I posted it? Chakrabarti is South Asian. Lots of South Asians are libertarians like Chakrabarti. His brown skin has ZERO to do with his pro oligarchy politics. Wake the hell up.

@EricBrooksSF @hyphy_republic You're bringing up poc communities. Are you implying that Saikat is not a person of color? Right wingers, Ultralefts, and NIMBYs also tried to paint Zohran as a rich kid supported by gentrifiers. Had we listened to the anti-DSA/NIMBY crowd, Andrew Cuomo would be mayor of NYC.

Honestly dude, get your head out of your behind and do some research. I have been a full time environmental and social justice organizer in San Francisco for 32 years, and Connie Chan has been a vital environmental, social justice and housing justice ally to us. She is openly opposing what lsrael is doing as a genoclde. She is not only a leftist, she is currently the most left member of the SF Board of Supervisors. Wiener and Chakrabarti are so bad that for the first time EVER the San Francisco Green Party (my party) is endorsing a Democrat for the House of Representatives - Connie Chan. We have never done that before in our entire 30+ year history. We are doing so because Chakrabarti is a lying libertarian who is *bad* news and because we MUST stop both him and Wiener.

@EricBrooksSF @hyphy_republic I've read her platform. It's boilerplate liberal/progressive stuff. She's not a leftist. She has a history of supporting Pelosi. She has Adam Schiff's endorsement. And she obediently waited for Pelosi to retire before running. She doesn't have a radical bone in her body.

@James7684030931 @hyphy_republic Connie Chan has been the leading Supervisor in San Francisco fighting for tenants, neighborhoods and people of color communities against Wall Street real estate investors. I gave you the link. Look up her record. Here it is again: conniechansf.com/issues

@EricBrooksSF @hyphy_republic She's a socialist? Or a progressive Democrat?

@James7684030931 @hyphy_republic Dude.. Look up his record. As a billionaire, in San Francisco, he supported a Wall Street YIMBY backed candidate for the Board of Superviors (Bilal Mahmood) and thereby helped cynically unseat the sitting Supervisor Dean Preston who is a tenant rights and environmental champion.

@EricBrooksSF @hyphy_republic He didn't just work on AOC's campaign. He was her campaign manager. And he co-founded Justice Democrats, which of course boosted the campaigns of Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, etc. And he actually had the nerve to run against Pelosi with anti-zionist positions. But he is rich.

@James7684030931 @hyphy_republic Huh? Connie Chan is the actual progressive social justice, tenant rights, and environmental champion in the House of Representatives race. See her platform here: conniechansf.com/issues

@EricBrooksSF @hyphy_republic I don't understand why there wasn't an effort to run someone more grassroots-aligned. Pelosi is despised by the left, why was it such a struggle to run a leftist?

@James7684030931 @hyphy_republic Chakrabarti is a charlatan, hundred billionaire. Connie Chan is the actual progressive social justice, tenant rights, & environmental champion in the race. As a grassroots organizer I've worked with her personally on tenant and environmental justice. See: conniechansf.com/issues

@hyphy_republic @EricBrooksSF This extreme skepticism of every person who dares to win is all fine for discourse, but it does not build the power of the left.

@James7684030931 @hyphy_republic This is different. Saikat Chakrabarti IS the 1% oligarchy. He is a tech-bro hundred billionaire libertarian. He worked on AOC's campaign so that he could later pretend that he is a progressive. All of his progressive promises are lies.

@EricBrooksSF @hyphy_republic But you also dislike Bernie Sanders and AOC, right?
