The core of the war in Iran is that we remain addicted to oil. If we had acted on science, away from climate crisis, we would no longer depend on fossil-fuels. Just like many actors are doing. War accelerates global warming. A vicious spiral. We all lose. mailchi.mp/75017dfaa31e/c…

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. They control the AI you're integrating into your lives, the algorithms feeding you content, and your personal data you've given up for access. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us, and we’re not talking enough about it. Pay attention.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Trump is raising tariffs on 8 NATO allies because they rightly support Denmark's sovereignty in Greenland. Destroying our closest alliances to take Greenland — which Denmark lets us use freely already — is insane. Congress must say NO.

All eyes on #Iran! Wir müssen hinschauen & die Botschaften der Iraner*innen in diesen kritischen Stunden teilen & laut machen. Die Bundesregierung muss jetzt mehr tun! Denn es geht darum, die Zivilgesellschaft im Kampf für Freiheit & Demokratie zu unterstützen. #آزادی #ایران
