@AaronRegunberg This is just not a cool tweet, man. I have long believed those “pesky climate activists” are not effective and deserve critique. Big theme in my book! I also have deep disdain for corporate dems/capitalists and have written about that. Both can be true!

@Matthuber78 as a former democratic speechwriter -- it's an excellent piece. caring about the climate means being ruthless about winning. thanks for writing it!
English
I know some are very angry, but this is pretty cool.

Hello, it’s me in @nytopinion. The Democratic Party is historically unpopular & hemorrhaging working class voters. Focusing on the issue of climate change —an issue mainly impt to their educated/affluent base—is not a way to reverse this. This marks the end of an era. 👇

@PeterLyngso Yeah I hear you. Ben Fong had a great review of the book here: catalyst-journal.com/2023/12/john-w…

@Matthuber78 I thought of this book yesterday when I saw the article !
theoretically it's great and makes sense but I haven't seen a lot of political will in unions to make the heavy investments in stuff like aggressive s*lting and political education to make it possible

"To China, nuclear energy is not only about supplying more electricity with less emissions. Reactor technology development is closely linked to the country’s innovation capacity, industrial ambition, and international prestige."

Crucial report on the continued centrality of manufacturing to the US economy.

@Matthuber78 @70sBachchan That’s not really what your oped said.
English
this kind of polling tells you why everyone wants to make climate about the economy (affordability, jobs, well-being etc). Is there a "silent majority" of american voters on climate?

@DougHenwood @nytopinion I think we’ve been talking about it for decades yet not built the power to address it. I’m contesting that climate should be at the *center* of a political realignment project ala the Green New Deal.
English
@jyn_urso Workers could demand more robust policies to protect them from layoffs etc. I’m also the kinda socialist who thinks automation can be harnessed toward more socially useful ends. Here are some provisional thoughts I wrote last summer w/ @hollyjeanbuck. jacobin.com/2025/07/artifi…

Fascinating analysis.
Jacobin@jacobin
The AI boom runs on electricity, and electricity runs on colossal machines built by hand in a handful of plants across the South. These factories are a choke point in the AI build-out, giving workers massive leverage — if they can organize: jacobin.com/2026/05/worker…

No Senate race in the country more slept on than Nebraska.

🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨 Dan Osborn leads Pete Ricketts 47-42 in a new poll! Pete Ricketts didn't earn his Senate seat. His daddy bought it. Nebraskans are ready for someone who actually has their back. tavernresearch.com/research-and-w…

.@JaneAFlegal: We should fix our tax code so it's much more progressive, and we should tax the shit out of these people and use federal money to plan and build a grid that benefits all of us.
Alas, that is not where we are.

@donaldp1917 I'm sure you'd love them. Lawn tickets are (relatively) cheap this summer. But yeah, not like it used to be. :-(

@Matthuber78 I probably just need to see them live, shame it’s so expensive these days

@NathanJRobinson @nytopinion Dude saying the article is the same as the 'core thesis' of the book -- we cannot solve climate change without mass, working-class power--is different than saying the article overlaps w/ *every passage* in the book. There are LOTS of passages I would write differently today.
English
@Matthuber78 @nytopinion "The article has the same thesis as the book"
"You're right, the article does contradict what I said in the book, I have shifted my views since writing it because History."
Please pick one
English
As it happens, today is the 4 year anniversary of this.
Some have suggested the @nytopinion piece contradicts it, but they have the same thesis: we can not meet the scale of climate change w/out broad-based political power based on popular, majoritarian working-class politics.

@donaldp1917 For sure they don't write song songs like the Dead. But their compositional stuff is next level (and sets them apart from all the other jam bands imo).
English
@Matthuber78 Ive heard some live jams that were really good tbh but that just don’t have the songwriting that grabs me like the Dead do
English
I’m just unclear as to why climate change has to be abandoned in national political discourse for the greater left when emerging outrage against data centers—a very environmental issue—is doing crazy bipartisan majority numbers all over the country

Hell yes this: 🔥
Searchlight Institute@SearchlightInst
.@mollytaft: Jane Flegal, a senior fellow at the Searchlight Institute and a climate official under President Biden, is the author of a recent report that suggests ways to use the AI boom to incentivize tech companies to help pay for needed upgrades to the grid. Tax abatements, the report says, should be restructured to make sure that data center builders connect power to the grid, making behind-the-meter gas options less attractive. Flegal also advocates for permitting reform to make sure that more clean energy can get added to the grid as quickly as possible. wired.com/story/chevron-…
