My first piece in @us.theguardian.com. Next time you hear a climate disaster described as a crime, remember that this isn’t just rhetoric. These really are crimes -- reckless endangerment, risking catastrophe, manslaughter. It’s time we treated them that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s time to prosecute climate crimes – with laws that already exist | Aaron RegunbergSome have called for Nuremberg-style trials against big oil. But there are laws already on the books to describe companies’ conductwww.theguardian.com

Lethal heat waves ruined the 4th of July. Awful smoke is turning the skies dystopian. Normal people are talking about these climate disasters—a lot. Climate hushers say Dems shouldn’t discuss how the GOP’s Big Oil corruption is to blame for all this. They’re dumb as shit.

Misti Leon is suing Big Oil for killing her mother. A judge just ruled the case can progress towards trial. That’s a big fucking deal. newrepublic.com/article/2130...

The First Wrongful Death Suit Against Big Oil Is Not Going Their WayA judge has ruled that tort claims against the industry can proceed to trial, potentially opening the door for prosecutors to become agents of climate accountability.newrepublic.com

Fuck ICE. Fuck ICE fuck ICE fuck ICE. We need to win and then we need to Nuremberg these murderous Gestapo fucks straight to fucking hell.

Big Oil killed Julie Leon. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. www.eenews.net/articles/jud...

Judge advances first wrongful death lawsuit against oil industryFossil fuel companies had tried to dismiss the lawsuit, which was filed by a woman whose mother died during the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat dome.www.eenews.net

"When white moderates complained in similar fashion about the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King criticized their 'mythical concept of time' in Why We Can’t Wait. We can’t wait when it comes to climate change, either."

Zohran has shown that when a leftist takes executive power, the median Democratic voter will follow and they can remake their party. IMO it's a great argument for an AOC presidential run. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Why Zohran Mamdani Just Made the Case for an AOC Presidential RunAll of the mayor’s endorsed candidates won last week. His ability to reshape New York City’s political landscape shows what happens when a socialist takes executive power.www.thenation.com

What's most infuriating about the Musk trillionaire shit is that his enterprise is built almost exclusively on gov contracts. It's not just that he's expropriating our wealth in an abstract way -- his fortune is built on the tax dollars we pay, that he then obtains through graft.

You say our system is fucked up, but answer me this: Would a fucked up system allocate more wealth to a guy who once called a hero cave diver a pedophile just because he was getting more attention than him after saving a bunch of kids than to the bottom 100 million Americans combined?

We deserve a city government that works for all of us. We deserve a mayor who will fight for renters. It’s time for new leadership in Providence. Let’s get @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social elected.

I wrote about Abigail Spanberger’s veto spree of Dem priorities. Her pro-corporate governance shows the real stakes of the battle for the future of the Democratic Party. If the corporatists win, the fascists will be back one election later, just like Trump in ‘24. newrepublic.com/article/2108...

Zohran Mamdani Gets It. Abigail Spanberger Does Not.The New York City mayor has spent the beginning of his term delivering on one promise after another. The Virginia governor, meanwhile, has been busy vetoing progressive legislation.newrepublic.com

New piece in @newrepublic.com on Alito's conflicts of interest. "Justices like Alito function more like Republican politicians than impartial magistrates. They see their primary obligation as advancing the conservative movement’s political and policy goals." newrepublic.com/article/2104...

Samuel Alito Has a Corruption ProblemThe justice has significant—and familiar—conflicts of interest in an upcoming Big Oil case. The question is: Will he recuse himself?newrepublic.com

Had a real blast talking with my favorite living author George Saunders about climate justice, mercy, and whether or not Big Oil CEOs will have their penises cut off in hell after they die. newrepublic.com/article/2094...

George Saunders: “It’s an Agitating Book for a Lot of People”A lightly spoiler-filled conversation with the author about his new novel, Vigil, climate change, and redemption.newrepublic.com

Here's my response to the Jacobin piece criticizing the movement against AI data centers. A working class coalition has formed in opposition to the Big Tech billionaires enshittifying every aspect of our lives. The Left should be uniformly on its side. jacobin.com/2026/04/data...

Stop the AI Build-Out, Start the FightAcross the country, working-class communities are rising up against Big Tech’s data center boom. A moratorium isn’t the end goal — it’s the only leverage we have to force real democratic control over ...jacobin.com

I'm biased, but I really think you're gonna enjoy today's @fightingfascismpod.bsky.social episode with our good friend Morris Katz, lead strategist for Zohran Mamdani. It's all about why Dems suck and how we can make them suck less -- because we can! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

I wrote something personal for @thenation.com about what it means to try to live a joyful life while your country is committing atrocities. If you like any of the following—Mitchell and Webb, The Zone of Interest, George Saunders, or Chekhov—it may be worth a read! www.thenation.com/article/poli...

What Are Your Obligations When Your Country Is the Villain?Under Trump, the US is unequivocally a force for evil in the world. It can seem morally intolerable to embrace happiness as our government massacres children.www.thenation.com
