Read this report by @evlondocooper.bsky.social “Less than a month after apologizing for unsupported claims that opponents of a proposed Utah data center were funded by China, Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo again suggested that opposition to data centers might be driven by foreign interests.“

Right-wing media is scrambling to defend the data center buildout, resorting to attacks and smears against a coalition whose grievances their own coverage has already validated.

Watching CBC News, you might not even make the connection between this year's extreme wildfire season, and fossil fuel-induced climate change. Tara Mahoney sits down with @desmondcole.bsky.social to discuss gaps in the public broadcaster’s climate coverage. breachmedia.ca/why-is-cbcs-...

Scan your local news today. How many stories are about something climate change is making worse...without saying so? I counted 8 of those in my feed today, vs just 1 that named climate change directly. Why does this matter? Research shows that making this connection changes how people see it.

Nine screenshots of my google news page today, each describing issues that are directly impacted by climate change, from more dangerous wildfire to changing flood policies.

"Trump gave Iran money” misses the point. Trump inherited the bipartisan fantasy that American power could and should make Iran submit. He acted on it and lost. Economic relief is the price of the off-ramp. But U.S. media still mistakes destructive capacity for the ability to dictate outcomes.

"I will be a senator for the people who cannot afford to buy a senator." That single line is better than 99% of what passes for political rhetoric because it carries authentic class consciousness. Keep your hope and change, I want my own senator.

Minnesota has just become the first state to ban prediction markets. Gov. Tim Walz has signed a bill that makes operating or advertising prediction markets a felony. This sets a major precedent for those seeking to regulate or ban Polymarket, Kalshi, and other sites.

The NYT essay lands in a media environment where viewers are not saturated with climate coverage or climate-policy discussion. The 2020 cycle was the high-water mark because public pressure forced climate into debates. Since then, climate has only receded. www.mediamatters.org/broadcast-ne...

Responding to public pressure, media scrutiny, and reality, presidential debate moderator Chris Wallace actually asks about climate change

It's rare that you're at a conference where you hear a prominent CLIMATE SCIENTIST say he's "never felt so encouraged" ... ... but that's what's going on at the first international conference on the transition away from fossil fuels in Colombia🛢️🇨🇴🌍 Read + listen to our reporting on @npr.org 🎧📻⬇️

Could this conference be a 'turning point' for the world's use of fossil fuels?

Against the backdrop of an energy crisis and a warming planet, more than 50 countries have come to Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss concrete ways to phase out oil, gas and coal.

So uhhhh Reuters quietly shitcanned its climate team right around the same time WaPo did. Except maybe even more cowardly because they kept it under wraps. Not a great look given the abundance of oil money they take in between sponsored content and events. drilled.media/news/drilled...

Climate protest is being criminalized by both MAGA and liberal Democrats. That’s why this moment is so dangerous.

Pete Sikora@petesikora.bsky.social · 4mo ago

In case you think it’s “fun” to get arrested for a cause, let me assure you: It is not “fun”. 19 of us were arrested & upcharged w/ bogus misdemeanor OGA to repress protest. Hochul’s operation is clearly bothered. She shouldn’t push Trump’s energy agenda. 3 hrs of metal cuffs (yes, painful)

Natural gas industry still paying "moderate" Democrats to run around telling everyone that solar and wind are unreliable and can't keep the lights on without gas, as if batteries are not a thing: insideclimatenews.org/news/1104202...

The industry group pays politicians to convince voters that natural gas is the “most affordable and reliable energy source.”
