Our dear friend Ady Barkan died today. It’ll take a while to process the loss. His condition had stabilized & we thought too hopefully he’d be with us a bit longer. ALS is relentlessly cruel. But Ady found more courage & organized more relentlessly than anyone I’ve ever known. 1/

Ady gave everything he had fighting for others and Medicare for All.

He was a gift to this country and to all who knew him. This is a heartbreaking loss.

Sending love and strength to Ady’s family, his wife Rachael, and his children. We won’t stop until Ady’s vision is realized.

“These talks show that fossil fuel phase out is for the first time at the top of the agenda at COP28. If countries are serious about limiting warming to 1.5°C, they must come to an agreement on ending fossil fuel expansion and building a just phase out...' priceofoil.org/2023/11/01/fos…

Pre-COP28 talks just concluded and it's clear that negotiations on the phase out fossil fuels will take center stage in Dubai.

First coal. Now oil and gas.

'According to Inevitable Policy Response, a forecasting group whose data was used in the Fitch analysis, peak oil may come in 2025, after which demand will sink more than 60% over the next two-and-a-half decades.'

The first recorded flood along the Pajaro was in what was then known as Brooklyn, established in 1888 when the Chinese community of Watsonville agreed to move across the river and county line, reestablishing themselves on the site of what is the community of Pajaro today.

And oblast. 38 aerial bombs JUST YESTERDAY. 20-50 aerial bombs, every day. (As I am typing this, explosion outside. They never stop.)

And Seversk. And so many villages I have seen in Ukraine.

TODAY: President Biden' Department of Energy cannot pretend to be on the side of environmental justice while they are actively licensing more fossil fuel gas exports, which means more fracking, more air and water pollution, more pipelines, more export terminals, more sacrifice zones.…

When it comes to climate solutions, some say that we need all of the above.

“The point of ‘all of the above’ isn't muscular, immediate action – rather, it's a delaying tactic that creates space for ‘solutions’ that won't work, but will generate profits.”
