Our failures of pandemic solidarity cost lives. Ukraine is testing our solidarity in another way.

ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and other oil companies are paying negative taxes on huge profits. Sheldon Whitehouse, Ro Khanna, and other Democrats in Congress propose a windfall tax to change that.

This isn’t the first time society has struggled to make sense of the long tail of a pandemic.

At a major annual fossil fuel conference in Houston, the price spike caused by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has buoyed an industry facing an existential crisis.

The lab leak theory is dead. Covid-19’s true origins show why we need better disease surveillance of wild and domesticated animals alike.

Even after the pandemic, we don’t know what Covid holds for us. But we should be prepared.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will be a windfall for the U.S. oil and gas industry, and one corporate giant can barely contain its glee.

It makes sense to be wary of corporate puff pieces. But there are genuine victories to celebrate, often at the local or international level. We need those stories as fuel for the fight.

American oil and gas companies want to use the conflict in Ukraine to keep Europe dependent on fossil fuels for decades to come.

Liberating the pigs from a Smithfield facility was just the first step in Wayne Hsiung and Paul Darwin Picklesimer’s grand plan. Now they want their legal case to start a sea change in animal rights.

The physicians and scientists of the Urgency of Normal are cherry-picking data in their push to end pandemic precautions, but are getting favorable mainstream media attention and support from wealthy, white communities that never felt the full brunt of Covid-19.

Americans have heard conflicting advice from various public health agencies during this pandemic. The solution begins with local reform.
