"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

I stand with Bruce Springsteen, not a treasonous deranged convicted felon.

The ducks escaped today and I came home to catch them red-handed in the path by the front garden, foraging for slugs. There is a fence but it’s not even in the first picture! Lucky no dogs got them but they have become real Houdinis and expert egg hiders.

Its enough. It is not anti-Semitic to point out that a genocide is being committed in Gaza. We cannot allow this to continue, it shames us all.

Every single day, without fail, when I think that America has gone as low as it possibly can go , it proves me horribly wrong.

Why are solar panels and batteries from China so cheap? High levels of automation, cheap energy, and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. It's less about low salaries than many people think. My latest Substack: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/china-chea...

A little leaf offering relief - not sure if it rained in the night!

Smog Breathing Exercise from oilwell.app The app that helps you embrace climate breakdown

I gave up my car for financial reasons and still eventually discovered that doing so had improved my well-being. (Now I have a variety of other things to be depressed about, most of which are completely beyond my control.)

Abundance this morning- 2 ducks, 4 eggs!

Winner winner chicken dinner! Chicken of the woods growing on willow in the banks of the Rhine- harvested a bag full as it tastes just like chicken!

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

The #AFD are now a recognised #extremist party. The two leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chupapollas are upset, but frankly I dont see how they thought they would be identified as anything other than extremist. It is OK to call a nazi a nazi.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Let’s fucking go???

Six "key truths" about climate change: -It's real -It's us -Experts agree -It's bad -Others care -There's hope People who understand these truths are more likely to become part of the solution. Spread the word. link.springer.com/article/10.1... @mason4c.bsky.social @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

I've just been thinking about these - Bristol has funded changing non-junction lights to green immediately for pedestrians rather than making them wait for cars 1/4 of a mile away (which is what most towns and cities do). Well done to my Bristol Green colleagues like @cllremmaedwards.bsky.social

Are you involved in community energy? Know someone who is? We want to hear from you! We are looking for people to come co-create comics about community energy on Fri 9 May (London) & Sat 10 May (Manchester). We will cover travel expenses if you need to come from further afield! #communityenergy

Thanks to the country's EV boom, China's consumption of gasoline peaked in 2019 and will drop by 3% to 5% a year through 2030, analysts say. That's a fast decline. theprogressplaybook.com/2024/11/28/c...

Nailed it!

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

"The likelihood is that if you’re busy in the fields, the panels are also busy saving you money – and you don’t have to feed, bed or milk them every day!" m.independent.ie/farming/comm...

A century ago, a stream of brilliant scientists fled to the US to escape persecution by authoritarian European regimes. The EU is now opening its doors to American scientists whose safety and intellectual freedom are under attack by the Trump regime. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

"Meta faces a $2.4bn (£1.8bn) lawsuit accusing the Facebook owner of inflaming violence in Ethiopia after the Kenyan high court said a legal case against the US tech group could go ahead." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Got home and my eldest had their telescope out- snapped a cool picture of the moon!

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

UK car owners reluctant to shift to EVs because of misunderstanding about the cost of charging www.renewableenergymagazine.com/electric_hyb...

Other countries could follow suit and bad convicted criminals and felons from public office! It might make for a better world!

About time this was done- as a former school governor in Wiltshire I tried to make this happen a decade ago and our school admin simply refused - at the time they could have benefitted from the highest FIT too!

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

It’s sad to see how quickly democracy can die

Yep
