Are we just going to ignore the damages caused by climate action while Republicans are in power because the GOP and their voters are in favor of global warming?

A reminder that DoorDash donated $1 million to a PAC supporting Cuomo. If you want any chance of regulating these companies you must rank Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander, the only candidates who will take them on. Don't rank Cuomo. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Air Campaigns don’t Win Wars on their Own: Why Israel will largely Fail in Iran

submitted 9 hours ago • 1 comment

I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

It’s important to remember that the media/politics people who constantly tell you oligarchy isn’t the problem are all paid by oligarchs. In other words: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

Paris is transforming its landscape and climate by planting a large number of trees (native species) in the city to lower temperatures and improve rainwater runoff to reduce flooding and improve air quality in the city. This is the way intelligent humans change the cities they live in.

Great chart from the @iea.org: EVs and excellent rail transportation are bringing about the peak and decline of oil product consumption in China. If anything, I think this is too conservative on the electrification of heavy duty vehicles (diesel) where there's a lot of headroom.

The resistance against ICE is having an effect. Dozens of armed agents deployed along with a helicopter, resulting in ... two kidnappings.

By the way, huge shout out to Biden and the Democrats in Congress for massively increasing the budget for ICE and CBP detention operations. Those additional billions are definitely having an effect in our cities.

When urbanists take pictures of a Paris street (like Rue de Rivoli) showing all the people on bikes taking advantage of protected infrastructure, it’s not just because we “like bikes.” It’s because we’re picturing the gridlock if they were driving cars. And the public cost, pollution, noise…

A comparison to show something important: - Post blackout, headlines blamed renewables (directly, suggested or framed as debate) - Post Spanish gov't report showing 9 coal/gas/nuclear plants failed to provide voltage control: framing is about management, planning rather than the generation type

The Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

Wow! Since 2005, Paris has slashed air pollution by 55% - a staggering win for public health and climate. How? Bold green urbanism. The city curbed car traffic, expanded bike lanes and boosted public transport. When people and planet are prioritised, the air gets cleaner and lives get better.
