NEW VIDEO: Here is my breakdown of the major voting rights lawsuits to keep an eye on in court this week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nJx...

Good morning with good news: Chile keeps pushing to 100% renewables. It begins construction on 3 solar projects & 1 wind farm, totaling 420 MW, plus 360 MW of storage to firm the new solar & wind. Chile was 69.90% RE in 2024, with W&S at 34%! www.pv-magazine-latam.com/2025/05/27/a... #energysky

The western Canadian province of Saskatchewan declared a wildfire emergency on Thursday, becoming the second to do so after neighboring Manitoba had ordered 17,000 people to quickly flee their homes in remote communities a day earlier.

'Israel Katz... addressed French President Emmanuel Macron directly: This serves as "a clear message to Macron and his friends. They will recognize a Palestinian state on paper — and we will build the Jewish-Israeli state on the ground."...'

Smokey times ahead! Dense wildfire smoke is forecast to be along the East Coast by Tuesday. Source: weather.gc.ca/firework/fir...

Breaking News! Code Yikes! May is over and my prediction for Manua Loa CO2 for the month is 430.51 (±0.01) ppm. This is also the peak for 2025 and likely the first month over 430 ppm in over 3 million years. In 2024, the peak was 426.90 ppm, so the peak-to-peak yearly gain was 3.61 ppm. Data:

With data for just two more days still to be reported, the daily average COâ‚‚ concentration at the Mauna Loa Observatory has only dipped below 430 ppm on 3 days this month. Therefore, there can now be no doubt that May 2025 will be the first time the monthly average will have exceeded 430 ppm.

Trump Bites The Hand That Feeds Him Judges youtu.be/V_f6jlHAakM?...

This is a national security emergency.

“We were going to use technology to…overturn the monetary system,” Peter Thiel said in 2010, explaining the reasoning behind starting PayPal. He added that “we cld never win an election…bc we were …a small minority. But maybe you could…unilaterally change the world… thru a technological means.” 1/

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.

This is a 100% absolute must watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmlb...

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. ⚖️🗳️ When we fight, we win.💪

Ed Martin, Trump's "weaponization czar" and our Russia problem. "Not surprisingly, Martin says that his key assignment as weaponization czar will be to punish those who investigated Trump's very real connections to Russia." snyder.substack.com/p/the-weapon...

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

The impotence of the UN and other intl. bodies in enforcing intl. human rights law as Russia is burying children under rubble makes it absurd that we should be so respectful of Russia's rights according to intl. finance law. Why do we protect money more than people?

“Tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them. We will not submit. We will emerge from this stronger than we were before, and more committed to the common good. Be safe. Be strong. Hug your loved ones.”

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.

Like I said a few times before, it was NEVER about campus protests or anti-semitism. It was always about seizing control of higher education through govt blackmail and coercion.

Trump: I believe Russia wants peace Russia:

This is Ukraine tonight as the world watches terrorist Russia continue to carry out war crimes and genocide

On the end of The End of History and the End of the Affair--dark topics but a very gratifying audience at @torontomet.bsky.social and a thought-provoking interlocutor at CBC's Ideas with Naylah Ayed.

Thank you 🥰 It's really a pleasure to talk to @nahlahayed.bsky.social

The hidden provision in the Big Ugly Bill that makes Trump king https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-hidden-provision-in-the-big-ugly

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Jason’s exactly right. Two months ago I was one of the very few sounding the alarm about this. Back then almost all the other smart lawyers here were assuring everyone that everything was fine, the judges were just being thorough. I was right, unfortunately.

The Jake Tapper “Biden was old” fiasco should remind you why we need independent media that knows what the important stories are amid this cruel national crisis. I will not be distracted or stop saying what I think. I hope you’ll join us and subscribe (free or paid). www.americaamerica.news
