Good morning with good news: Global EV sales will jump 25% in 2025, compared to 2024. EVs will reach a 25% global market share in 2025, with sales at 22 million. That's up ~6X since 2020 sales of 3.4 million. EVs will be 50% of China's auto fleet by 2033! #energysky about.bnef.com/insights/cle...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

In a decisive legal setback for Donald Trump, the full bench of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has DENIED the president’s appeal challenging the civil verdict in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll.

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.

one Catholic tradition I would like to bring back in America is priests getting arrested in political protests I want to see some Father Daniel Berrigan energy out in these streets

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

"Ahead of the November election, LAUSD staff were trained in how to protect students from Federal agents showing up in schools" is a line that will be in history books

Citizens protesting the ICE raids in Los Angeles are DANCING Yet Donald Trump labeled them “insurrectionists” and is sending 700 Marines-on top of the 2,000 National Guard troops-to the city This is dangerous, almost certainly illegal and by all accounts completely unnecessary Trump is a fascist

Maybe that National Guard and Marine Corps can protect the people from the LAPD.

Greta Gerwig on sweating the details in the script, including things the audience will never see. youtu.be/sR9La54T5eQ?...

A few words about “peaceful protests.” 1. At least 5% of people are uncontrollable assholes and will behave badly in any situation, let alone a high-tension one. So a large protest without ANYONE throwing shit, yelling slurs or for violence, etc. is likely not achievable. /1

I just drove by a big LAPD staging area with lots of SUVs on the 110 north on ramp from grand. Be aware.

Josh Barro: "When I look at policies in New York that stand in the way of Abundance, very often if you look under the hood, you eventually find a labor union at the end that's the driver"

Remembering Jean-Pierre Manchette, neo-noir master, on the 30th anniversary of his death. Among his extraordinary novels: The Prone Gunman; Fatale; No Room at the Morgue (for which I wrote an afterword); 3 to Kill (which I adapted for Amazon); Nada; The Mad and the Bad. @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

Harvard is offering a FREE online course on the US Government & Constitution. Resistance isn't always loud. Knowledge is Power. Spread the word. #MomSky pll.harvard.edu/course/ameri...

Harvard is offering 558 free classes, including but not limited to "We the People: Civic Engagement in a Constitutional Democracy", "American Government: Constitutional Foundations", and "U.S. Political Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Courts, and Bureaucracy." Thank you Harvard!! 👏👏👏

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

For my LA gang here, but if anyone knows of an apartment for rent that isn't astronomical or could be a decent roommate situation, DM me? I have a good friend whose apt building was sold & landlords are evicting everyone ASAP. 2025 keeps 2025'ing.

"New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court" The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, reports @premthakker.bsky.social

BREAKING: A massive explosion from a bomb has destroyed American Reproductive Centers, an IVF and fertility center in Palm Springs, CA. At least one person is dead. Authorities are investigating whether terrorism played a role.

Only Alito and Thomas voted to let Trump deport migrants using a law from 1798. With 24 hours notice and no real chance to fight it. No hearings. No due process. This isn’t judicial restraint. It’s judicial sadism. They don’t defend the Constitution they defile it.
