Just listened to this absolutely smashing @volts.wtf episode🤩 What gives me the most hope for the #energy transition is that avg income folks in developing world both can afford & choose #solar over #fossilfuels, without any government edu or subsidies🎉 open.spotify.com/episode/7gH0...

This woman speaks my language! 🔥🔥

"What’s happening to the US government right now is bad. What comes next is worse." www.wired.com/story/doge-w...

Great job explaining why the economy could contract

The leading cause of death for pregnant women in the US is homicide. (This jaw-dropping fact is frequently cited by @lyz.bsky.social, from whence I got it.)

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

This is a really good video about @mark-carney.bsky.social - and how he will make Canada better. Join us 💪🇨🇦 markcarney.ca

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

With Trump saying the tariffs on Canada and Mexico will happen, this is a great tutorial on our energy use ans what we buy and sell Follow @mrglobaltoo.bsky.social. He cuts through the misinformation and spits out the facts

The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich. Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

THE KENDRICK SUPER BOWL CURRICULUM!! 🔥 by Linda J.M. Holloway, Ed.D., NCC & April T. Berry, Ph.D. Legit great stuff here, teachers / professors:

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class

Today @citizenlab.ca publishes a new, short commentary piece co-authored by @kate-ro.bsky.social and myself, highlighting grave constitutional and human rights issues that would arise with a Canada-USA CLOUD Act agreement, which the two governments have been negotiating since 2022. 🧵

Breaking News: Scientists from the University of the Basque Country have discovered a groundbreaking molecule, WIN55.212-2, that reverses early cognitive damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

Did someone replace the headline writer at @nytimes.com with a person who understands current events?

Great advice on helping someone who is grieving.

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Although the majority of people around the world are worried about climate change, most still feel it is a future issue or one that only affects the natural environment. They couldn’t be more wrong: climate change is already affecting what’s on our kitchen counter!

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

“A desire to force U.S. military leaders to be obedient to him and not the Constitution is one of the constant themes of Trump’s military-related discourse.”

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Yeah bro…Boooooooooo.

You know this is 100% going to happen…

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Exactly right

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

It’s @SandraSchmirler Telethon Day And I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since her death. While we lost Sandra in March 2000, her legacy lives on through the babies that have been saved in her name through the Sandra Schmirler Foundation. ☎️ 1-866-210-6011

This is probably the most accurate take.
