This nation still has great politicians — and young great politicians. Watch @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Can't get over how part of the DoD statement about eliminating climate change stuff says that "the time for preparation is over." What????

Love this stuff! Especially after my heart surgery. Has a LOT of the stuff my healthy heart needs so I can keep mountain biking. drinkc2o.com/a/refer-a-fr...

Canada has its problems, but this month it sure is a relief to have a government that spends its time on projects like this rather than renaming bodies of water or firing the people who watch the nukes or whatever

Environmental groups sue to stop Trump from opening vast new areas to offshore oil and gas drilling. The suit is an opening shot in what is likely to be a series of cases aimed at thwarting Trump's expansive fossil fuel agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/c...

Senate Bill 6 on large loads was filed yesterday; Dallas Fed celebrates new solar and storage on the grid; major comment deadlines on transmission and DERs tomorrow. All that in the latest Grid Roundup: www.douglewin.com/p/large-loa...

Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin! I got to read his hard copy letters doing this story for National Geographic. Best reporting week ever👇 “Darwin called the island ‘burnt’ and ‘completely destitute of trees.’ To be fair, there was one solitary tree.” 🌴 www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

“2024 was an exceptionally calm year for shark bites. Worldwide, there were only 47 unprovoked attacks, down 22 from 2023 & well below the 10-year average of 70.” ...good news but I’ll be waiting for the other shoe to drop. They must be up to something www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/unpr...

Are Generative AI platforms guilty of greenwashing? This report says yes: “it is essential that they are designed and safeguarded in ways that prevent their capture by fossil fuel companies’ own misleading narratives.” @Global_Witness www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns...

Not looking good for freedom and liberty. Trump Banned AP from the Oval Office Over the "Gulf of Mexico." That's a Bigger Deal Than You Think. www.readtpa.com/p/trump-bann...

It's amazing to think people ACTUALLY think money is more important than our planet Earth. Belligerent capitalism just doesn't make sense to me. You already know Elon Musk. You need to know Harold Hamm. heated.world/p/you-alread...

Must read on how, exactly, the Republicans are weaponizing the state, and what you need to do to oppose them, by Steven Levitsky, author of "How Democracies Die," and @lucanway.bsky.social. Could not recommend more. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Are we sure Trump isn't the Antichrist?

Very frustrating

Great interview with Pankaj Mishra and @ravireports.bsky.social How will the world look back at Israel’s response to the Oct. 7, 2023 attack? foreignpolicy.com/live/pankaj-...

This would fucking suck! Well, Claude, Gemini,...what would be the GenAI version of bsky? Elon Musk Leads Bid to Buy OpenAI for $97.4 Billion www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/t...

Israel Just Killed a Pregnant Palestinian Woman – And Western Media Doesn’t Care zeteo.com/p/pregnant-p...

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan blasted the court ruling for the Treasury Department case while arguing that the president should be able to implement his agenda as he sees fit. "implement his agenda as he sees fit"? The HELL he should! He's NOT a king!

Nazimobile sales are declining ...

Dana Bash: “I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data.” Noem: “Well, we can't trust the government anymore.” Bash: “You are the government.” We can do better.

Christian Nationalists need to ask themselves if Jesus was conservative or progressive. I would argue (and win) that he was more progressive. The conservative bunch was the Pharisees that Jesus had "issues" with. We can do better.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Great point.

Glad to see this guys here!

True...priorities We can do better.

Just add “Fox News is my Bible” and the set is complete.

Sen. Markey said in a Friday press conference that $316M in climate funds slated to come to Massachusetts via EPA are still frozen. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/07/s... #energysky #greensky #newengland #fundingfreeze

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.
