I asked a Norwegian fan at the World Cup match how so many of their fans can afford to spend the summer in America going to a bunch of expensive World Cup games, and I shit you not he just goes “Our healthcare and school are free and our work is encouraging us to do so.” Fuck man.

Simply amazing that there are deadly heat waves all over the world and climate scientists predict that future summers will get progressively hotter, killing vast untold numbers of people, but there are still people who believe that trans people are the biggest contemporary threat to humanity

The Coast Guard just removed the Clearwater from the tall ship parade in NYC for having "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions” banners. They were escorted out by the Coast Guard, US Navy, and NYPD. www.instagram.com/p/DaYOP8OlIq...

Seven years ago a representative from Google reached out to me in an official capacity to discuss the company's energy use. I told them it would become necessary for major firms in core economies to reduce energy use in order to enable Paris-compliant decarbonisation.

We need to stop dedicating a disproportionate amount of public space on city streets to cars. I rarely see drivers driving on many streets, but the tax payer subsidized “free” car parking & dangerous car driving greatly hampers traffic flow & safety. Most people drive on the highway anyway.

My family uses the bikeway it to get to work, get the kids to school, take the dogs to the vet, go to the grocery store, grab supplies from the hardware store, grab ice cream, head to the farmers market, dine out, etc. It’s an integral part of our daily transportation.

My husband is at a lake near Valley, and tells me there are still a lot of people on the water. Y'all. I cannot tell you how dangerous that is. Please please please, get off open water if you can hear thunder.

Absolutely the way we should ALL do it.

High overnight temperatures are a key fingerprint of human activity on the climate. The planet is warming faster when you are asleep, in part because unlike the sun, greenhouse gases warm the planet 24 hrs a day. Here is the daytime high vs. overnight low temperature trends for Canada since 1948.

I live in Minnesota so yes of course.

Yes

Hello from the country of Minnesota

Everything is so dumb.

Ilana Cohen is right to call us out here — and it shouldn’t take a brutal 100+ degree heat wave (which will take the lives of too many New Yorkers) to call our attention to it. There’s so much tumult in our politics. But we must not retreat from climate action. (1/2)

👀 🔥 “they estimated that the average light-duty motor vehicle produced 6.31 million joules of heat per mile – about the equivalent of leaving a 1500-watt space heater on for 70 minutes.”

The inherent sadness of this comment is a good demonstration for why we need to rethink the physical layout of our communities and overall mobility. Paging @thewaroncars.bsky.social.

The School Run™ Still my main political motivator. A disgrace. An embarrassment. Both hilarious and tragic in equal measure. Fix this, fix a lot of things.

this whole thread

"very convenient to eat in your car while you're having a phone call. It's an amazing country" this is freakin incredible and very well my last post here.

What kind of sad life must you be living if the first thing that comes to mind about cool things in the US is... *checks notes*... eating in your car at a gas station or fast food chain.

The amount of ICE activity around the Seattle metro area (Renton, White Center, Burien, Lynnwood, Everett) is ramping up at an alarming rate. Now is the time to be brave. Take a rapid response training class through WAISN or States at the Core. Talk w/ your neighbors about what they’re doing.

These are the traditional values that the right talks about. Gluttony, greed, laziness and really ugly infrastructure.

37% of new heavy trucks sold in China: now fully electric. Not delivery vans — 49-tonne heavy-duty rigs. This one swapped ~550 kWh in just 5 mins. Competitive, proven & inevitable. China's heavy EV truck sales surged 182% YoY in 2025, rising from single digits just two years ago.

Klein is correct here.

AWESOME! @mcbl.bike getting a shout out on @mprnews.org / @angeladavismpr.bsky.social discussion!

I comment on one (1) video about a driver pissed he had to slow down to 42mph to safely pass a group of cyclists and now my TikTok feed is nothing but drivers crying about bikes. And just like that, I am unironically 100% in favor of banning all cars.

"The pedestrian/cyclist just came out of nowhere!" Babe, if you were doing 30mph, 30 seconds ago you were a quarter of a mile away - if anyone came out of nowhere, it's you.

Ocean surface temperatures hit a record high for June

Virtually everyone who cycles on the road has stories about drivers nearly killing them out of carelessness or incompetence and then reacting to being appraised of having nearly killed them by threatening or trying to kill them.

There's an effort underway to identify and remove excess sources of air pollution in Frogtown. This map caught my eye. I-94 is killing people. @mndot.mn.gov can stop killing people if it chooses.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

How often, when driving a car, do you run across a friend, and then slow down and chat for a bit? It happens kind of a lot when you use bikes for transportation.

Human scale transportation.

100% fucked up.

Urban trees aren’t just nice, scientists say — they’re mandatory

But the argument should have never been “born this way” and “we’re just like you!” Queerness, whether palatable to cishets or not, is every bit as natural, valuable, and healthy as cis heterosexuality, and queer people deserve the same rights everyone else has. Tolerance is bs. Rights or gtfo. 4/4

Can Congressionally established agencies be moved from the executive branch to the legislative branch? Or are they by definition executive?

There are less than fifty trans girls playing youth sports in the country. Be mad that girls get the shit end of the stick for facilities, equipment, uniforms, coaches, and funding rather than your KID wasn’t as good as another KID. It happens, stop being psychos over youth sports.

I imagine all the potential issues have been identified and addressed, but can't help wonder what happens if the Seine starts running warmer / too warm? Or (not sure this could even happen?) flow rate decreases significantly?

Trump's father was born in New York to a non-citizen mother who arrived six months pregnant

In conclusion, please read my book and support your local independent bookstore and/or library!

(and get a heat pump)

Good morning, @angeladavismpr.bsky.social / @mprnews.org! For #CheapWeek discussion on making every grocery trip count / reducing food waste, one great thing people can easily do is NOT buy for the week, just buy for 2-3 days at a time.

Motorists are a leading cause of child deaths in North America and we need to start saying it plainly and out loud.

"It's over, right?" a journo asked me this morning about the birthright citizenship case. No. No legal or political result is final unless the losing side gives up fighting. They will try again. New prez, new judges. There's a social movement based on racial grievance + scapegoating immigrants.
