So please remember women like Manahel al-Otaibi, Nourah bint Saeed al-Qahtani, and Leeds PhD student Salma al-Shehab (sentenced to 34 years) when you see the heads of FIFA and the US goverment palling around with the Crown Prince.

My folks (in their early 70s) ride their e-bikes all the time. They've clocked hundreds of kilometers every year since they got them in 2022... WAY more distance than they did with their bicycles. It keeps them active and social - their friends all go riding together - and fitter than ever.

Totally normal behavior

By me: One in every 25 participants at Cop30 is a fossil fuel lobbyist, outnumbering every country delegation apart from Brazil, and as Indigenous peoples struggle to get a seat at the table www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Plug Power has halted construction of its hydrogen manufacturing facilities in New York State, including in Genesee County. buffalonews.com/news/local/b...

Throughout the Epstein debacle and the shutdown mess; the destruction of the East Wing and the skyrocketing of healthcare costs; the threats of war with Venezuela and the implementation of the Big Ugly Bill ICE has been brutally and needlessly destroying people's lives

(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school

Called it

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Leaked footage from inside an ICE detention facility near Houston. No beds, no bathrooms, hundreds of men, women, and children in one combined cell/room. They are kept in freezing conditions.

Darn I was rooting for The Blues Brothers

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

THIS!! “The Republicans have learned they could hurt our communities, they could hurt everyday people, including their own constituents, and Democrats will fold" - @mauricewfp.bsky.social

8 ancient Democrats, wealthy beyond what most of us can dream, who’ve never feared that they might go without, who’ve never worried about the cost of medical treatment or medication, screwed those who carry those concerns every waking moment, demonstrating the uselessness of the Democratic Party.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

We are led by individuals who are knowingly setting the future on fire so that they will never experience a tiny bit of personal inconvenience.

For the last 33 years, all climate policy, has been about one thing, and that is preserving the lifestyles of the richest people in the world. Not just billionaires, but those on very high salaries who control every organization in the world. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 2/

I feel more like this with every passing year. We need a party that is committed to preserving, protecting & improving life. We don’t need people intent on endlessly negotiating how much humanity we deserve or if we deserve any at all. We don’t need a society built around manufactured scarcity.

Has anyone asked the most powerful couple in NY, Joe and Eileen Bailey, what they think? Do they support their buddy Schumer allowing his caucus to give up his negotiating power for nothing?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Just a reminder that you can always just choose to not watch football

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers. This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

Love this story

This is really important. The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

She gave the Bills $600M in state money for the new stadium

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Compare the damage caused by gen AI to the motivation for the Laken Riley Act. Then compare how our elected officials respond.

Fuck this tech www.bbc.com/news/article...

Fuck this tech

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer. Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality. hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

This isn't me arguing that we can't transition off of fossil fuels. This is me saying we should expect oil and gas companies to be hostile to the necessary transition and treat them accordingly and not like they're "going to see the light" because they aren't.

That is also not my wife.

If Gov Hochul doesn't do this after Dems' disastrous performance in his own county on Tuesday, we might have to conclude that he has some very damning kompromat on her

An awesome thing about being a journalist, and not a politician or advocate, is you can say true things even when they’re unpopular. For example, climate change is real, perpetrated by specific actors, harms many people, and should be resolved as fast and thoroughly as possible.

My amateur analysis of the Democratic sweep in Perinton. The burb has been trending blue, but extreme anger about Trump the national GOP plus very active No Kings mobilization brought out Dem voters. I didn't hear any focus on "pocket book" issues, but a strong case for a more responsive government

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Look, none of you want to live here, I get that. But I promise you Long Island is not a magically worse place—a worse place in kind rather than degree—than like, Bucks County, or the places Spanberger won. This is on the incompetence of the NY Democratic Party and the cowardice of its candidates.

To my eastern suburb neighbors: now is the time to push forward on progressive policies. Fight climate change and increase equity with more investment in alternative transit! Fight segregation, increase affordability, and improve energy efficiency with better zoning policies! 1/3

Global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions rise again in 2024, up 2.3%. This is our collective progress, 10 years after the Paris Agreement. www.unep.org/resources/em... 1/

I just love elderly jack o lanterns

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Honestly thought he must have been much older
