No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Earlier this week I came across a book with this dedication page (from 1938).

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

Scientists criticize ‘straw man’ arguments in Bill Gates climate memo - "It's not surprising that people from the computing industry think in binary" says Christiana Figueres #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Imagine, if you will, this headline with the word “Jews” substituted for the word “women”: “Did Jews Ruin the Workplace?” Disgusting, right? Well, it’s just as disgusting that this is an acceptable question to debate about women. The misogyny is staggering — and so normal. Still.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Pretty much everyone across the board agrees -- release the Epstein files."

3 paths for a #solar #geoengineering nonuse #norm to institutionalize in #global #politics: (1) civil society-led transnational approaches (2) regionally led state & #civilsociety hybrid approaches (3) like-minded “Schengen-style” clubs led by states. #COP30 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Here's a public transit model a lot more cities need to know about. It's the #Karlsruhe Stadtbahn. It runs tram-trains, in this metro region in #Germany of 310,000. Outside town, they run as standard commuter trains. Inside town, they operate as trams (streetcars)—no need to change mode. 🧵

73% of Copenhageners don’t own a car, and the city has made huge strides reclaiming public space for people that had been previously surrendered to cars. Now candidates in the upcoming city election want to prioritize “car storage” again. Not surprisingly, @colville-andersen.com isn’t holding back.

Sold-out crowd for @thewaroncars.bsky.social in Seattle tonight, with more than one shoutout to New York’s mayor-elect: “This is a man who got people to talk about buses. That is a superhero thing to do.”

It's #EnvConflictDay; we're making progress but the challenges are huge. More people are aware and care than ever before but the rules that are supposed to protect the environment in war are broken daily, and it's people and ecosystems paying the cost.

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Mamdani last night: "if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves." Be brave!

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

The new Virginia congressional map should be 10-1. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Establishment Dems: “We just had a sweeping win proving people want us to fight for them and that we can beat the fascists.” Also Establishment Dems: “Quick, back to capitulating!” What an utterly spineless and embarrassing political party.

As COP30 approaches, policymakers must ensure that the integration of climate and biodiversity action by non-state and subnational actors is anchored in spatial data. #UNFCCC #ClimateAction #CBD @sanderchan.bsky.social @tlustym.bsky.social @conresglobal.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of new wealth, the poorest half has received only 1%. Rich buy political parties, media, means of production, cause corruption, climate crisis, make mockery of democracy. Poor die early. Must redistribute or risk social disorder.

Lies are all they have

After too many companies, politicians, media, and institutions pretty quickly bent the knee to Trump, today a whole bunch of voters didn’t.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

California voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed Proposition 50 in a race called by the Associated Press before a single ballot was counted—a reflection of decisive support in a victory that significantly boosts Democratic chances of retaking the House of Representatives next year.

Blowout. Maybe the GOP should reopen govt now

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Maddow: The very charismatic incumbent mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio. He has defeated JD Vance’s half brother.

It's a great night to be a Democrat!

Pennsylvania voters retain three state Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats' 5-2 majority 👇 www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

NBC projects all three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices will keep their seats. Republicans had hoped to oust them and undercut Dems' majority on the court. Obviously, that didn't work. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

We do NOT need a surrender after the big wins tonight. We should be more emboldened than ever.

Spanberger will be Virginia's first female governor. Her campaign focused on reproductive rights, public safety, and affordability.

Abigail Spanberger will be the first woman to serve as governor of Virginia.

BREAKING: NBC News projects: Ghazala Hashmi (D) wins Virginia Lieutenant Governor. Democrat Gain.

Trump Sure Seems Eager to Starve the Poor www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

While he had a long career in politics, what he may be remembered most for is his view of presidential power. He believed Congress went too far after Watergate in reigning in the presidency. buff.ly/F6DUwjb

Very courageous.

Please. Just. Go. Away. #retire & #resign
