Mike Minogue's support for Donald Trump is buried way too deep in this article. Just a few months ago he told WCVB that he still suppprts Trump. Which should be absolutely disqualifying for anyone hoping to be Governor of Massachusetts.

If the world had followed ambitious climate scenarios, global oil demand would be at least 20% lower than it is today - about the same volume of oil that flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that the Trump/GOP economy is historically BAD!!! Time & time again, Republicans TRASH the American economy, with Democrats having to clean up Republicans’ mess! Dems create jobs across the USA economy, are focused on the affordability crisis to lower prices, & healthcare!

The Massachusetts GOP continues to go hard MAGA and they wonder why their party is broke and falling apart. Also, Mike Mingoue is a piece of shit who hosted a fundraiser with JD Vance and remains a staunch Trump supporter.

Interesting. An international conference specifically about transitioning away from fossil fuels. This is a way for countries that get it to cooperate outside the sclerotic UNFCCC framework. Worth watching.

TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, CBS, and CNN all have Trump-aligned owners. Here’s why US media has a liberal bias problem.

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

It's gotten lost amidst everything else, but a sitting Vice President traveling overseas to speak at a campaign rally for a flailing authoritarian leader is such a massive violation of both norms and democratic values

If Donald Trump was working for Vladimir Putin, what would he be doing differently?

Boston Globe casually embraces Citizens United and the rise of C4 influence, with no disclosures regarding BPI’s backers or founders. Globe Editorial Desk: “Okay, so long as the opinion sounds good and stuff.” 1) Everyone knew the shoe would drop on commercial property valuations. 2) Do better.

Here’s our memo, which includes links to the Columbia Sabin center tracker showing how Hochul hasn’t implemented the climate law. THAT’S the story: she refused to implement the plan her own appointees created. As a result (shocker!), not much got done. Years wasted docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It can't be said often enough, so I'll say it again: Solar and batteries can power the world! It's cheaper than gas (esp. at today's prices) and a lot more reliable. By 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the world's population for < €80/MWh (including backup).

Brown people are being put in concentration camps. Activists are getting charged for acting on their first amendment rights. The FBI has named any form of left wing ideology terrorism. But abusers now face fewer sanctions than a brief moment it seemed they might. For Andreessen, this is freedom.

a massive global overview of policies enacted in response to the latest fossil fuel crisis. Terrifying how many of these will help lock in fossil fuel reliance, worsen climate pollution, suck money from governments and subsidise rich people's overconsumption www.iea.org/data-and-sta...

What a rotten headline. The reason is not at all complex. As the article says: “Because of the way Europe sets wholesale electricity prices, even a small amount of fossil fuel in a country’s energy mix can [anchor] prices higher…canceling out potential savings from renewables”

When is the next eric adams episode @michaelhobbes.bsky.social

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

In March, renewables produced more than a third of US electricity for the first time ever, even overtaking gas generation! Wind and solar combined reached over a quarter (26%) for the first time.

Pete Hegseth has fired 9 generals in the last 15 months after America had only fired 11 total in the prior *160 years*, so miss me with these supposed DoD leaks claiming the USAF is "rejecting" war-crime targets proposed by Hegseth Anyone saying no to him will be fired in short order

Important 🧵 Science is a natural political target of all authoritarians. Telling scientists to be quietly apolitical is asking them to passively accept science’s demolition (now happening at pace in the US, with great losses everywhere else). This doesn’t earn trust. It displays indifference.

Speaking of biased media coverage… just gonna drop this one here.

Prosecuting and purging the Republican Party was Biden’s one job. When he failed to do his duty it was just a waiting game to this moment.

"Climate inaction isn’t just an environmental failure, it’s a sizable part of America’s affordability problem." Illuminating op-ed from @knittelmit.bsky.social et al on @wbur.org @cogwbur.bsky.social www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

anyone attending the white house correspondents dinner is a fucking traitor

To every Dem Senator and Representative it’s time for you to drop your fucking collegiality with the GOP members. They are enemies to The Constitution and the American people. They are not good or just. You need to accept this as fact. They are enabling the destruction of our country.

As other states and nations rocket forward on renewables, NY’s @governor.ny.gov Hochul pushes hard to gut the climate law. If she succeeds she will keep NYers locked to oil & gas as Trump wages war on Iran, triggering a fossil energy crisis. It’s insane. NY legislators: don’t let her!

I hope someday sooner rather than later we can collectively decide the New York Times is no longer fit to be the American paper of record.

Speaking of energy prices… “In all 50 states, the cost of home-charging an EV is considerably cheaper than fueling a car with gasoline” — @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/04/what...

A+ headline.

You cannot trust or accept corporate U.S. media to accurately report on the events. I trust uk guardian on their reporting

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

And it's not "just" buy an EV or solar. It's having a national commitment to energy policy that makes rhem part of a comprehensive approach to eliminating fossil fuels for everyone. Tax credits, housing policy, mass transit expansion, new industrial investment... Other countries have figured it out.

We bought an EV years ago and have so far saved over $7000 in avoided gas costs. And our electricity is now free because our solar panels have completely paid for themselves in saved electricity costs. My interest in the price of fossil fuels is purely political.

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

voters elected decadent money man to make them rich, what they've gotten is warmongering fanatic who wants to cut their health care to pay for more bombs

South Korea's President: “South Korea must swiftly transition to renewable energy.” “Relying on fossil energy is extremely dangerous for the future. We do not produce these resources ourselves, and chasing imports has led to the current crisis.” www.chosun.com/english/nati... #energysky

Great Ember Report! Electrotech (solar, EV, battery & more) leapfrogs fossil fuels in emerging countries. Why? An example: A decade ago, solar required 5 times more upfront capital investment than a coal plant. Now, solar is less! Solar has free fuel! ember-energy.org/latest-insig... #energysky

69/ This is the first oil crisis in which alternatives to oil and gas — solar panels, EVs, batteries, induction stoves heatpumps — are cheap and easy to get. These flying off the shelves already... This has reporting from 10 countries @akshatrathi.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

If you have a furnace or boiler that burns propane, fuel oil, or kerosene, now is a great time to switch to an electric heat pump. You'll save a lot of 💰 on heating at today's fuel prices, which are up 30+% in the last month with no sign of dropping. Most heat pumps also provide air conditioning ❄️

This too was part of Project 2025. They said they were going to do this before the election. Mainstream media credulously chose to ignore or minimize that plan because Trump denied it. It was the blueprint and they’ve been following it diligently.
