England just had its warmest spring on record. The record was last set in spring 2025. Before that, spring 2024. 9 of the 10 warmest springs have occurred since 2007. It's almost like there's a long-term driver causing this... www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

The same bad actors that have opposed climate action for decades have now sought to weaponize the modest progress toward decarbonization we've made in spite of them. My co-author @doctorvive.bsky.social & I recently weighed in on this in the @thebulletin.org: thebulletin.org/2026/05/sorr...

Traveling to Tallinn Estonia to take part in Nordic Testing Days conference nordictestingdays.eu

Unions, climate orgs, Mark Ruffalo, Jane Fonda & Robert Reich support Tom Steyer. Chevron, Uber, Anthem, Kalshi, PG&E, Meta & Airbnb support Xavier Becerra. But Becerra wants everyone to think those supporting Steyer are being duped & the corps backing him are altruistic. Give me a break.

Weird account being weird

I look forward to seeing @whipkclark.bsky.social follow her own advice. “As my friend and mentor, the late Representative John Lewis, liked to say: “Find a way to get in the way.”” How are you getting in the way, @whipkclark.bsky.social? Can‘t wait to see. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Voted for Steyer today for Governor of California. And it felt great! The list of corporations spending big against him include: Chevron, PG&E, SCE, SoCalGas, Meta, and the oil and gas drillers! With enemies like these, it shows he's willing to stand for the people. That's Steyer.

I was on the fence about Steyer (never for Becerra, just the billionaire thing) but today’s CARB‘s horrible Big Oil give away pushed me over the edge. Steyer may be a billionaire but at least he fucking cares about climate and we need someone who will reverse shit like this (Gov appoints CARB board)

Ugh. Big backtracking in NY as well. There's never been a better time to move away from fossil fuels in the name of affordability, though arguably not as much in North America as in Europe or Asia www.canarymedia.com/articles/emi...

I went to the "Transparency in Mass State legislature" debate between my state rep Marjorie Decker and the challenger @evanforcambridge.bsky.social It was a disaster for rep Decker: - she had nothing to say to defend her votes to keep votes secret, cut taxes on the super rich, ignore will of voters

This is the end of American science and innovation. Russell Vought is the angel of death who is presiding over this abomination of a OMB regulation.

I had to check since this was “ai is stupid” example from ago. And yes, google ai cannot count “p” in the word “pharma”!! Imagine being $100b co and throwing away your premier product (search) and replacing it with this nonsense. Any normal co would fire all C execs. Glad I was using Ecosia search.

Somerville, Cambridge incubators receive climate tech grants Greentown Labs and The Engine will gain better infrastructure thanks to a state agency. It should help keep entrepreneurs in Massachusetts.

bezos is either a fool or more likely thinks everyone else is.

That interview is available here for all to listen. This is a gift link. Would greatly appreciate your help in getting it to a wider audience. Perhaps it will get more coverage! 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Rest Is Politics podcast gets a question: "Have you seen the car crash interview that Richard Tice did with Bloomberg, where he refused to engage with simple factual questions about the science of climate change and its economic realities? Curiously this is getting virtually zero coverage."

if trump were a russian asset / idiot bent on breaking american economy and dominance, would he be doing ANYTHING differently?

Gas prices keep climbing—but your commute costs don’t have to. 🚲⚡ What if switching from a car to an e-bike could save you $8,000+ per year? From fuel and parking to insurance and maintenance, the savings add up fast. Plus, with every ride turning daily travel into something more affordable, enjoy

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

The NY Times apparently thinks fairness in journalism means having no values at all. Trump assaults one of the key factors in America's rise to global leadership — immigration — and the best the Times can do is call it a “risky pivot.”

Britain has created a new breed of political prisoners through the systematic incarceration of people acting to prevent climate breakdown and the annihilation of Gaza, new research has found. www.theguardian.com/law/2026/may...

"With gas prices over $4.50 per gallon, the Trump administration’s decision to axe tailpipe standards that can help cars use less gas will further drive up costs for our families, while also making us sicker." @matthewhdavis.bsky.social

elon musk had his brain melted by right wing twitter slop and illegally shut it down. six figure body count plus a new strain of ebola is ravaging africa as we speak. the discourse is about whether they hired enough conservatives to justify not torpedoing the agency. illegally, i might add

If trump was a russian asset trying to break USA and cause chaos would he do anything differently?

RW propaganda is so relentless, so ubiquitous, that it causes Democrats to believe things about their own party that defy their personal experience; it causes academics to believe things about their own institution that defy their personal experience. Propaganda can *eclipse* personal experience.

BREAKING: VA Gov Abigail Spanberger just vetoed a bill that would ban ICE from making warrantless arrests inside of courthouses. VA Dems have the House, the Senate, and the Governorship. They have all the power and still under a Corporate Centrist Democrat, align with fascist ideology.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Today in “The Kids Are Alright”: The middle schoolers of Darby Vassal Uoper School here in Cambridge have a petition in support of transit lanes on Mass Ave. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A typical electric car costs about $6,000 more than a comparable gasoline car. With a $6,000 higher up-front cost, $27,000 lower fuel cost, and $14,000 lower maintenance cost, at today's prices a typical electric car costs about $35,000 less than a typical gasoline car over the vehicle's lifetime.

I wish I was in this district so I could vote for @evanforcambridge.bsky.social

WHAT: “In 2025, [State Rep Marjorie] Decker got contributions from more lobbyists (~130) than she did Cambridge residents (~100).”

America made a mistake electing the dumbest president in American history who has handed control to an administration of ignorant sociopaths.

Moving forward, PELASE remember that downplaying the danger of climate change only helps the climate deniers. That’s why they’ve all jumped on this. Please undo the damage done! Please trumpet that 3C by 2100 is catastrophic (and just a step to more heating w/out fossil phaseout and net zero).

The independent pan-European commission on climate and health, which was convened by the WHO, concluded the climate crisis was such a worldwide threat to health that the WHO should declare it “a public health emergency of international concern” (Pheic).

LANDMAN is ripe for this because it routinely has Billy Bob Thornton go off on wholly-untrue pro-oil rants. His most famous one is about wind turbines not offsetting any carbon over their 20-year life cycle. In reality, they're fully offset within an average of 5.3 months.

Then there is what happened just last night on California's grid with the arrival of the extra SunZia wind power. Those natural gas plants that wait poised to surge at sunset ... just weren't needed. 1.5 GW of gas during the day to be ready went to 1 GW at sunset with 9 GW of batteries. Amazing.

“In a monologue, Mr. Colbert called the settlement a ‘big fat bribe.’ He got word he’d been canceled just days later. A week or so after that, the deal was approved. However CBS attempts to characterize the Colbert decision from now on, that’s what people will remember.” CBS cancels itself.
