The US Forest Service is seeking to identify long-distance biking trails that make use of existing trails and roads on federal land. Nominate trails at the following link: experience.arcgis.com/experience/7... Nominations will be accepted through August 3, 2026.

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

I originally started filming Utrecht because of its cycling infrastructure. Looking back over seventeen years of footage, I realised I have documented something much bigger: the transformation of an entire city. Blog, video and playlist:

So easy to break things and close things so very luch jarder to build them back up Yhissyou aboit loval mewspapers, but it stands in for USAID, CDC, etc that Trump has destroyed theeditorial.news/culture/the-...

Despite being a lot smaller than Ireland, the Netherlands has already deployed 15 times more solar PV capacity than us, with plans to quadruple this in the years ahead, as I discovered on a recent visit. My report is in today’s @businesspost.bsky.social www.businesspost.ie/analysis-opi...

UN Secretary General: “The climate and energy crises demand a fast, fair transition to clean energy.”

You can’t claim to “appreciate things” as you sacrifice them.

NEW: “This isn’t cutting edge anymore. It’s just learning from our own successes & failures, and standing on the shoulders of smarter cities. Time to get it done.” My op-ed in today’s @vancouversun.bsky.social makes the case for a people-first Granville Street (& MORE streets) beyond the #WorldCup.

Historic surge of Black women running for office in Georgia. Following the completion of the state’s primary and runoff elections, a record number of Black women have secured nominations for offices across Georgia. 🧵 #SheShed www.caribbeantoday.com/sections/vie...

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

Trump violated our constitution by refusing to seek Congress’s approval for his illegal and reckless war, yet now he wants Congress to pay for it? No way. End this war.

I keep saying: Nordic-style social democracy (capitalism with social programs) is quite different from socialism traditionally defined (abolishing capitalism). I think it’s useful to use clear language that distinguishes between these things.

air conditioning is good and right and a just climate future has zero emissions and also air conditioning and we should build a better world where people don’t die in heat waves

Single stair reform is happening!

Alert to all joy & beauty in the world. Cambridge MA last night

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren

I missed the story about how our necrotic, rapidly decomposing husk of a president rode his fucking limo into the reflecting pool so he could "inspect" it from the back seat.

Teaching people how to swim is part of climate change adaptation: Heatwaves, storms, flash floods, sea level rise…

there's something remarkable how on a scientific level we're performing what would essentially be miracles and on a cultural/political level, we're going in reverse

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

Evergreen:

Such a good read and explanation. Thanks @humantransit.bsky.social

I like this. Rings true.

Imagining a country that invests to make deadly diseases treatable, and makes those treatments available to all.

"Rethinking traffic safety: the case for reducing kinetic energy exposure, not just speed" I feel like this captures something that I experience when I visit Florida Kinetic energy exposure is inescapable, can't leave the neighborhood without a multi-lane 40+ mph stroad, 1+ hour drives are normal

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

The measure disapproving of the Iran War has passed both the House and Senate.

We've known this for years. I'm surprised that @nytimes.com found it to be only 10% of additional deaths. Horrifying graphics.

Recognize any of these universal child care fans? Just like us, they're excited that for the first time, two-year-olds across New York City are getting FREE 2-K.    Apply at myschools.nyc by June 26th.

It's nuts that so many urban residents want to grow their food to "keep toxins out of their bodies" when they're surrounded by freeways/parking lots. The median American has no idea what the word "toxin" means, or which toxins they're even exposed to in the highest quantities. Car tires, people.

“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.” - OCTAVIA BUTLER, born on this day in 1947 in Pasadena, California

Incredible. 123 all-time records broken today in #France 2 sites had peak temps of 44°C/ 111°F

collins has been such a formidable electoral force that i don't want to say "she's cooked," but if maine voters are feeling at all anti-incumbent and anti-gerontocracy then yeah, she's cooked

François Primeau, a UC Irvine professor, developed mathematical and computational ocean models that helped us understand the ocean's role in global climate. He was killed on his bike by someone driving a car. 🌊

People who wonder if "discontinuity" isn't overstating the magnitude of the climate crisis would do well to actually check the weather. 1-in-7000-year heat wave. And that's just one of a flood of historically unprecedented climate events this month, observed in a vast array of places and systems.

Trump on the Nobel Prize: "I've been waiting for one of them too. They don't think 8 wars is enough, even though nobody has ever done one."

Wonder if he considers his children American?

JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance (née Chilukuri), was born in San Diego County, California.

There’s a civil-service contracting officer’s signature on that $14M sole-source contract, and that person should be investigated.

Taxpayers are on the hook for another $765 million to ensure four offshore wind farms are never built. Feds will buy out leases off NY, CA, and the Gulf of Maine, bringing total federal payouts to abandon wind leases to $2.5 billion. Art of the deal, amirite? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/c...

The president who refuses to admit he lost an election refuses to admit he lost a war.😮

$765 million to *not* complete a wind energy project we've already paid for on the front end. This administration pisses away our money to hurt our strategic national interests and prop up their corporate donors.

Scientists warn we are "going blind" on ocean health. Funding cuts & dismantled monitoring networks—including major $368M US sensor system descoping—are shrinking critical data. Gaps threaten global climate modeling, weather forecasting, & marine protection. tinyurl.com/bdf8mdt7 #OceanConservation

Talarico: When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.

Ann Lowe designed one of the most famous dresses in American history. Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress. For years, many people admired her work without ever knowing her name. History remembered the dress. It’s time we remembered the designer. #SheShed

They want people too afraid to speak, too afraid to organize, too afraid to witness. That’s why they go after protesters. Whistles. Chants. Community organizing. None of that is terrorism. Freedom is on the line. The fear is intentional. The silence is the goal. #SheShed
