I loved talking to organizers in Menomonie and across Wisconsin about how they're beating back data center proposals coming from shady development companies left and right. One told me, "Organizing swiftly and fiercely and relentlessly is the key.” ✊

Every summer I’m thinking about this post and whether to send it to utility regulators 🤬

politicians would rather ban children from social media than prosecute a single billionaire funding and operating an on demand csam generator

Kawhi Leonard flew out of Toronto the minute the 2019 Championship parade ended. It’s Lowry and DeRozan who were real ones and loved Toronto. Bring them back. #Raptors #Clippers

The biggest threat to "affordability," today and more so every day to come, is climate change. Responsible political leaders would tell their constituents about it.

The New Yorker nailed this back in, what, 2016

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

Rosa Parks' refusal to stand up and give her seat up to a white passenger on the bus was not some random, one time act taken because she was tired. Her action was part of a preconceived NAACP Bus campaign for equality and Parks was a dedicated activist. "Small" actions matters.

That car better be an EV, Toyota and CBS. Fiji is particularly threatened by climate change, extreme heat and storms, and sea level rise #Survivor50

Exactly: “WHO should change its default response. For pathogens with documented person-to-person spread and severe outcomes, the initial assumption should be airborne risk” #publichealth #hantavirus

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough Thank you for being a friend to all animals and for helping the world to cherish us x

The air pollution from ppl burning gas in stationary vehicles while they’re playing on their phones drives me NUTS. Toronto needs to start enforcing its 1-minute idling bylaw @mayoroliviachow.ca and make the penalty steeper. This matters towards public health and climate goals.

As a proud Canadian I’m not OK with the mac & cheese ketchup-shaming of Joe and his kid. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. #survivor50

"MAHA" in a nutshell

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

This.

Kind of weird that the president is a rapist, and a court reaffirmed it, and everyone knows it, and we're all just going about our days like normal.

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

Pollution levels in Paris after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

Fantastic news, throwing phones away when the battery dies is quite ridiculous. We don't need super thin phones, we need phones we can repair.

The Trump family's approach to the United States is based on the classic corporate raider's approach: 1) Take over a troubled yet very valuable target. 2) Strip out everything of value out of it. 3) Load it with debt. 4) Walk away with the loot before it collapses.

Someone tell the car-brains who want to ruin Toronto’s High Park with cars “because disabled people”.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Best ONN in months at least.

“When we think about e-bike crashes and deaths related to e-bikes, the vast majority are cars and trucks killing people on e-bikes as opposed to people on e-bikes injuring somebody else” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My latest. I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer. One way media can fight back against male violence: If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more. You’re her killer. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

I’m begging men like this to just kill themselves and leave others alone! Jfc

31 consecutive days where domestic wind and solar generation covered 100 percent of national electricity demand with zero fossil fuel input at any hour of any day. Danish grid operator Energinet confirmed it. Credit @joelthedane.bsky.social matr.net/news/denmark... #energysky

Peter Magyar has offered a template which can be used, without too much alteration, in defeating populists worldwide open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

@citynewstoronto.bsky.social we demand real journalism and accountability from elected leaders. This firing implies a troubling drift towards US style regime propaganda shops.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

EVs are winning. They're obviously going to win. The US is punching itself in the dick by clinging to ICE vehicles.

I’m ready to see the “cut from the same cloth” MAGA players leave one after another #Survivor50

If he didn’t want to go to jail he should’ve done his crimes on Epstein Island w Trump > Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann pleads guilty www.bbc.com/news/live/ce...

Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%. Most of the rest if hydro. Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources. More here www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

We should stop talking about impeachment and start talking about imprisonment

What I’d NEVER do as a brain injury rehab doctor: • Motorcycle • Tackle football (for my kids) • Ignore BP • Skip helmets • Normalize repeat COVID infections Because I take care of what happens next.

Coincidentally I just saw the 2010 Simpsons ep where Krusty the Clown is offered a fake Nobel Peace Prize as a ruse to get on a plane and go to the Intl Court of Justice in The Hague. Let’s please do that, except taking him to the Intl Criminal Court across town.

Not only did Bondi essentially stop prosecuting most serious crimes to concentrate on immigrants with no criminal record, Trump pardoned dozens of fraudsters, even exempting from the need to pay back the money they stole. Evidently Trump has a soft spot--or greedy hands--for grifters.

He’s a fucking lunatic‼️ Not presidential behavior at all.☹️
