You know how if you’re hit by a truck, the impact is 10 times harder than from a car going the same speed? Well, EV trucks are about to upend the freight industry, and the impact will be 10 times bigger than from EV cars. The scale of what is coming is HUGE: 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Bloomberg editorial board telling us to learn to love data centers. Not one mention of the climate or air pollution impacts. Apparently there are no concerns about what happens to the climate in "the Future" @ketanjoshi.co

Today I got mentioned in another Congressional hearing because: -Bill Huizenga thinks he’s clever (no) -Republicans like to lie about Biden era censorship to distract from the real censorship Trump is doing (see TrumpCensorship.com)

You say you want a (clean energy) revolution? Well, you know, it’ll change the world.

A state that redraws its legislative maps before every election to maximize advantage for the incumbent party is not a democracy or a republic and in any case obviously violates the guarantee clause, among many others. No country does this. No country ever thought of doing this. It is a total farce.

This is amazing. Brilliant way for people to comprehend the enormity of the files with these visuals. Glad the survivors were acknowledged with the bright light of the candles 🕯️

I've long said that Google is the worst climate criminal that there is, even worse than the fossil fuel for all that have done by pushing climate science disinformation because they profited from it. Same goes for the way they've undermined democracy, it's profitable. Do no harm, my ass!

“10 publishers—The Toxic 10—are spreading baseless, unscientific climate denial on their own websites & across social media. They are responsible for 69% of all interactions with climate denial content on Facebook. It's a climate denial propaganda machine funded in part by Google via ad revenue…”

Pardon me while I sigh in envy.

“Once countries that produce fossil fuels start discussing how to leave them behind, the market hears… transition risk becoming transition policy. That is how phaseouts tend to happen in practice. First the taboo breaks. Then the process forms. Then capital starts to move.”

Paris urban biking investment helps cut pollution in half: “Between 2005 and 2024, levels of nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter — 2 of the most harmful pollutants to human health — have been slashed by 50% and 55%, respectively.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/paris-proves...

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump. Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done. Yet only one is considered a "power grab." Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

Voter ID? How about Donor ID? Nobody can spend a dime influencing our politics, be it elections or governing unless they are human beings & American citizens.

As gasoline prices climb & California loses refining capacity, the state is importing more and more gas refined from Russian oil, thereby funding Russia's war in Ukraine. Almost seems like being stuck on fossil fuels is a lose-lose proposition.

Every Canadian and American should watch this.

"logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement."

The Chornobyl disaster exposed the cynicism of the Soviet system and became one of the factors behind the USSR’s collapse. Authorities concealed the scale of the catastrophe, prioritizing image over human safety and putting thousands at risk. 🧵 1/11

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

"I think it’s a fact that at least some of these big companies look for communities that are news deserts to build projects like these, because it’s easier for them when there’s less public scrutiny."

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

LEFT: What Donald is making our troops in Iran eat. RIGHT: What Donald is giving folks at Mar-a-Lago to eat. Honestly, I thought I was going to make this point a lot better than I can. The food at Mar-a-Lago may be richer and more plentiful, but it still looks like poorly-plated slop.

🚨 Türkiye’s #solar DOUBLED in two years 🌞⚡️ Annual installations hit a record 4.8 GW in 2023 and have since remained close to this level, setting the stage for solar to rise exponentially, doubling from 18.4 TWh in 2023 to 37.3 TWh in 2025 📈📈 ember-energy.org/lat...

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

1981: Polish pope takes on authoritarian Polish government, Republicans cheer 2026: American pope takes on authoritarian American government, Republicans boo I’m not surprised by the situational ethics on display here, but it is notable

Democrats don't control the narrative.

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2090...

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

"I broke the law, endangered my community, and now I'm the victim because driving safely isn't sexy." This is the exact entitlement that makes our streets too dangerous for kids to walk or bike to school. The carbrain mindset compounds itself.

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

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.

This is extremely key: when sweeping away fascist regimes, act *immediately* with the momentum of democratic legitimacy to excise the accumulated illegitimate power structures.

Two fun facts When we invest heavily and consistently in electrification and renewables, successes like solar rebates and battery rebates, we permanently bend the curve away from fossil dependence Sadly, right now, we're instead defending and subsidising fossil use bsky.app/profile/prof...
