I’ll be giving a free, public webinar on December 11th about the future of climate solutions. Please come if you can! And please share with your networks. Thanks so much!

Happy Black Friday Eve to all who celebrate.

Andrei lives in Moldova, where he hasn’t been outside for over a year because his secondhand power wheelchair needs expensive modifications. Donations this week to Grassroots Open Assistive Tech will support Andrei’s project. Please pitch in to help Andrei take his dog for a walk! <3

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

Spot on.

Food causes 22-34% of climate change. But it only gets 4% of the media coverage. Why? Neglect. Misunderstanding. And a hell of a lot of greenwashing.

Hey, folks, please check out the new Drawdown Explorer. It’s the world’s leading resource for science-backed climate solutions. And now it provides the most up-to-date, localized, actionable intelligence to help scale these solutions out in the world. Drawdown.org/explorer

Couldn’t Trump just use the $17 trillion he says he got from all these other countries to fund the government? That should cover us for a while. Where is that, by the way?

A vital read.

Amazing!

Or designing a complicated mop instead of turning off the faucet.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

If the world were a town of 1000 people, 13 of them would be American, white, and male. A surprisingly high portion of those thirteen would say that they are the most important people on the planet. Weird.

The Trump administration has already added nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies for oil, gas, and coal in 2025, a report released Tuesday finds, sending an additional $4 billion out the door each year for fossil fuels over the next decade. And guess what, taxpayers are going to pay for it.

Learning opportunity.

And yet, federal employees still have to complete annual whistleblower training that encourages them to report wrongdoing and assures them they will be protected if they do.

Big props to whoever came up with the idea of calling Trump “Metamucilini”

From an op-ed by Janet Yellen, who has led the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department.

It takes real money to be a spineless coward.

How it works.

Here’s a distinction we’re debating politically and culturally. I would have said “sufficiency” instead of “abundance”. There’s such a thing as “enough” — enough is plenty, and there’s enough for everyone.

Man of the people.

Carbon emissions are good, mRNA vaccines are bad. How to be wrong about everything.

If Trump were actually the strong-man he pretends to be, he'd tell Netanyahu to allow the food to flow, so innocent Palestinian children don't die of starvation. Talking about how sad this is in between rounds at his golf course in Scotland is weak beyond words.   Feed Gaza.

NEW: Thousands hit the streets of Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, to protest at the arrival of Donald Trump. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏

Sometimes it's helpful to step back and restate the obvious. Trump/JD Vance spin on Epstein falls apart because they're saying two things at once: 1) What's in the Epstein files will exonerate Trump and show it all to be a Dem/media hoax 2) No we won't release the Epstein files

Just learned a fancy word for quite of few people I’ve met!

Something constructive we can do.

“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.” RIP, Joanna R. Macy (May 2, 1929 – July 19, 2025)

Inept cruelty.

Worthwhile read.

MAGA Voter Drills Hole Into Skull To Relieve Sudden Doubts About Trump

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

METLIFE: “.. The Damage Has Been Done .. We will be watching the behavior of the savings rate relative to yields, consumer sentiment, and corporate profit margins to refine our outlook for growth over the next few quarters.”

My great grandparents came here from Ireland, Nova Scotia, Sweden, and Denmark. Other ancestors came from Germany, the Netherlands, and England. Yours?

Helpful, factual timeline.

Plus: “It’s hard to talk to you while you’re hitting yourself in the head.” “See? I’m winning!”

Please read the whole thread. Important perspective. Thank you, Sarah Taber.

Good question.

This is exactly what will happen. His base has already been negatively polarized against the basic concept of healthcare. This bill is a gigantic boon to the coffee enema and "alternative" cancer treatment scam industry.

This one speaks for itself.

Folks who voted for this, and were informed this is what they were voting for, don’t want this, and will claim they never voted for it. But they did.

Disrupting!

"No fire and brimstone speech can turn back the clock on what digital media has done to how we talk to one another, how we consume news and how much outrage now shapes a million versions of personalized reality." Sharp piece from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/o...

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Recall: a tough, fair, bipartisan immigration bill was tanked by Trump so he could electioneer and demagogue on the issue. If we were addressing the problem competently, he wouldn’t have excuses to gut the Constitution. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Administration: trust us every time we send someone to foreign gulag without showing evidence. We are flawless & would never make a mistake. Administration: here is the classified warplan. We are clean on OPSEC. Oops.
