Memo to Mike Johnson and his White Christian Nationalist ilk: We march not because we hate America but because we hate what they're doing to America.

I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone “hated America.” I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.

No Kings protest kicking off in Washington, D.C. Here’s the view down Pennsylvania Avenue from near the front. Street is totally packed for blocks.

Thank you, BOSTON! #NoKings omg wow!😍😍😍😍😍

"My children are dead!" A Palestinian prisoner released today was expecting to embrace his family, only to find out they had been killed weeks ago in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

And this is why the z1o terr0r1st reg1me cannot get a free pass courtesy of the white west.... #WarCrimes #AlShifa #Executions #Z1oTerr0r1sm #IzrahellIsATerr0r1stState

Momentum is growing for a Youth Climate Corps, a bold new public program to put young people to work protecting our communities & tackling the climate crisis. It's built for this moment. Tell Carney: it’s time to fund a Youth Climate Corps! 👉 www.goodgreenjobsforall.ca/tell-carney

"Solar energy is anticipated to be the world’s main source of energy by 2050" hell yeah

A very informative and inspiring episode. Listen to it!

Honored and excited to be on the 10th anniversary podcast of the Energy Transition Show with @chrisnelder.bsky.social to talk electrotech with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social. By far my favorite podcast I've done! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

A must listen!

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

In London, hate will never win.

🧵 Who's the most informed about American politics? Very lefty seculars. My new FREE study @sfjournal.bsky.social finds atheists/agnostics, especially if they are politically sorted, score higher on knowledge of basic civics & current politics than other groups. 1/ academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

If you told me I could have a great review of my new book from the NYT or from Cory Doctorow, I'd take the latter in a heartbeat pluralistic.net/2025/09/23/o...

Well, at least Trump is clear about what he has always stood for. Hate.

MAGA front group in Alberta begs the Americans to ban me. Here's the thing, I come from a long line of anti-fascists. My uncles kicked Nazi ass all over Europe.

Priceless! 🤣🤣🤣

The only thing slicker than an oil spill is the PR team behind the brand, which is why we’ve teamed up with comedian Seán Burke to highlight how disinformation often starts.

This is powerful. Nine former CDC leaders just came together to defend SCIENCE. Maybe it’s time we LISTEN TO THEM— not the loud voices spreading MISINFORMATION. Science saves lives. Lies cost them www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Really enjoyed listening to this and as a local humanist group organizer I will now have to check out Alastair’s blog

When they start writing folk songs about it... 👀🎶👇🏾

Remembering Jack Layton. Jack talked me into running for politics. He said Canada needed people who were not afraid to stand up. I believed him. I still do. Jack loved this country. He believed in the goodness of the Canadian people. I try to carry that light with me. Jack is with the angels.

Really enjoyed this podcast. Fascinating discussion and I’m interested to check out Manvir’s work on narrative also.

Over the next few days, you are going to see me reshare it every time an influential climate scientist points out that no, the southern ocean's overturning current hasn't reversed. The reviewed article did not even come close to supporting what was in the media release everyone shared.

“Palestinians arriving at the sites say they are caught between Israeli and American fire, said the contractor who shared videos with the AP.” The U.S. essentially has boots on the ground in Gaza already committing war crimes. But they’re ostensibly there to deliver aid.

Mining for transition minerals can be responsible with joint push, experts say www.climatechangenews.com/2025/06/27/m...

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

No war with Iran. No more civilian bloodshed. Enough is enough.

Critics of the administration have had their visas denied or cancelled, been refused entry at our airports, and have even been detained for weeks on end. Sadly, we simply cannot guarantee the safety of our guests, especially those from the global south. This is the sad reality of America today.

An important announcement about the 2026 World Humanist Congress that American Atheists was scheduled to host in Washington, D.C.

It simply is no longer viable for us to hold the 2026 World Humanist Congress in Washington DC as planned, with the US in the state it is. Delighted to announce that we will instead be hosted by the wonderful people of Ottawa, Canada!

"Twenty years ago, the main problem with renewables was that they were so expensive. Now, renewables are cheap, but we need to be able to match that supply to demand. For that, battery storage is clearly one of the best tools in the box.” More in @bloomberglp.bsky.social article with my quotes.

China’s electricity mix is shifting rapidly, with renewables expanding at a record pace. For the first time, this surge in clean power has led to a decline in China’s CO2 emissions, despite continued growth in electricity demand. Now coal generation needs to decline going forward.

Just finished Why We Believe by Agustin Fuentes, a good follow up to David Sloan Wilson’s Darwin’s Cathedral. An interesting read although he lost me a bit near the end in the discussion of “scientism” which I don’t really think is a thing. Next up Will Gervais, Disbelief.

I'm quoted in this "Guardian" piece from last weekend making the point that what has made the US comparatively good for Jews as a minority group is a commitment to liberal pluralism, free speech, and religious freedom: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The ADL... has taken the opposite lesson.

A necessary condition for preventing a global slide into totalitarian darkness must be to break up the tech monopolies. Governments still possess the power to do this.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Yesssss

Great reminder that AI is not inevitable, and you do not need it. It’s a scam perpetuated by tech bros to make money, and if you use it, you’ll always be outperformed by someone who didn’t use it guaranteed every single time.

I've reported thousands of circumcisions since lunch.

Recommended read (non-fiction by the author of the excellent novels American War and This Strange Paradise)

Moments after MPP Mamakwa was removed from the legislature: Reporter: "Can you explain just what precisely the Premier said that you're saying is untruthful?" Sol: "That he respects and honours the duty to consult. That's not the truth. The way [Bill 5] is written up speaks the opposite."

Should be a bigger story that John McCain’s widow Cindy McCain went on American TV and called bullshit on Israel’s lies last weekend. Like John McCain’s widow is now to the left of Cory Booker on Israel. That’s how bad the Dems are on Palestinian human rights.

The 12-person crew, which includes climate activist Greta Thunberg, expects to take seven days to reach Gaza.

CBS News' Scott Pelley delivered a powerful commencement address this week calling out the Trump administration's anti-American maneuvers. And Harvard's president got a standing ovation at their commencement for being a model of Trump resistance. 💪 For more moments of positivity, look no further.
