We can stop this insanity. We can protect our burning planet and life itself. Vote for life. Not a burned out, polluted, poisoned wasteland.

"Rainforest that has been regenerating for 30 years after being used as cattle pasture showed a remarkable increase in butterfly colour diversity." It turns out rewilding even has the power to restore the colours human activities are draining from the natural world. share.google/0cifnGipUkG5...

$16 billion. That's how much the PJM market monitor estimates that electricity ratepayers will pay via increased utility bills to subsidize interconnection of data centers owned by Big Tech. A massive give-away to some of the most profitable companies in the world. www.eenews.net/articles/dat...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The ‘Alliance Defending Freedom’ is a hate group. A homophobic hate group. Imagine lobbying the Supreme Court for a law change that leads to harmful ‘therapy’ that leads to 40-60% of ‘patients’ becoming suicidal. How do they sleep at night. Vote.

Residential solar (installed before Dec 31) still qualifies for 30% federal tax credit. There has never been a better day than today to save your pocketbook and the planet. We did it. Cut our electricity bill by 70-80% each month and have peace of mind we are not incinerating our future.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... there we go. In a nutshell. Vote.

Planted 217 new trees today, 18 different species, with Trees Charlotte. Not only is it so satisfying to see a new micro forest appear in a morning, it’s joyful to see the looks on folks faces as they realize they can make a difference. We’re all part of this world and under the same flag. 🌳🌲🇺🇸

Halloween scene incoming. Loving the lake life.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

If you saw "Trump Rx" and immediately thought "Trump Steaks" and other grifts, well, you're right. You will not even be able to buy anything on Trump Rx; it's just a funnel to existing corporate patient assistance sites that don't touch the structural factors that keep drug prices high. From me:

The Ukrainian military—the toughest, most experienced, most adaptable, most successful on the modern battlefield—is beardy old men, women, artists, gamers who can’t deadlift sh*t but can fly a drone into a Russian helicopter rotor Focusing on capabilities, not “looks,” is how you achieve victory

How can anyone deny we are now in a dictatorship. Trump called this meeting to sic the military on his opponents. Us. Fuck me. It’s actually happening. Before our very eyes.

was your merino sweater sourced from a sheep-solar farm? maybe it should be! @chrisbaraniuk.com on the surprising benefits of cohabiting solar arrays and agriculture, for @atmosmag.bsky.social 🌎🧪

Pollinators such as wild #bees, #butterflies, and #hoverflies are in trouble worldwide. A major new study, published in Science, shows that the oft-quoted figure of 10% semi-natural habitat in farmland landscapes is far too little to safeguard pollinators jeffollerton.co.uk/2025/09/26/p...

Nothing good can come of X and TikTok being in the hands of far right billionaires. We may just be totally fucked.

The statue of Trump & Epstein (left) lasted 1 day on the National Mall, despite a permit that ran through Sunday. It was the 3d of 3 such temporary installations (apparently by the same anonymous artist). The White House criticized the 1st two, but they remained for the duration of their permits.

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Kimmel blacked out in 23% of the US. Gets record ratings of more than six million.

Release the Epstein files.

Another desperate attempt by people who can’t stand the idea of New Yorkers electing their mayor instead of billionaires buying one.

Really American In an epic moment, CNN's Daniel Dale fact checks Trump's false claims from the UN General Session into oblivion, debunking Trump's lies about grocery prices, inflation, and energy costs. Share widely.

Even now, this investigative piece is insane. This pair of amoral, soulless grifters, a dog killer and a psychopath who sexually assaults women running a national police force. What could go wrong. Vote. We can stop this.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... bravo, you may not think it matters. Showing up for protests, writing to your congressperson, boycotting companies who cave to fascism. But it does. It’s America if we can keep it. The midterms are coming. Our flag is still there.

"I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs."--Donald Trump

"The humble road can now help deliver heating and cooling to your home! A ‘thermo-road’ is doing just that for 12 terraced houses in Denmark’s Hedensted municipality, about 250 km west of Copenhagen." 🔌💡 ehpa.org/heat-pump-st...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Every single bit of this. This is why I pay to support one of the last remaining independent and factual media sources in the UK and globally. Bravo.

"Every single reliable poll shows that a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump. Media brands that cave to Trump, or appear to do so, risk alienating a huge swath of the American audience." —@brianstelter.bsky.social e.newsletters.cnn.com/click?Ecm9zZ...

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Gary Kasparov describes how Putin put an end to Russia's nascent free press, starting with attacks on comedians. The similarities to the Trump approach are uncanny. www.thenextmove.org/p/i-saw-how-...

They are allowed to do that. They are precisely allowed to do precisely that. Politicians from Left or Right who slobber after the power to suppress dissenting speech are—under our cherished Constitution—impotent.

Researchers at Xerces & @unevadareno.bsky.social tested the plants butterflies use in two major cities—nearly all had pesticides, many at lethal levels. Every step to reduce pesticide use is a win.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Fascinating and alarming. Seems planting more native plants is the way to go. We have to support wild pollinators as a first order of business. I love the honeybee but this is a crisis.

Top Scientists Find Growing Evidence That Greenhouse Gases Are, in Fact, a Danger

The point isn’t what anyone said or didn’t say, but the overt government censorship endorsed by an entire party, most institutions, and a burgeoning police state where Americans are reporting people who don’t follow the mandatory patriotic line This is not normal, folks It’s not American

www.wired.com/story/extrem... Oathkeepers reportedly offering Trump nationwide 'militias'. Vote. The only way this stops is people power showing up at the ballot box. The Govt silencing of comedians is merely the first step to unraveling our rights and democracy. Vote.

Exactly this

This is what fascism sounds like. Cracking down on anyone who disagrees with them or portrays the Trump regime in an undesirable light. The country is changing before our very eyes. 🇺🇸

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

🚨🚨 If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be: "the evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused GHGs is beyond scientific dispute." BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE 🚨🚨

Of course. Because of course.

The thing about lying is that it snowballs quickly. So, when you’re trying to lie to an entire nation, there’s infinite ground you have to cover. It is simply not possible to not get caught. The Trump regime is wrapped in its own web of lies, one it will keep tripping over until it’s stuck for good.

These estimates of public support for violence (from www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...) are inflated - *much* higher than what we and others have found using question wording that reduces acquiescence bias: brightlinewatch.org/accelerated-... The vast majority of Americans reject political violence.

Getting more sinister by the minute www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence. www.wcpo.com/us-news/crim...

www.theguardian.com/environment/... insane and saddening. We can save our world, it starts with nature and renewable energy. Vote.
