Trump’s corruption is — by far — the largest national security threat.

What a wonderful #RunLikeAGirl book launch! A super positive event with a fun & diverse crowd. Honoured that @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social attended with politicians across party lines, climate activists, family & friends. Thankful for the incredible support! 🏃‍♀️ carolineinthecapital.ca/catherine-mc...

Alasdair Roberts nails it: “the country is suffering from cognitive dissonance. On one hand, Canadians understand that our world has changed profoundly, and that we need to step back and reflect about how to move forward. On the other hand, we are still conducting politics as usual.“

We would recognize the need for a countrywide dialogue about the generational challenges facing 🇨🇦. We would provide Cdns with the info they need to make thoughtful choices about their country’s future. & we would recognize that serious conversation takes time www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Have you seen the new survey on public support for child care programs in Canada, from YMCA Canada & YWCA Canada and the Environics Institute for Survey Research? Here's the story in @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Where other shows strain to be topical, Melvyn Bragg was determined that “In Our Time” would be “never knowingly relevant”. Among its 1,000-episode archive are episodes on “Hildegard of Bingen” and “Feathered Dinosaurs”

Kicking off Season 3 (😮) of the WHAT IF WE GET IT RIGHT? podcast with Bill McKibben — on photons, fogies, energy liberation, and what he sees in his crystal ball. ☀️⚡️👴🏻🔮 On Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/029N... On Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

"Since 2019, the global annual rate of democratic backsliding has quadrupled, new data show. At least 112 countries have lost some political freedom, and more than a third of these were not experiencing decline before the pandemic."

Recent political science shows that politicians & their staff systematically misperceive public opinion, thinking it's more conservative than it is. @alexanderfurnas.com et al finds, though, that this isn't replicated uniformly across other elites, like journos, who think others share their views

The article was pretty mocking of the Hamptons elite but this is truly next level

The overall discussion of enrollment and earnings etc. is sound, but if the % of men with a PSE credential has never been higher, why write something like “boys and men are not choosing further education”?They are not choosing it at the same rate as women, but more are choosing it than before.

Underestimating support for climate action limits political decision making, study says. Research reveals huge disparity between perceived and actual willingness of public to contribute to fixing climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As a former resident of wonk-land, this made me snort www.economist.com/britain/2025...

"Fossil fuel pollution is overheating Canadian forests, spawning an out-of-control wildfire crisis. Wildfire is now incinerating four times more forest carbon than during the 1990s."

Plug-in balcony solar panels could mean cheaper power. But Canada needs to get on board first. Germany has seen boom in balcony solar, but murky regulations mean North America slower to adopt www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

Happy Labour Day! This is the day when we honour and celebrate the history of the Canadian Labour Movement. Did you know Americans took the idea for Labor Day from Canada? Or that the holiday dates back 130+ years? This is the story! 🧵 1/9

Wildfires have burned about 7% of Canada's forests — roughly 27.3 million hectares — since 2023, and the country’s tree nurseries are wondering how they can possibly keep up. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/26/n...

Both men intend it this way, meaning the don’t get into all the Bad News that they could, but this conversation with Bill McKibbin and @chrislhayes.bsky.social really is the most hopeful, optimistic thing I’ve heard in months. Smash the glass and use it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

"In the U.S. and Brazil,...trust in elections increased when shown examples of officials belonging to the losing side rejecting claims of voter fraud...people’s trust increased after receiving both a warning they might see election misinformation and a preemptive debunking of election fraud claims."

Terrible decision out of Saskatchewan today. There are so many better things to spend $1 billion on than keeping polluting, asthma-causing, coal plants open. Literally any other course of action would make more sense than this.

The EU must use the anti coercion instrument now, or be humiliated. Europe must be free to enforce its own law on its own soil.

Heat pumps are magical machines. Instead of combusting fossil fuels to generate heat they transport heat from the air, ground or water into your home. This reduces carbon emissions instantly by about 80% with the current electricity mix. It will be 100% by mid 2030s.

New tech scales way faster than old. Solar went from 100 → 1,000 TWh in 8 years, then doubled again to 2,000 TWh by 2024—in just 3 more years. For each of the last three years, solar was the biggest source of new electricity globally. Nothing else has scaled this fast.

The whole campaign is a reminder that the internet is a conduit — not a replacement — for IRL engagement. And that means it gets to be fun and personable. It's incredible to me that this isn't already being endorsed and copied by the Democratic leadership.

One of the most remarkable and impactful transformations of all human technology and civilization in history is happening right now!

We laid out the rationale for a RC in an open letter earlier this year, a letter that was supported by about 100 academic and non-academic co-signatories. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ma...

Charles Breton made a similar case here. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ma...

Karen Henderson is the longest-serving Republican appointee on the D.C. Circuit. She’s deeply conservative but not Trumpy. In ordering the Trump administration to restore a congressionally mandated database of federal spending, she strongly suggests the president is engaging in king-like behavior.

NEW in Bolts: Seattle voters decided this week to renew their "democracy vouchers," which is a unique program that hands residents $100 in vouchers to donate to local candidates of their choice. The program will continue for another 10 years. Bolts explains! boltsmag.org/seattle-demo...

In my professional opinion, this is one of the most importantly correct single articles in all democratic theory (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...):

The central point must be hammered away: distrust is MADE by political actors, it is not primarily a naturally occurring phenomenon. So I'm skeptical that institutional reforms or interventions are going to successfully address it that don't involve somehow eradicating the forces weaponizing it.

An EU Citizens' Panel on intergenerational justice will begin in September. Interested parties can submit their ideas and visions online until the end of July. www.buergerrat.de/en/news/trea... #CitizensAssembly

🇨🇳 China installed 464 GW of solar capacity in the 12 months to June☀️ That's more than the total EU solar capacity as of 2024 (338 GW) and DOUBLE the total US solar capacity (229 GW). ...in just 12 months

Moving onto a brief video explaining what the assembly looked like, featuring really heartwarming commentary from members.
