Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

Good news - we’re doubling down on clean energy Why? Because it’s cheaper than natural gas It's even cheaper to build now 👇

"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced." This is how you do a just transition. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

As fuel prices soar, climate leaders urge Democrats to equate clean energy with affordability [via @theguardian.com]

Not going to read it. Just going to assume it's because he's a pedophile.

I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters. But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Monday? No, thank you. #dogsofbluesky

Apparently, someone thought I was cold. #dogsofbluesky #throwbackthursday

One of my guardians took a video of me eating carrots in slow-mo by accident. Too ridiculous not to share. #dogsofbluesky

Truly incredible. Honestly, China electrification of EVERYTHING is making USA, UK and EU looking like 3rd world

Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸 Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in. This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale. Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

These Machines Fight Traffic. Walked by this beauty last night - pretty awesome to see these messages out in the world.

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027. The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

When it’s too hot, I prefer to lie down in the shade. Not walk. Not play. Just shade. #dogsofbluesky

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

When a Democrat was accused of sexual assault this week, his party took exactly three days to strip him of power. The two parties are not the same.

I think cancer patients need this a lot more than Doug Ford needs a private jet. #ontario #onpoli

Microplastics are found in our bones, brains, and bodies. Hemp is a solution, as it can be used to make biodegradable plastics. Let’s use hemp to stop microplastics.

Okay, the strait is open. Now lets get to work on: 1. Creating 1 100% renewable energy grid 2. Universal healthcare 3. Raising The Minimum wage 4. Guaranteeing every American work if the are willing and able 5. Ending hunger and homelessness 6. Regulating AI and breaking up big tech 7. School

We Deserve Better Than This….

Dachea Fluerimond should be alive today. But like many Black women seeking maternal care, her pain was dismissed, delegitimized, & ignored. This Black Maternal Health Week, I'm more resolved than ever to end the maternal morbidity crisis that is still ravaging our communities.

Which one are you? Couldn’t possibly say which one I am 🤭 🧶 #knit

Under first-past-the-post, independent riding boundaries are just an honour system based on whether the ruling party decides to play fair. Proportional representation replaces this with multi-party accountability, ensuring broad support matters more than partisan map-making.

Jeesh. And we used to get upset over Big Dumb Doug Ford getting a fancy van? The boy has risen in the world. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼 www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

A traitor to both his party and his country.

Big thanks to @robbotterell.bsky.social and @bcgreens.bsky.social for championing electoral reform in BC. Their recent exchange in the house shows that the push for a Citizens' Assembly is gaining ground. It is time to retire first-past-the-post and build a democracy where every vote matters.

Food for thought .... "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." - Helder Camara -

Ford’s "false majority," won with just 40% of the vote, lets him use omnibus bills to skip hearings and hide cellphone records amid billion dollar scandals. Proportional representation stops one party rule from gutting transparency laws when they become inconvenient.

There’s already a date onboard for a general strike May 1st, National Strike No work, no school, no shopping www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

War in the Middle East. ICE unleashing violence on our streets. Health care ripped away from millions. This is why the President is so desperate to suppress the vote.

Change is in the air, New York. Here are a few things blooming.

If Hillary Clinton had to testify under oath to Congress about Epstein, why the hell hasn't Melania been brought in? Certainly far more connections to Jeffrey.

Meanwhile in China...

I finished this shawl in a short to 2-ish weeks. I love its spring vibes. The pattern called for a picot border and I said NOPE! 🙂‍↔️ There are other things I prefer more. #ravelry (user:Apollo1975) #knitting #menwhoknit #lgbtqknitter #gayknitter #yarn #craft #IMadeThis #fiberarts

Rachel Reeves said she wants to cut the link between wholesale gas and electricity saying that she and Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, would set out more details within days on ways of ensuring the wholesale price of electricity is set more often by renewables www.ft.com/content/2adc...

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Ford's Gravy Plane Ford spent $28.9M taxpayer dollars to buy a jet for his private use. Wondering why he wants jets at Billy Bishop Airport? It'll cost at least another $1 billion tax dollars so Ford can land his jet in downtown Toronto. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Welcome back online, #bluesky! Probably the last big #northernlights night of the season here in #Iceland. G2 geomagnetic storm warning predicted to hit around 21:00-midnight GMT and persist through 6:00. That means North America might be lined up for a prime time show. 📸 April 17, 2025 #aurora

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

my conspiracy theory is wall street is doing everything it can to keep everything from collapsing until dems take the house and senate so they can blame the implosion on them

A convicted felon as President of the United States talking about removing criminals is the very definition of hypocrisy.

Catching a quick snooze. It’s exhausting waiting for someone to put on their shoes. #dogsofbluesky

Why Canada? Why? We should be better than this. @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

100% of copper mines have polluted water downstream. This mine will be no different. And why? So Twin Metals' Chilean parent company can profit by shipping our copper ore to China to be smelted and sold on the global market. It’s up to Congress to permanently protect the Boundary Waters.

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS
