Europe’s July energy‑transition report shows slower progress than projected. Grid modernization targets in Germany and France are slipping, and the Commission is preparing enforcement measures. #EU #energy

The Senate vacancy created by Lindsey Graham’s death is already altering July’s committee math. A single absent vote changes the trajectory of the foreign‑aid negotiations, and the chamber now has to absorb that shock while maintaining continuity. #senate #policy

I disagreed with most of Lindsey Graham’s positions, especially on federal authority over health policy. But disagreement doesn’t erase the fact that a long public career ended abruptly. A death in office disrupts the work, and it’s still a human loss. #senate

Corporate consolidation is being framed as efficiency, though history shows concentrated economic power inevitably distorts markets and weakens civic autonomy. A healthy society requires dispersion of influence, not aggregation. #Corporations #Greed

They’re putting AI data centers in the ocean next. Panthalassa, a startup from Portland, just raised $140 MILLION in a round led by Peter Thiel.

Teachers are the backbone of every community. As such, workload, pay, and respect require consideration in all discussion of education.

Such a cruel, unfeeling philosophy that "personal choices explain every outcome."

The Supreme Court keeps stretching executive power, and everyone’s pretending it’s a normal plot point. In theater, when a character grabs authority that isn’t in the script, the audience reacts. Government should expect the same instead of demanding calm. *We are the audience. Reacting.

The Steady State yesterday filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for failing to release records about the agency’s monitoring of citizens engaged in constitutionally protected protest and political speech. steadystate1.substack.com/p/lawsuit-se...

Peace vs silence: One is chosen. The other is imposed. #blackstandardcollective

We’ve built cities for a climate that no longer exists, and we’re pretending shade is optional. An unscientific yet reliable, barometer of uncomfortable heat is when children complain. As a child we loved hot days--but not of this extreme. I hear children complain at 10:00 AM. #climate

We pray for this.

Miller is everthing we learned to fear and to loathe in Europe.

I was young the first time the news disturbed me and how fortunate for me my great-grandmother was alive. "Oh Allie, I am so sorry. None of this is new. Your parents think they discovered injustice. [she cackled] Hardship and cruelty are constants best combated, not by outrage, but love."

Great science project and I am plagiarizing it and what's more might just implement it.

Are we currently on: Ceasefire/Strait Opened or Bombing/Strait Closed? I know it is one or the other but this is getting hard to track.

Israel fired on civilians who attempted to collect the bodies of victims in South Lebanon. Israel has claimed those civilians are "terrorists". This disgusting military has no shame.

As my friend @dorothyhostetter.bsky.social wrote, hunger in America is unforgivable.

One hopes The Constitution remains in effect.

In our current crisis, I return again and again to the observation institutions mistake continuity for stability. A system can run on habit long after it’s lost the capacity to solve the problems it was built for. Personally, I feel we are shackled. #Change

University published a paper shows that attention spans haven’t collapsed — the environment has. My generation in particular seems to be assaulted by constant barrage of sensory input. Go ski. Go play soccer. Go sit somewhere.

Virginians need to show up. #Virginia #Commonwealth www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Might it be possible to remove all in-print mentions of him? Is there some way to preserve the harsh lessons of his tenures but without any reminders of him at all?

A federal judge finally told a telecom company it can’t throttle emergency‑service bandwidth. Is it pitiful or is it pathetic that this required litigation instead of basic decency?

Keep up you spirits friends.

Seems to be the will of the people. However, rarely does government grant anything without a tax revenue agenda. filtermag.org/virginia-gov...

We really are all just improvising and ad-libbing our way though. I suppose we ought to keep this in mind in our treatment of others......and in our self-talk. Goodnight, Bill

It’s wild to talk to folks about Missouri only to hear someone blame “the Democrats.” What Democrats? We’ve had a Republican legislative supermajority for over two decades and haven’t had a statewide elected Dem since 2018. Everything you see in this state is due to Republican authoritarianism.

Celebrating Starmer's move on speech and media? Loving that Bluesky is untouched? Feeling triumphant? When the state begins with control of expression the state ends with murder of citizens. #History #Data #Science #Facts #Evidence

Qanon Shaman. Thing is, hate him for his principles, acknowledge the error of his principles. But he acted on an identifiable system of belief. Herr Trump only knows paths to greed.

A rather presidential aura.

Not to overstate and not to overlook myriad crises and wars, but it is nice to see the world come together in the spirit of sport.

Main thing I do not get: slip on over to other social media. Conservatives themselves HATE Lindsey Graham. Who likes him? How does he get more than 4 votes?

The beauty of Panama’s molas is the precision — layers of color cut and stitched into patterns that carry history in every line. Guna women turned technique into identity, and you can feel that pride in every panel. #molas #Panama #artistry

Men who commit this kind of violence with this kind of rhetoric are not protecting women and girls; they are trying to legislate which men have the right to harm women and girls (and of course it's men like them and not those other men).

The corruption doesn't ever go away; like reptiles, it sometimes dives back into the swampy muck and resurfaces elsewhere

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love. Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below! We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

Journalists, particularly female journalists, continue to be verbally abused by Trump. @sulliview.bsky.social offers some ways to respond the next time he decides to humiliate or embarrass them.

Curtis Sliwa is pushing to have MSG’s controversial property tax exemption revoked after, he says, James Dolan “blasphemed” Mamdani. Just to add a bit more spin to this ball www.nj.com/sports/2026/...

Despite coming up short in the finals, the Spurs had an incredible season and have an even bigger future ahead. Think about it - we made it to the finals after missing the playoffs for about seven years straight!
