Now that RFK Jr has found the cure for autism, he can retire with our thanks.

This weekend's episodes of the America show are giving final season vibes.

Donald Trump ordering his Attorney General to prosecute his enemies, on Truth Social. Seems he meant to text or DM her. It's all out in the open. The corruption. The assault on freedom of speech. The weaponizing of the DOJ to prosecute his enemies, even when no crime can be found. All right there.

The number of times an aspiring authoritarian was stopped through capitulation remains 0

Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that government officials can't use legal coercion as a way to punish or suppress speech. The decision was unanimous. What Trump and Carr did broke the law and violated the First Amendment rights of multiple parties.

Look, folks, I don't make the rules.

I didn't want Charlie Kirk's killer to be a liberal, but that's where we are*. Two excerpts from the charging document. Full document linked below. * - Unless you believe law enforcement is just outright lying here, which seems unlikely, as this will become evidence in the case.

Here’s a brief story, with receipts about Trump administration corruption and crypto industry collusion that WILL be investigated once the majority of the House is filled with people who take ethics and the Constitution seriously:

It's completely appropriate to criticize extreme things said by leaders and prominent people on the other side. It's incredibly corrosive to amplify and dunk on extremist nobodies on the other side.

Liberal friends posting that the killer is MAGA or a Groyper: Wait for real info. And understand that it's unlikely. 1. Registered 'unaffiliated'. 2. Casings had anti-Nazi, anti-fascist slogans. 3. Family member says the kid saw Kirk as full of hate and spreading hate.

Everyone with a platform right now should be condemning political violence of all stripes, and particularly from their own side. Fanning the flames here - on either side - is an act of encouraging further political violence. We have to stop this cycle, not feed it. RIP, Charlie Kirk.

@ramez.bsky.social: "Allowing Chinese EVs into the country - and ending the tariffs on China - would do more for EV growth in the US than the now-dead EV tax credit. Won't happen under this admin, clearly." #alwaysbecharging

If, while campaigning this fall, Kamala Harris said “If you let Donald Trump back into the White House he will destroy our alliance with Canada in less than sixty days” everyone would have thought she was nuts.

You can fool some of the people some of the time..

Good morning with good news: Chile is using wind and solar to rapidly decarbonize its grid. Wind and solar skyrocketed from 5.50% of Chile's electricity in January 2016 to 42.93% in January 2025! Jan 2025 43% Jan 2022 31% Jan 2019 14% Jan 2016 5.50% Rapid decarbonization! #energysky #greensky

Annual births in the US peaked in 2007 and have been dropping since. After 2025, most forecasts are that we'll see high school graduating classes start shrinking. America needs immigrants. One day, perhaps, we'll wake up to that fact.

these aren’t the actions of people who are strong these are the actions of weak losers

Trump is losing in court so far. Still early days, though.

Tesla sales plummet across Europe.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

Have greenhouse gas emissions in #China peaked? If not, when will they? When it comes to #climate mitigation, it could be the single most important question. This week on SHIFT KEY, we talk to a leading expert, @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social and unpack China's energy transition. Do NOT miss it. 🔌💡

House Republicans kill permitting reform. So much for wanting to build.

Plaquemines LNG export facility in LA is now operational, the eighth liquefied natural gas export facility in the U.S. to come online. The facility will be able to produce 20 million metric tons of LNG annually (~2.6 Bcf/day) or ~20% of total 2023 US exports www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/... 🔌💡 🛢️🔥

Growing wine grapes under solar panels can increase yields by 60%. That seems like the definition of unalloyed good news www.pv-magazine.com/2024/11/29/a...

This is the way.

Canada's exports to the US. Safe to expect the price at the pumps to rise with sky-high tariffs:

A propos some news today: 60% of US oil imports are from Canada. "Many U.S. refineries are designed to handle heavy oils like those produced in Canada’s oil sands" www.eia.gov/todayinenerg... h/t @jordantcarlson.bsky.social

We're all joking & dunking on this ridiculous tariff idea but if implemented it will make food, energy, housing, & cars more expensive for American households and it will no kidding be really bad, especially for low-income families who could just use some breathing room to get ahead instead of this.

Post-election, we will stand up for climate action. First, we are going to stand up for science. We will also stand up for dreams of a better future – and keep them alive. Finally, we will stand up for climate heroes – to celebrate & support their incredible work. drawdown.org/insights/sta...

Circa 2030, replacing an EV battery pack will cost no more than replacing an internal combustion engine insideevs.com/news/742022/...

We need to deploy 2-5 GW and $25B by 2030 to achieve #liftoff in enhanced #geothermal. This will bring the price down far enough to unlock 90 GW by 2040. liftoff.energy.gov/next-generat...

There is no “game over” in the fight against climate change. Today, it remains our collective task to continue to bend the arc of global emissions towards net zero. The next battle begins today. heatmap.news/ideas/trump-...

35 years ago this week (this past Saturday) the Berlin Wall came down. Over the months and years that followed, tens of millions of people in Eastern Europe gained or regained freedoms. Today we're seeing a march of authoritarianism around the world. I, for one, do not think it will last. (1/2)

Climate change terminology does not influence willingness to take climate action Our new paper (N=6,132, across 63 countries) suggests that focusing on subtle terminology in climate messaging is not an effective use of resources. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @kimdoell.bsky.social

Today at COP29, the US announced a roadmap to deploy 15 GW of nuclear by 2035, & 15 GW per year after that by 2040, for a total of 200GW by 2050. I kicked this off and led it from OSTP while there and I’m very glad to see the final product from whole team. Let’s go www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Trump choosing a Fox anchor to be Secretary of Defense is my first real "is this a dream?" moment since election day.

1. It’s that time of the year. The WMO State of the Climate Update was released today(ish), taking momentary stock of where the climate is. So, some climate nuggets. 🧵

Scrap / Match all the people you follow on X who are on Bsky (requires chrome and waiting a bit on the X page, about 3 hour estimate to scan though my 5k ish list here) - chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-f... When I mass follow people in a few hours this is why. Free

Export your data Archive, import it into Bsky so it's algo picks up your community / your content is transferred which helps can attract the same following community - blueark.app I have 7k pieces of media which, when viewing in aggregate, make me consider my mental health :). And the.

Unlike when BlueSky initially launched, there are now tools to migrate X data to make using Bsky basically immediately like twitter was before the algo became very political. These are quite amazing for preserving the 'value' of time put into X for many of us over years.

Hello, Bluesky. One thing this site lacks is bookmarking. I do enjoy the ability to bookmark interesting thoughts from people in a cross-platform, cross-device way. I'd love it to be cross-app too.

@johnconorryan.bsky.social Nice to meet you last night
