The exciting talent @katiewilson.bsky.social has taken a narrow lead as ballots are still being counted in the Seattle mayoral race. If you want a sense of why this is very cool news, here's something of mine from earlier this fall www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Third Act Educators--big national call coming up with Ron Berger on the roots of fascism in this country! thirdact.org/educators/20...

🤯 This new @permitpower.bsky.social report reveals that if we cut down on red tape for solar installations, we could unlock solar power for almost 20 MILLION families across the U.S. 🇺🇸 If it’s already working in countries like Australia & Germany, why can’t it work here? 👇🧵

If we had the same cheap, instant access to rooftop solar systems, not only could we power the homes of 18.2 million families, but we could also save $1.2 trillion in the process 💸 🔗 Read the full Permit Power report here: permitpower.org/resources/as...

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes. Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Despite vile Islamophobic campaigning, Muslims won historic victories in NY and VA, the targets of the 9/11 attacks Perhaps Trump hasn’t permanently halted America’s slow march towards a true multi-ethnic democracy

Inexplicably, the pro-ballroom vote failed to materialize last night

Today’s GOP is like a western where the bad guys have run amok for a year and now word comes from the east that a new sheriff might arrive next year Do you accelerate your lawlessness or try to curb your behavior a bit?

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

Australia has so much clean energy they're literally giving it away. Meanwhile, GOP is in all-out war to stamp out solar www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

As is often the case, @joshtpm.bsky.social Josh Marshall has a very good point to make, this time about the need for people who have done well by our society to stand the heck up for it talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/fear-...

I think the 'King Trump defecates on America from his jet' video should be played and replayed at every opportunity, and in one Dem ad after another. I know MAGAcore thinks it's funny, but I think most other people are still, even at this late date, shocked by its crudity. It cuts through the noise

I'm not sure there's anyone in the world who knows more about the entire clean energy landscape than @solarchase.bsky.social Completely invaluable!

I should be used to it by now, but it's really weird to live in a country run by a gross pig

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

Of the 2,500 No Kings gatherings across America, few were more saturated in American history—in flags and historical costumes—than the one on the Battle Green in Lexington, where the Minutemen fought another king 250 years ago.

Leave it to @billmckibben.bsky.social to inspire from the hallowed grounds of the original No Kings battle: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

You could plausibly say the No Kings movement started in Lexington in 1775, so it was a great pleasure to be on the Battle Green today with thousands upon thousands of good people unafraid of the fight ahead www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
