Trump knows he's unpopular, and that a blue wave will mean real accountability. So he’s doing everything he can to prevent it. When confronted with such blatant suppression, there’s only one thing to do: turn out in such unprecedented numbers that their attempts to game the system fail miserably.

🚨TO CLARIFY: In Maine, ballots must be received by 8 PM on Election Day, regardless of the postmark. Apologies for any confusion! That said, this rule change still raises real concerns for voters—especially seniors and people in rural communities—who are worried about their ballots being counted.

What can you do today? Show up. Speak out. #resist

Renewable energy is saving Texans. “If not for the growth in solar and (battery) storage, we would have seen numerous conservation alerts or probably even blackouts,” Rice’s Daniel Cohan said. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up. Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes. More: www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

The NY Times opinion spells out the illegal and brazen actions taken by Trump to subvert our constitutional processes and democracy to stay in power and enrich himself. He has had many helpers, including Congressional Republicans and the Supreme Court. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

End Citizens' United! Three donors paid more than half of MAGA Inc.'s fundraising haul since July 2025. OpenAI Inc. President Greg Brockman gave $25 million, with Foris DAX Inc., (Crypto.com) donating $20 million and Konstantin Sokolov (private equity) $11 million." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fair warning: If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow. My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history. We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

Solar didn’t just shine in 2025 — it shutdown all of the naysayers. Costs collapsed. Deployment exploded. Markets shifted gears. That’s not a trend — that’s transformation. Years of progress. Years of scale. No shortcuts. No flash. While others exposed their shortcomings, solar forged ahead.

In China, EVs now make up more than half of new car sales, compared with just 1 in 10 in the US. With models ranging from budget to luxury, top safety ratings and competitive prices, here’s how Chinese automakers are reshaping the global market and leaving US carmakers behind.

A tally of the damage www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/o...

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

President Trump’s attempt to abruptly scuttle East Coast wind projects is irresponsible and leaves thousands of workers in limbo during the holiday season. Destroying good union jobs on projects already underway makes no sense. Reverse course and let workers finish the job. https://bit.ly/4awLqLx

Tatiana Schlossberg writes movingly about her daily battle to remain alive for her children and her husband, fighting a rare form of Leukemia. I find her story especially poignant because her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, may hasten her death by canceling cancer funding using mRNA vaccines.

FDR showed us democracy could deliver—restoring trust and creating security for all. We need a bold vision like FDR's that encompasses modern challenges to similarly prioritize security and shared prosperity. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/w...

$1 of every $13 poured into the 2024 elections came from the country's 100 richest people. Trump is letting billionaires run the show and they want to further rig the system for themselves, against working people. It time to End Citizens United. Pass campaign finance reform. Empower the PEOPLE.

President Trump is pursuing a policy of climate-change acceleration. His actions are fueling global warming—and may leave places in the United States uninhabitable by mid-century, Vann R. Newkirk II writes.

Electrification could now reach 75% of all energy demand, as the road-transport and heating sectors rapidly electrify 🔥🚗 These two sectors account for 50% of global energy use and are now ready to switch from fossil molecules to clean electrons. https://loom.ly/BwyhReA

We are going to live in a world where the the marginal cost of electricity is very close to zero

We constantly hear about landowners fighting against solar - but at some point - some folks are gonna realize, we only need 1% of all land to power the world. & If you don't act soon - you're gonna miss out on one of the greatest wealth generation opportunities of our lifetimes.

What if - instead of landowners fighting solar - they bonded together and developed one of the largest collections of solar and storage facilities on earth?

An update from the analysts at WoodMac: yes, as of 2025, solar PV remains the cheapest source of power in the world. And -- bonus! -- it is still getting cheaper with every passing day.

ICE's escalating violence and use of excessive force are wreaking havoc and making cities less safe. Armed, masked federal agents shouldn't be menacing our communities.

Where is the moral clarity among young republicans? Their hatred for women and people who are not in their small tribe is anti-American, anti-Christian, and morally repulsive. They should be shunned and ostracized by civil society for espousing such evil.

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers. The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.
