Here are some facts: *Trump is cancelling clean energy projects *Trump is cancelling battery manufacturing investments *Fossil fuels can't compete economically on a fair playing field with renewables + batteries *Trump took almost $1b from the fossil industry in 2024 www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

Trendsetters 💅💁🏻‍♀️ (From March)

Trump invented a fake energy crisis. Now he’s causing a real one. [🎁 link] www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/o...

I guess that makes sense if Pete is going to make bullying great again, it makes sense that he would use this ridiculous display to throw his weight around.

Yikes, Jentleson.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

I refrained from telling the guy sitting behind me thanks for the two-hour lumbar massage. Please congratulate me on my restraint.

Me, most days: Breakfast? Nah, I’ll stick to coffee. Me, when traveling: Yes I will have breakfast and second breakfast, and also yes I had two dinners last night.

We could have cool stuff like this. Instead we have men in masks breaking car windows and stopping people from fighting fires.

Hear fucking hear

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

AYFKM??!!! Just when I think she can’t sink any lower.

Pritzker is the bold, take-no-prisoners leader Gavin Newsom thinks he is.

Here is the update I promised. Google is just a fundamentally evil company stealing people's work so they can use it to steal their traffic. www.splinter.com/a-melancholy...

🙃🙃🙃 “Murder is illegal in California, but since the federal government said there’s no federal law against murder, California can only charge people born in California with murder. People from other states, Canada, and Mexico cannot be charged with any murders they commit in California.”

I really wish we had someone less smarmy than Gavin Newsom going this hard after Trump. But maybe only someone who is as self-interested as Newsom is willing to stoop that low.

I cannot express how much I loathe the proliferation of AI in everything. Every time some customer service line promises improved service thanks to AI, it inevitably fails to solve my request and I have to speak to a human anyway, just after multiple rounds of frustrating menus or chats.

Super glad mayor bowser worked so hard to appease Trump these past months it definitely worked no notes.

NC waits for millions in *already approved* FEMA funds to pay for Hurricane Helene cleanup almost a year later. Meanwhile, FEMA pours cash into concentration camps where kidnapped people await trafficking, and shifting emergency responders to ICE. Sickening. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

My energy usage from this July to last July went down 35%. My bill went up 55%. Fuck you very much, Pepco, I can’t wait for my solar panels to be installed!!!

Here’s a question for reporters: how will the executive branch “wind down” tax credits that are still in the law? Perhaps, unlegally?

The How To Train Your Dragon “live action” remake is so incredibly unnecessary and I don’t plan to see it, but it did inspire me to rewatch the original trilogy, which I own and adore. All three films are wonderful, but the first is just a perfect movie. #httyd

I’m appalled at how quickly we’ve gone back to lauding Gavin Newsom. Sure, he’s saying and doing (sorta) the right things in response to Trump’s fascist military invasion of LA, but let’s not forget Newsom is an opportunist’s opportunist.

Wonderful, persistent journalism. Bravo to @popular.info for helping secure this important victory. popular.info/p/update-rep...

The cult of government “efficiency” in action. People will literally die. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

Propaganda, pure and simple. But also clear as day they know they can't win if kids learn even the basics about history, recent or otherwise. popular.info/p/new-oklaho...

In case the were any doubt, the only economically sane path is to ditch fossil fuels and cut emissions as quickly as possible. bsky.app/profile/davi...

I will never forgive @schumer.senate.gov for not passing the PRESS Act when he had the chance. #1A #pressfreedom www.rcfp.org/doj-announce...

This is one of those “every Republican action is a confession“ moments (Targeting the Dem-aligned donation platform ActBlue over alleged foreign donations) www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

when the history of this time is written, it will be fascinating to understand why sources of the US’ soft power were the first to go. Sure, Trump’s in the pocket of our enemies, like Putin and Xi, but it’s just as much that Elon Musk is the product of the losing side of South African apartheid.

Girlfriend can’t even secure her purse. The Homeland is beyond her skill set.

I opened a RothIRA just over a year ago. The investments are reasonably balanced between risky and safe. On election day it was up ~10%. Since March, I’ve lost all those gains, and gone negative. I’m not retiring for 25 years at least. Can’t imagine how those who are closer are feeling. 🥵

Not space, not a space flight.

#ClimateChange is not an #AprilFools joke, but the Trump administration is treating it that way ‼️🌎

They’re doing this because they know oil and gas can’t compete with wind and solar. Full stop. www.canarymedia.com/articles/ene...

For all of you media folks who keep calling and asking me why there is no Resistance2.0–also, definitely give Erica and @djpressman.bsky.social a follow! FYI @amywestervelt.bsky.social

People think being small will keep them safe. It won't. The reason we know who Mahmoud Kahlil is is because he was loud. Do you think he's the only person the administration has tried to disappear? He's just one of the first we've noticed

On Tuesday I edited a story about the FTC firings. Readers took issue with our framing — not just us, but other publications as well. And you know what? Y'all were right. www.theverge.com/policy/63339...

There is no deeply-held principle these people won’t abandon. www.eenews.net/articles/rfk...

This RULES

I did mag story *in 1980s* about how Pentagon's long-term planning depts were emphasizing climate issues. (1) For future zones of conflict, w drought and famine, and (2) for US bases in VA (Hampton Roads), SC, and FL that could be washed out by rising seas. Now... www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

People who want oil and gas prices to go up are upset that steel and aluminum prices are going up. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Her job would be a lot easier if Dems stopped shying away from a fight. They might be surprised to learn that doing the right thing is popular. Guess we’ll never know.

@schumer.senate.gov has memory-holed the entire last decade of the Republican Party apparently.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Your message is useless if you don’t do a damn thing to back it up when it actually matters.
