@schumer.senate.gov will you block the additional funding for ICE in the Senate? We need leadership.

@schumer.senate.gov This is very upsetting. Do you have access to any leaders in the Senate who could do something about it?

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

A great team doing some really cool work developing *actionable* research and tools to serve policymakers, advocates, and more.

Look all I'm saying is that the Mets offseason turned around once Zohran was sworn in

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Unreasonably excited for this.

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Democrat leaders looking for "creative ideas" to fight ICE, I've got a crazy one called "go outside to where the shit is actually happening."

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The Mets offseason feels like a fantasy draft gone bad.

!!!!

Excited to watch a team with six 2Bs next year!!!!

A fairly radicalizing moment the baseball part of my life.

I would appreciate it if, every time the Mets make a minor transaction today, they don't accompany it with a major graphic and text reading SIGNED! Read the room, guys. My heart can't take this for much longer.

The worker, identified as TJ Sabula in the Washington Post, said “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

The people of Minneapolis are hounding immigration agents wherever they pop up. Earlier today:

Also glad to see @sammyroth.bsky.social note that the most jaw-dropping climate denial at the fire events came not from any of the MAGA politicians but the (supposedly) Democratic councilmember who represents the Palisades. She's gotta go

Guess I’m gonna loop this for a while. ☹️

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Dave Mathews took time on his birthday today to speak out on ICE and the murder of Renee Nicole Good 🔥….HBD Dave! "Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. F*ck ICE"

So here’s the order of events: Renee Good: “I’m not mad at you.” *ICE officer shoots her in the face* ICE officer: “F**king b*tch” Trump: “It’s a miracle he’s alive” Vance: “She was a domestic terrorist.”

The world feels rough right now So please enjoy this shrimp, filmed off Cozumel, Mexico. It may be a larval reef shrimp, but we don’t know what species or how long it lives or what it eats. The world is still full of wonder and beauty and mystery. 🎥 @pedrovalenciam scuba diver on Insta

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

The future is arriving

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Hyundai is building a pilot iron production facility that runs on hydrogen in advance of constructing its much larger project in Louisiana. Fascinating. biz.chosun.com/en/en-indust...

Forcing this coal plant to stay open will cost local utility Tri-State $21 million in just 90 days - that gets passed directly to homeowners and businesses. "Our membership will bear the costs of compliance with this order" - Tri State CEO www.utilitydive.com/news/doe-col...

In celebration of Mamdani's first day in office, the map from our 2016 NYC atlas celebrating Queens as the most linguistically diverse place on earth. (800 languages spoken in NYC, according to NY's Endangered Language Institute, which collaborated with us on this map.

“As a not-for-profit cooperative, our membership will bear the costs of compliance with this order unless we can identify a method to share costs with those in the region." Trump is raising electricity bills for families to bail out a failing energy source. Corrupt and costly.

Everything is bad in the US right now but there are so many exciting clean energy developments happening abroad. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/c...

Webster’s 1873 dictionary warned us.

There is no point in even making a good faith response to the Trump Admin’s attack on offshore wind. He’s sacrificing our economy and raising all of our electric bills because he thinks they are ugly. Always for himself and never for the rest of us. 🔌💡 www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

the vice president is a klansman

Agricultural worker & former smelter employee Dalton Ezell is sounding the alarm on rising power costs. “The truth is, Missouri’s economy runs on the same current: whether you’re melting metal or tending crops, you need dependable electricity at a fair price.” missouriindependent.com/2025/12/13/h...

i do find it funny that yglesias brings up sheinbaum as some kind of gotcha here. like ok Matt do you want to talk about nationalizing the us fossil fuel industry under a socialist presidency?? many climate people would LOVE to chat about that

Bake off going on at @industriouslabs.bsky.social

Hey - here's a very detailed report we wrote with ACEEE and Sierra Club on industrial rates in California and how they could be reworked to make industrial electrification pencil out. This is the most exciting possible description I could come up with, but I promise this is really important.

This is so interesting. Juncos' beaks changed as they moved from forest to urban landscapes over a 20-year period. When the pandemic hit, their diet changed, and newly born junco beaks reverted. As restrictions lifted, the next generation's beaks reverted again.

"Let’s stop pretending tariffs will rebuild our economy. The people who power Missouri — on the factory floor and in the fields — know what we really need: investment in affordable, modern energy that lets us work hard, earn fair, and stay rooted right here at home."

Cato Hernandez at @LAist.com highlights a new map showing where SoCal’s largest industrial boilers are located — and why advocates want @southcoastqmd to adopt zero-emission rules before we lock in decades more pollution. Read it here: laist.com/news/climate...
