We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by. Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG: “I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.” The ad aged. The internet remembers.

The world is going to blow past the 1.5 C goal of the Paris Accords. Even limiting global warming to 2 C will be very hard. But we might still be able to pull it off if we change tactics, and focus more attention on climate “Emergency Brakes”. globalecoguy.org/hitting-the-...

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to elect the dumbest, greediest, vindictive person in the world as President.

For some reason I absolutely love mountain climbing documentaries. Just watched Meru and that was amazing!

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Three facts: - Methane has caused ~30% of the warming we have seen so far. - Curbing methane emissions is also one of the fastest ways to bend the curve on future warming. It’s a “emergency brake”. - And the food system emits over half of global methane emissions. drawdown.org/insights/we-...

If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch. Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim – a tactic Trump has used on women for decades. Disgusting.

There are a hundred more important things to say, and I tried to say some of them in my essay for "Thinking About...", but: invading a country for oil is also just atavistic at this point. Even if it worked, which it won’t, it still wouldn’t work.

Hyundai/Kia keeps elevating their game. I’ve owned an EV6 for over 3 years and it’s totally worth the hype.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

We get it: you're curious about EVs, but worried you'll run out of range and get stuck somewhere. Here's why actual owners don't worry. insideevs.com/news/782565/...

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Wow. As a Christian I found this profoundly beautiful and life-giving. Was not expecting the tears to well up so much. As a Pennsylvanian, I’m cheering on Mamdani and all that he represents. His genuine kind-heartedness and love is at the core of all major religions.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

The real breakthrough of the year isn’t AI. It’s the explosive growth of renewable energy.

America is solidly in the post-facts and post-science era. There is no other explanation for the regression we’re observing.

Well done Jack 🫡

The amount of people commenting how they “are beginning to realize” the utter depravity of 47 is blowing my mind. Where have you been the last 10 years?! 😤

As decent human beings, we care a lot when basic safety nets are being removed from already vulnerable populations. When we all chip in, we help to ease burdens by those already facing often insurmountable odds. The callousness and cruelty modeled by our “Christian” leaders is simply inexcusable.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Umm… not a flex. These are seriously unhealthy and delusional people.

Do yourself a favor and stop listening to billionaires explain why universal healthcare can’t happen here. Stop listening to billionaires altogether while you’re at it. They have lost their humanity in favor of amassing more power and wealth. So many suffer needlessly.

Not all climate solutions are created equal. So how do we know what actually works? In our latest Insights, Sr. Scientist Tina Swanson explains how Project Drawdown evaluates solutions — starting with a hypothesis and testing each one against a rigorous seven-part framework.👇 https://bit.ly/4plqDyS

Wake up America.

Independent agencies were designed by Congress to ensure those charged with safeguarding public interests would serve the public good, not the president’s political needs. Today the Supreme Court will hear arguments that could, as NPR describes it, “end the independence of independent agencies.” 1/

Gas cars have already peaked. Here’s how EVs are unseating them around the world.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

After Trump's crypto company made a $2 billion deal with Binance, he gave Binance's billionaire founder the pardon he paid for and the company promoted Trump's crypto a week later. Trump needs to be held accountable for his crypto corruption and bribe-for-pardon scheme.

This is the way

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city. Tomorrow, we win it together.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

How to answer a loaded question. (This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Authoritarianism comes fast, Governor J. B. Pritzker told @markleibovich.bsky.social. “And if you’re not willing to stand up and push back while it’s happening in the early days,” Pritzker added, “it gets a lot harder later.”

America is trying really hard right now to tempt a lot of good people to become expatriates. Apparently we are powerless to stop a madman. Checks and balances was a nice theory.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.
