The brave people of the United States are holding massive protests nationwide against the Trump regime, despite threats from the regime and its cult MAGA followers. The people have declared enough is enough, restore democracy, justice, and remove Trump. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

DEMOCRACY IN ACTION! From the streets of Budapest to the squares of Belgrade to the ballot boxes of Brazil, ordinary people are showing the world what happens when citizens refuse to surrender their future to corrupt, power-hungry, oligarchical strongmen. #DonaldTrump #corruption #Republicans

Absolutely FABULOUS news for all life on Earth, especially the Amazon rainforest!!!! Despite the fascists playing every dirty, cheating trick in the book to steal this election, the people of Brazil saw through the lies. So, so, happy and relieved this morning 🇧🇷 👏 share.google/UdpzcSkD5us7...

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it. Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels. Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%. Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%. That's why we don't need to replace fossil energy one for one.

Yet another reminder about bike lanes — If you build it, they’ll come.

Melissa & Chris Bruntlett@modacitylife.com

Since 2016, London’s cycling network has grown fivefold, from 90 to 450 kilometres. The results? 1.5 million daily cycle journeys—a 43% increase since 2019—twice as many bikes as cars on City of London streets during the day, and motor traffic in steady decline—having fallen 25% in the same period.

#LazyLandlords are STILL damaging the ability for #FirstTimeBuyers to afford a home to start families! We need to build sustainable/affordable communities to support the top heavy aging populations, which is becoming a critical issue for many countries!

One of the more interesting stories we’ve uncovered! Thanks to @dublininquirer.com for picking this up!

The sealed-in battery era is ending. Europe is pushing phone makers to make batteries easier to replace and built to last longer. Starting in 2027, mobile phones sold in the EU will generally need #batteries that consumers can remove and replace more easily #circulareconomy #ActOnClimate #Smartphone

What do we want? Climate action! - End all fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy instead. - Restore nature! - Reward solidarity, not greed. #FridaysForFuture

Drilling for new oil and gas won't cut household bills. The best way to save people money and create secure, well-paid, unionised jobs in the North East is by investing in renewables. #bbcdn

Today was the latest-ever 90-degree day in Minneapolis.

Don Sutherland@donsutherland1.bsky.social

#Minneapolis-St. Paul reached 90F (32.2C) today. That is the latest occurrence of a 90F (32.2C) or above temperature on record. That reading smashes the previous October 11 daily mark of 85F (29.4C) from 2015. Records go back to 1872. #mnwx

After days of extreme rain about 9x the usual October total muddy floods sent cars surging through Las Condes, Santiago. At least 6 people were injured, 1,000+ fled their homes, and a state of emergency was declared. . #Santiago #LasCondes #Chile #Flooding #HeavyRain #ExtremeWeather #Snnfinland

Delighted that Navi Pillay, chair of the UN commission which found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Let Trump and Netanyahu splutter and fume: the truth becomes ever harder to deny.

All decent leaders need to stand up together and close down this era of geriatric #WarCriminals! Uphold the #ICC arrest warrants! Move forward from #OilFuelsWar to the #EnergySecurity of #Renewables!
