I’m seriously confused by Trump’s Great American State Fair. What exactly is the “great” part? America turns 250, and instead of celebrating our diverse history, liberty, and democracy, we get political merch, a grievance tour, and Nazis marching through the capital. Hell of a birthday party 🤡

What makes this model so exciting is that it isn't climate activism for the sake of climate activism. It solves real-world problems. Lower transportation costs. Less dependence on imported oil. Cleaner air. More local manufacturing. More jobs. 3/4

African EV firm Spiro raises $215 million for electric mobility expansion

African electric mobility company Spiro has raised $215 million in equity financing to expand its battery-swapping and electric vehicle infrastructure across seven African markets.

This is amazing! Everyone talks about the future of transportation as if it will be invented in Silicon Valley, China, or Europe. But Africa may end up leading the next mobility revolution. REMEMBER THIS NAME: “Spiro” isn’t just selling electric motorcycles. 🧵

I had the opportunity to interview Xavier Becerra. I appreciate that he’s not blowing smoke up our ass when it comes to single-payer healthcare. He understands the political & financial hurdles, but also made clear he’s committed to doing the work to move California closer to making it a reality.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what’s going on in the south right now with voting rights and erasure, is a “kitchen table issue” — for Black families. And it should be for everyone.

The Pope isn’t waiting on an apology from Trump. It would’ve been the decent thing to do, but that’s not who he is. Pope Leo has already forgiven him, because that’s the actual teaching. “Be kind… forgiving one another.” — Ephesians 4:32

“Politico reports the allegations of inappropriate behavior have come from multiple left-leaning influencers and other social media accounts without evidence.” That statement is a fact. There hasn’t been any evidence revealed at this time. Just hearsay rumors.

Let me be clear. I don’t support AIPAC. Quite the opposite. But I also have major issues with Track AIPAC. It’s a shady project.   Track AIPAC isn’t a neutral watchdog. It’s a political operation with its own PAC and a very clear agenda. 🧵

“PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND… THE WORLD” - Donald Trump Is it just me, or is this a whole lot of victory-lap energy and glee a little too early in the game when people are dying? It gives me George W. Bush “mission accomplished” vibes. 🤔

This is big news! SB 6239 appears to be dead. Credit to Washington House Dems for hearing loud and clear that balancing the budget on the backs of survivors wasn’t acceptable. @housedemocrats.wa.gov And shout out to everyone who pushed this into the spotlight. This is what people power looks like.

Washington state has a loophole problem, and predators know it‼️ Current teacher sexual misconduct laws make it too easy for accused educators to quietly resign, move districts, and start fresh. Cases disappear into paperwork instead of real accountability. Kind of like bad cops.
