Yep, you heard that right... Republican lawmakers are complaining that Canada is ruining their summer. Instead of blaming arson and poor forest management, let's address the elephant in the room: the FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY. Let's hold them accountable >> act.gp/4lZqEGQ

Canadian centrist elites still downplay the risks of Trump taking over Canada. I am taking it extremely seriously, though I have no fucking clue what to do about it. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/391c82b...

Left: "Ministers resist calls to block Musk donations to Farage’s Reform UK" Right: That time in 2019 when @carolecadwalla.bsky.social called out misinformation which influenced Brexit and took the UK out of the EU by a slim of margin Is Labour's inaction damaging the integrity of our democracy?
How can anyone support the AfD?! Yet Musk and Vance do. Repulsive.

Christiya Freeland was probably a nice person but was no friend to the issues I care most about. She was an active blocker on many important progressive priorities especially on climate and climate finance, and basically anything that tried to limit corporate power.
Corporate greed has ruined our society our lives and our planet. But sure, let’s get rid of the guardians protecting us from the worst gouging. That’ll surely help.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2y agoOh hell yes, let's absolutely get rid of the FDIC. Would love to have re learn all the lessons of the New Deal again. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...
Good ideas here on how clean energy can & must get cleaner. Also, helpful context: the envt'l impacts of retired solar panels "will be dwarfed by the amount of plastic, coal ash and municipal waste generated per year if there isn't a major push to decarbonize." www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Hot tip to all climate communicators: never, EVER, talk about MT of emissions. I’ve been working on climate for 15 years and I still barely know what 1 or 50 megatonnes of GHG means. Keep the data to reports, when communicating with the public plz always use social math to show scale.

For an embodiment of the word singlehanded you might turn to the heroine of the recent movie Woman at War. It’s about an Icelandic eco-saboteur who blows up rural power lines and hides in scenic sp…

For a new generation of Democrats to step up, more of the older generation of Dems will have to step aside — and I think we need to be more aggressive about forcing that convo earlier moving forward.
