The conventional wisdom is the Democrats' big climate law failed to deliver votes and then died. That's wrong. My new study finds its factories moved 2.5 million votes—more than Trump's margin. And the law's still alive. My latest in @theatlantic.com. Gift link! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think

Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

A new deal on balcony solar just dropped in the US

Plug-in panels can lower your bills. To boost the American market for the tech, nonprofit Bright Saver is selling kits with no markup, starting at around…

You won't regret clicking on this beautifully told story by @lsommer.bsky.social about the Pacific Ocean and how the Trump regime is opening some marine monuments to commercial fishing.

These are some of the last pristine ocean ecosystems. Now, they're losing protections

The largest conservation areas in the U.S. are in the Pacific Ocean, where tiny islands are epicenters of biodiversity. The Trump administration is now opening their waters to commercial fishing, spar...

Good morning as I write about sacrifice here on the Eastern shores of Canada. "The pool therefore appears to have functioned as a formal place of deposition and possibly sacrifice, linked to the hillfort by a purpose built processional route."

Shared for #HillfortsWednesday Dated to c.1200 BC, Haugheys Fort is a substantial hillfort on a ridge in County Armagh, Ireland. The site formed the core of an extensive complex that combined settlement, specialised craft work & formal ritual activity.

Not sure why this isn’t the dominant topic of national conversation rn: “Drought and extreme heat are killing plants, driving up prices while also making some farms economically unviable” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘It’s too fast, too big’: speed of climate crisis is devastating crops, say farmers

During the many elections I've voted in over past decade, I haven't seen the #ClimateCrisis take precedence if mentioned at all. Maybe political leaders only consider what they can do/promise short-term, but that needs to change. We need more visionary candidates. If you vote this year, #VoteEarth.

Belatedly sharing an article I first read in 2018 for Emancipation Day (August 1). Written by Gerald Horne and entitled "The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism." Worth the long read and hugely informative, especially for white settlers like me. monthlyreview.org/articles/the...

"Solar panels produced 51% of California’s electricity in May, the first time the clean energy source surpassed the halfway mark for an entire month." The globe’s first major economy to cross the 50% threshold: www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... via @ember-energy.org and @danmccarthy.bsky.social 🔌💡

California was mostly solar-powered in May — a global first

No major economy had previously received over half its electricity from solar across an entire month. Thank the mild, sunny spring weather, and batteries.

As I #AmWriting about #death, death ritual, and preservation, I'm researching thanatology and visited the Research in Experimental and Social Thanatology ('RESTES' facility) at UQTR, Canada's only 'body farm' to interview a PhD student there. We chatted about mass graves, burial. Lest folks forget.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...
