“We are on the cusp of a new era. Fossil fuels are running out of road. The sun is rising on a clean energy age.”
António Guterres is urging governments to shift energy plans and subsidies toward clean energy, as a new report shows 90% of renewable projects are now cheaper than fossil fuels.

Residents from communities on the Port au Port Peninsula, joined by other protesters, gathered outside the St. John’s Convention Centre last week to oppose a proposed wind farm and mega wind-to-hydrogen project planned for Newfoundland’s west coast. #nlpoli

Must-read piece on "End Times Schooling" by @jessehagopian.bsky.social who has done so much to unleash the liberatory power of education.
A pale teal background has 3 equal sized circles on it, they overlap in the centre, creating a Venn diagram. In each circle in turn the following words are found: What brings you joy? Sources of satisfaction and delight What are you good at? Your skills, resources, and networks What work needs doing? Climate and justice solutions The centre says: Your climate action!
Creating a Climate Venn, as per Dr Johnson’s TED talk, is one of the best things I’ve done to lessen worry about #ClimateChange

Mohamad Alzaqzooq, an extraordinary author in Gaza who has published widely, including in the @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social, urgently needs to evacuate with his family.
The costs are steep but he is close to covering them. Please help if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/from-war-t...
Critical read - make sure to vote on Monday if you haven't already!
The biggest wins Canadians are proud of – like dental care, birth control, and safer workplaces – – only happened because people voted NDP.
We’ve done more with a few seats than others have with a majority.
Your vote gets results. We’ve proven it.
International students are being hunted on their campuses. For raising their voices for justice. This is pure evil.

In a targeted attack on his car, Israel has killed Al-Jazeera's
Hossam Shabat, who was only 23 years old and was one of the last remaining journalists in Gaza.
There are no words.
Quite shamelessly too... Pierre Poilievre wants to bring Trump’s toxic brand of politics to Canada.
This #elxn45 we need to #RaiseTheBar.
www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Two screenshots of headlines: 1. Conservatives won't allow reporters to travel with Poilievre during upcoming election. No recent precedent for a major party barring journalists from accompanying federal campaign 2. Outcry as White House starts dictating which journalists can access Trump. Fox News correspondent among those to decry move that journalists say will ‘tear at independence of a free press’ Below them a red block of text reads: Any resemblance is purely coincidental... Or is it?
This move to ban the press from travelling with him during the election follows in the footsteps of Trump. Just like Trump spreads misinformation and attacks journalists, Poilievre has also said he plans to defund the CBC.
The Conservatives will tear Canada down—we cannot let them. #RaiseTheBar
Ooh what’s the book?
Urgent action needed Israel has ended the ceasefire deal and is bombing Gaza again. Over 400 killed At least 174 are children Over 500 injured This is genocide. PRIME MINISTER CARNEY, MINISTER JOLY, AND MPS: End Canada’s complicity. Implement an immediate two-way arms embargo against Israel. Send a message
URGENT: Israel has ended the ceasefire deal killing over 400 Palestinians, including children. This comes after they shut down electricity and blocked food from entering Gaza.
Send a message to @mark-carney.bsky.social & MPs demanding an #ArmsEmbargo now: leadnow.ca/campaigns/ca... #FreePalestine
Mahmoud Khalil finally gets the chance to speak for himself: “My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night.”
Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./
Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
"A lot of trans people felt a deep sense of ironic deja-vu watching the controversy play out," writes Rhea Rollmann.
"Responsible journalism helps us understand each other’s identities and what they mean to us."

Hi Canadians! Here’s a petition to keep Trump from entering Canada while he continues to threaten our sovereignty. It will be presented in Parliament by Charlie Angus in March.

Relatable, lol
People across the world will have to move due to climate change. Rich countries and big polluters must commit to ambitious climate action, including stopping fossil fuels, and pay up to support affected communities so that people can stay if they want to.
Devastating
Loved this so much!!

Heading reads: Trump's America is unsafe Then there is a photo of a rainbow Pride flag with the Canadian maple leaf in the centre. A standard Canadian maple leaf flag is also partly visible in the foreground.

Canada has a long history of global leadership on LGBTQI+ issues, inclusive of supporting queer and trans people fleeing contexts of criminalization and violence. As America pulls back its support, Canada has a moral obligation to step up. Sign our petition now: www.momentumcanada.net/pathways
