Over the decade ending in 2019, global SUV ownership doubled. “If it keeps growing at its current rate, increased SUV ownership will offset the entire emissions reduction from electric vehicles.” Plus they’re much more likely than smaller cars to kill pedestrians. www.fastcompany.com/90420280/sho...
All this. I don’t care if some people find flying out of downtown easier. We need to stop letting these people run Toronto like it’s the place people have to be when they’re not at the cottage. We live here, we like it. Park not planes, @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social
During the Vietnam War ,Canada welcomed some 55,000 young American draft dodgers to our country . They’ve built their lives here , and improved ours at
the same time. No one likes to leave the land where they were born. But it might be time to start planning.
BlueSky really needs to add a response button that is the opposite of the heart .A button that means “ I’m disgusted”.
He can just use state power to make bad things worse, blame others, and demand that we don’t hold elections. That’s it, that’s the whole plot; and if we don’t see it that’s on us. (3/3)
It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.
Can’t !
But here in Ontario we are doubling down on nuclear ! 🤦🏻♀️

Solar exploded across Africa in 2025:
apnews.com/article/sola...
California's main grid has produced more electricity from solar (110 GWh/d) than fossil gas (106 GWh/d) during the first 45 days of 2025
And it's WINTER
Gas is down 39% vs '25 & 55% vs '23
WWS has met >100% of demand for parts of 25 out of 45 days in '25 (vs 17/45 days in '24)
The deportation industrial complex is very profitable, which is why the fight to ABOLISH ICE is going to require sustained effort.
We are now over a month since the deadline has passed to release the Epstein files, and considering what has happened in that month...
Whatever was in those files must be REALLY bad.
Beautifully written!
Such an inspiring sight ! Bravo to the people of Minneapolis .
“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”
What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
... of picture, they say (same as India's stand), but it's going to be significantly less than their green capacity.
This and a lot of cool details about how robots are cleaning solar panels and wind turbines are erected in marshy land here in this dispatch.

NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.
Cynicism when a fight is still needed isn’t commendable. Assuming failure is easy.
Determination and resolve in the hardest moments when things look bleak is fucking impressive.
I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
Absolutely insane that my life has become texting with local church pastors to try and find a safe place to hold an emergency meeting for parents at my kid’s’ preschool to figure out how to respond to the federal government kidnapping neighbors.
Excellent point!
Tr🤡mp is trying to Distract You from The Epstein Files
"And Now, a Message from
the SANE people of the World..."
When I did my Masters in Carbon Strategy at UEA, I was told that Carbon Capture is all smoke and mirrors. It can be done but the energy consumed produces more carbon than it captures.
Only when we have >100% green energy will it be an option.
It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.
