I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone β€œhated America.”

I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.

Momentum is growing for a Youth Climate Corps, a bold new public program to put young people to work protecting our communities & tackling the climate crisis.

It's built for this moment.

Tell Carney: it’s time to fund a Youth Climate Corps!

[Episode #259] – 10th Anniversary: New Marching Orders | The Energy Transition Show For our 10th anniversary, we reflect on what the past decade of our work has been about and consider what the next ten years might require.

Honored and excited to be on the 10th anniversary podcast of the Energy Transition Show with @chrisnelder.bsky.social to talk electrotech with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.

By far my favorite podcast I've done!

Pope Leo rebukes climate skeptics after Trump calls warming a β€˜con job’ The Illinois native’s comments come a week after the U.S. president derided the fight against climate change.

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

🧡 Who's the most informed about American politics? Very lefty seculars.

My new FREE study @sfjournal.bsky.social finds atheists/agnostics, especially if they are politically sorted, score higher on knowledge of basic civics & current politics than other groups. 1/ academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

The only thing slicker than an oil spill is the PR team behind the brand, which is why we’ve teamed up with comedian SeΓ‘n Burke to highlight how disinformation often starts.

Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health

This is powerful.

Nine former CDC leaders just came together to defend SCIENCE.

Maybe it’s time we LISTEN TO THEMβ€”
not the loud voices spreading MISINFORMATION.

Science saves lives. Lies cost them

Remembering Jack Layton.
Jack talked me into running for politics. He said Canada needed people who were not afraid to stand up.
I believed him. I still do.
Jack loved this country. He believed in the goodness of the Canadian people.
I try to carry that light with me.
Jack is with the angels.
