•What they got was fury

•Mass raids, mass detentions, and now, mass resistance

•The people aren’t bowing to fascism

If you know anyone in the National Guard, send this video to them.

They do not have to follow orders that will hurt their fellow countrymen. They can fight this legally.

Please remember, the National Guard takes the same pledge to our Constitution as the rest of our military.

Morale has always been a slippery, ever-morphing factor in climate action. But I hope in time this transforms us into something unstoppable.

Climate modelers have already factored in the impact of a Trump presidency & it's not pretty.
It's more important than ever not to give up.

I can only find a sliver of hope in knowing how shambolic and inept the worst people are when they're given the chance to rule.

emissions have roughly followed the trajectory of the 'clinton win' scenario rather than the 'trump win' scenario

Decided to go back in time and check out my tweets in the aftermath of Trump's 2016 win.

Found this projection of Trump's effect on US CO2 emissions, so I plugged in actuals up to 2023.

Don't think the projection was 'wrong' so much as people worked bloody hard to make it wrong.

YouTube video by Charlie Angus Charlie Angus on State of Democracy In a Beavis/Butthead Parliament

If you watch something today please take time to watch my thoughts on the crisis facing Canadian democracy.
We are in deeply uncertain times and parliament is failing to step up beyond dumbed down partisanship.
Democracy is not meeting the crisis of the time.

4 people on bikes riding in a contraflow lane with a driver in a white car about to cross it making a left.

4 people on bikes riding in a contraflow lane with a driver in a white car about to cross it making a left.

Years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV.
Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure.

We could not agree more. #DougFord deserves to be voted out. The multiple crises we face require urgent action, not a business as usual approach.
Urge NDP Liberal and Green, set partisan interests aside #CooperateToWin

Last night we turned Bloor Street into an equivalent highway 401 for bicycles, because the government passed overreaching legislation to remove protected bicycle lanes in Toronto, and further restrict their installation everywhere in the province. #BikeTO #ONpoli

First, let’s work together to defeat Ford and the PC’s to put an end to the damage they are doing. A new voting system will not happen under a PC government.
Splitting the vote between the centre left parties enables PC’s to win seats.
We can argue later.
