As we approach the end of the year, I look at the state of EV sales for @climateconnections.bsky.social. They're a “highly recommended” climate solution by @projectdrawdown.bsky.social. Sales and policies in the USA are stagnating, but they're surging across much of the rest of the world. 🧵 [1/8]

EVs made up 25% of global car sales in 2025. In the U.S., they only made up 10%.

It's great that the media, Congress is going all Watergate on one of Trump's many crimes, the 'double-tap' murder of 2 Caribbean sailors
But the reality is that Trump's death cult has killed hundreds of thousands, mostly through senseless USAID cuts

And right now the Trump admin is killing fiber broadband investment and handing Elon Musk billions to provide the mediocre overpriced Starlink service people can already get, and which they'll still have to pay for.

The world's wealthy liberal democracies looked the other way on FIFA's corruption for years because they didn't think corruption in sports was a big deal or worth addressing, and now find themselves looking at FIFA as a powerful, increasingly-integrated part of the far-right anti-democracy movement.

I'm wondering about the extent of buyer's remorse among the (mostly male) members of minority groups who voted for Mango and whose votes supposedly signaled a realignment. Do they like the shitshow?
Health care costs are skyrocketing, grocery prices continue to increase and electricity costs are surging.
What is the Trump Administration focused on?
Reducing free entrance days to our national parks, denigrating African Americans, and engaging in cult-like dear leader shit.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Everyone should get updated on all their vaccines before the lunatics in charge do away with them. "When vaccines are outlawed, only outlaws will have vaccines."
it seems like the new line is that the only way to practice ethical medicine is to be at least anti-vax curious if not full on anti-vax
Malone is suggesting that there is not informed consent when the CDC has a universal vaccine recommendation. That is not true.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.
