This hypocrisy is shameful.

- U.S. politicians enjoy universal healthcare.
- Living wages.
- Paid sick leave, too.

But they vote NO for workers on all three.

Vote OUT anti-worker politicians (Dems & GOP). Vote in public servants committed to justice above all else

Good morning with good news: Vietnam's 2025 energy plan increases solar capacity to 73 GW by 2030 from ~16 GW operating in 2024.

Wind grows to ~38 GW by 2030.

S&W were ~13% of electricity in 2024

Coal falls to 17% by 2030 from 50% in 2024!

Wow!

Breaking News!
Code Yikes!

November kept on going where October left off, once again reaching an average anomaly of 1.55°C over the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, making November the third warmest since records began, and likely the third warmest in the last 120,000 years.

Trump keeps telling his MAGA supporters that he’s NOT doing this for himself.

$Billions in his pockets and tons of parties ($1 million per person to attend) say otherwise.

He’s been a corrupt lying bully and businessman his entire life.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.

Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

I ran a little poll over on X/Twitter. And just as I suspected, over 10% of X/Twitter users who are climate deniers, idiots or disinformation trolls are, in fact, lobotomized hamsters.

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

It has taken this country almost 250 years to be $37 trillion in debt! One man alone responsible for 1/3 of 250 years worth of debt! At the same time making the majority of the country poorer, and him and his family raking in billions!

Irony: Many of America’s greatest conservationists were Republicans:
• John Lacey (Lacey Act, 1900)
• Theodore Roosevelt (National Parks, Forests, & Wildlife Refuges)
• Richard Nixon (Endangered Species Act, 1973)

Modern Republicans are busy dismantling their own legacy.

Photo of the decade?

This stunning and rare photograph shows a female polar bear standing on the massive carcass of a male sperm whale that had become trapped in Arctic ice.

The image was captured by wildlife photographer Roie Galitz
