This puts China on track to a major new record for clean power generation added in a year. Year-end capacity additions will do little to affect emissions this year, but will strongly influence emissions next year, especially as new capacity additions are expected to be slower.

Americans Stood Up and Stood Strong for Their Immigrant Neighbors In 2025
Americans refused to give in to the Trump administration’s hate and stepped up to defend immigrant community members. Let’s carry that energy into the new year.

As Hannah Arendt put it: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." Undermining that distinction will be a lasting legacy of generative AI.

Sinatra hated racists and would have punched Miller in the mouth.
Or as Phil Hartman's impression of Sinatra put it, "I got chunks of guys like you in my stool."

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

My straight friend - a CrossFit coach who can deadlift, like, 10,000 lbs - adores dachshunds. Not only does he adore them, he always adopts senior and special needs dachshunds, who he then pushes around in strollers when they're no longer able to walk. He can crush your head with one hand.

It's not just them. There's something very 2025 about people taking pieces of media and twisting them to fit their worldview.
Yup.

Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.
Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.
Words:
Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

It’s day 25 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities.
The surge continues. Neighbors were kidnapped today outside grocery stores and going about their regular errands.
We continue to see heavy ICE activity throughout the metro area. Stay alert - we know many kidnappings happen very fast.

Whatever will we do if billionaires start trying to figure out ways to avoid paying taxes, we should definitely not anger them so that they will continue their long track record of willingly paying their fair share
