Tucker Carlson: I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We’re implicated in this. I misled people.

Al Gore:

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

Cory Doctorow is @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy

“The advantages of an ebike commute over a car commute are legion, but my favorite little pleasure is the ability to easily make a stop at a nice coffee shop halfway between home and work, rather than being stuck buying shitty chain coffee near the office.”

Thank you @corydoctorow for these great words:

“Ebikes are insanely great technology. Cheap, rugged and reliable, they're basically bicycles that abolish hills. Once you've gotten accustomed to an ebike – maybe you've invested in a folding helmet and a raincoat – you'll never go back. 1/2

Few people have missed the boat on the climate transition as badly as US automakers. Every move they've made has been wrong, and now they're doomed. We should study the brains of their CEOs, for posterity.

Please give us viable and safe alternatives to driving, we will use them. The congestion is so bad and getting worse because of government policy decisions. One more lane makes traffic worse because of induced demand.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

How about the washing of the stove top? Ie a three second wipe down. That beats the pace of boiling water for me as #1 feature

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious conflict of interest.

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal.

Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government.

Let's look at the data.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

Not the overarching message she's trying to get across here, but @aoc.bsky.social, welcome to The War on Cars.

Another great turn of phrase from @billmckibben.bsky.social “we want energy from heaven, not from hell”

“Sun travels 93 million miles to get to us, and none of those miles are through the Strait of Hormuz” @billmckibben.bsky.social #TED in Vancouver

blanket pardons for everyone “within 200 feet of the oval office” like crimes against humanity has a splash zone. first three rows WILL get wet (with the blood of innocents)

Truth: if USDOT and states were honest about safety being number one, we would do everything possible to get people out of cars and into transit, walking, biking.

Death of Vietnamese immigrant in Indiana facility is latest ICE detainee fatality A Vietnamese immigrant died in ICE custody last week, according to officials, marking the 46th detainee death during the

Tuan Van Bui is the 46th person to die in federal custody under the Trump regime — an all-time high.

Around 70,000 people are still in ICE detention, a majority of whom have no criminal convictions.

Never forget the cruelty Trump continues to inflict at home.

He can be the one to organize this public education campaign.

WHAT WE KNOW, 11pm:

—Liberals flip seat on Wisconsin supreme court.
—Also flip important school board seats in WI, OK, MO.
—Dems win Waukesha mayor race.
—GOP defends MTG's seat, but Dems way overperform.
—Big MO county rejects property tax freeze.

It was not that long ago when conservatives had a chokehold on every branch of Wisconsin government, piles of Koch and Uline money, and seemed unstoppable. People worked FUCKING HARD to change that shit and now look at em. Change is always possible and never ever easy.

If only we were a rich country like Morocco…

2024 GDP
Morocco: $160.6 billion
Illinois: $1.148 trillion

BREAKING: Democrat Alicia Halvensleben has defeated Republican Scott Allen in the Waukesha, Wisconsin mayoral race, flipping the seat.

This marks a major political shift in one of the most historically conservative suburbs in the Milwaukee area and follows a night of major shifts away from the GOP.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

I am ecstatic. All three of the Moms for Liberty backed candidates lost in my local school board election tonight. Even this deep red Waukesha County, WI community doesn't like conservative politics in our schools. 🇺🇸🏫🗳

I adore and have long supported this headline: “forget EVs, cycling is revolutionizing transport”

Great job @theeconomicmisfit.bsky.social
