Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Dinner after Day 1 of hidden hardship hui

Amazing kai (food) by local Māori small business

Well, I just finished running an incredible 2-day hui (workshop) on hidden energy hardship in Aotearoa NZ with my Swedish and U.S. national experts & almost 90 amazing humans from every corner of our #energy sector: government, local govt, industry, research & the most important community sector! 🙌

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

In like 66 months Israeli conduct in war and its partisan origins have completely shredded democratic support for Isarel such that I don't think its possible to win a Democratic primary anywhere in the country reflexively supporting Israel

Weekend Update #181; Germany Raises The Pot For Ukraine The USA Boasts, Bluffs And Then Folds; More On Ukraine Fighting Humans With Machines

"The Europeans are coming to understand two rather different things. The first is that the fate of Ukraine is crucial to their own fate. And second, more European states are seeing Ukraine as a new center of gravity for European defense and security." open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

European contracts with Palantir should be broken and those who do business with them banned.
NOW.

Straight up milking the market

A groundbreaking expedition off Chile has filmed the elusive Type D orcas for the first time, revealing their unique features and confirming a potential new species.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.

Will voters EVER understand the big lie about "scary democratic (small D) socialist policies?!" Bernie has told us for decades, and Mamdani is showing us now. We can instantly fund a WAR but have TO DEBATE for decades about healthcare for all - GEEZUS!
They've LIED TO US FOR PROFIT for decades.

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

In just over a decade, Chile went from no utility-scale wind or solar at all to having more electricity from these sources than from all fossil fuels combined:

In 2000, wind+solar provided 0% of Chile's electricity, fossil fuels 45%.By 2025, wind+solar had risen to 36%, fossil fuels fallen to 28%.

oh wow you’re telling me that jd vance follows yet another nazi on twitter

I'll just note this picture in this post is from the White House photographer who either isn't great at the job or really hates Miller and Vance. I'm assuming the latter!

How the Iran War, Then the U.S. Blockade, Has Changed the Strait of Hormuz: Maps (Gift Article) Iran’s stranglehold over the waterway completely reshaped shipping during the war. The U.S. naval blockade is an attempt to stop that.

Great interactive maps showing the impact of the US war on Iran on shipping—

1) shipping through the strait of Hormuz before the war
2) then Iranian limited transit policies afterwards
3) and now the US blockade.

FBI reported 1700 arrested "child predators" in 2025. That's around 1/200k. There have been now 7 pardoned J6ers arrested for sex crimes against kids, out of 1600 J6ers total, around 1 in 230.

You can play w the denominator a bit (135M adult males) but it's still around 350x the rate

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich

Well, today we're taxing the rich...

Climate Coverage Plunges, Though Crisis More Dire Than Ever The scientific consensus that we need to phase out fossil fuels fast has not changed, but coverage about climate change in US news outlets has plunged.

“The term ‘climate crisis,’ which carries with it a more urgent connotation than the more familiar ‘climate change,’ has nearly disappeared from media lexicon.”

A New Hungary Is a Huge Opportunity for Europe Once the problem area, Central Europe could become the engine of reform the continent needs.

"All of this requires a renewal of trust. Under Orbán, Budapest was the EU’s and NATO’s leakiest capital, working closely with Moscow. But Europe’s weakest link could become its strongest."

President Trump, "We should have Greenland to protect the world against Russia and China"

"The USA should not be paying trillions to NATO"

- Since the founding of NATO in 1949, the US has contributed $45 billion, nowhere near a trillion, let along, trillions

💯- both Winnie & Shane have taken on a distinctly Trumpian flavour 🤮

This Tax Day, every American should know:

Because of Trump, Amazon avoided paying over 90% of the taxes it owed.

That's $17.5 billion that should be going to health care, schools, child care, and more.

But instead, Jeff Bezos gets wealthier.

Congress needs to tax the rich.

This is what happens when there’s a sociopathic “daddy” autocrat as the cult leader of a bunch of bigoted, mean spirited ignoramuses - they think that bullying, lying & arrogance is all they need to get ahead! So far, they’ve been proven right. At least in America 😞

Catholic Convert JD Vance Mansplains Theology to the Pope The vice president appears to have a case of Pope Derangement Syndrome.

JD Vance mansplaining Catholic theology to the pope is the ultimate example of how MAGA does not believe in expertise of any sort. Science, medicine, history, and now religious doctrine: all to be manipulated to serve rightwing politics.

It is insane to me to see a Catholic — let alone a Catholic *convert* — speak about the ostensibly infallible head of their church like he’s Joe from Marketing

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
