Trust your common sense: yes, a series of massive fossil fuel supply shocks is, in fact, going to radically accelerate the process of electrification & decarbonization.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

I feel called out

Why wouldn't you want to fund this, and stop people from dying painful, premature deaths?
Yes. And quickly!

SCOOP: An investigation by The Narwhal and Point Source shows LNG Canada burned 350 million cubic metres of gas in 2025, making it one of the worst polluters for flaring emissions globally and undermining Canada’s environmental claims. @writermjs.bsky.social #lng thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...
just admit you can't do anything and leave me alone about it! god!!!!!!!
Where is the protest music, they asked. Whoa.
Looks like the tide might be turning….
"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us," write @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.
Hell yes 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰”
Promises kept.
When Spanish billionaire Amancio Ortega bought the Post office development in Vancouver, a loophole allowed him to avoid paying property transfer tax on the $1.2-billion purchase.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Feminists began raising the alarm about the manosphere decades ago – and we were ignored. We were told we couldn’t take a joke, and that social media isn’t real life. Now the misogyny of early chatrooms and Gamergate has reached mainstream politics

If oil prices remain at current levels for the next 12 months, the Canadian oil industry is on track to make $90bn in profits, which is $60bn more than it would have earned without the war...Applying 15% rate on excess profits of oil industry could generate $9 billion over the next 12 months. ⬇️
Cutting the gas tax is just a subsidy to corporate profiteering unless we impose an excess profit tax.

De la même façon que des féministes ont dénoncé le mythe de la « victime parfaite » de violences sexuelles, il faut dénoncer le mythe de « l’immigré parfait » - celui qui doit à tout prix être utile pour mériter des droits.
Deuxième volet de mon reportage en Espagne:

Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime.
It'll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.
Orban's inability to prevent last year's Pride protests—attended by 300k despite being banned—was a turning point in his authoritarian grip of the country.
Queer people are always leading the fight against authoritarianism, as we are often its first targets. Never cower to fear.
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Authoritarians don't wait till after election to steal, they plant doubt, rig rules & block voting. Then they lose, they lie, they lash out. Beating them requires more than voting; requires showing you ARE the majority & will force will of people to prevail.
