"The coolest thing about solar energy is that you don't need to invade another country to get it.
Solar power is democratic, abundant, and borderless. No pipelines. No tankers. No resource wars. Just the sun shining on everyone.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
And this is the guy Tim Houston is giving $1 million of Nova Scotian taxpayers’ money to for his sailing race in Halifax Harbour. SHAM.
WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”
Peter Magyar, the new Prime Minister of Hungary, is a cat guy!
Having mocked and insulted a billion Muslims on Tuesday, Trump attacked core beliefs of a billion Catholics today. And don’t forget his suggestion that any Jew who didn’t vote for him was an idiot. All in the days between the end of Ramadan, Passover, Easter and Orthodox Easter.
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
One for the history books

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.
Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺
Excited to share the cover image of my new novel publishing this fall with Nova Scotia‘s own amazing Nimbus Publishing.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁🍁🍁
Reading our brilliant PM’s book. A leader who’s an author. What’s not to love? We’re so lucky. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Pope Leo XIV rebukes Trump' psychotic rhetoric:
“Today as we all know there was this threat against all the people of Iran. This is truly unacceptable,” the Pope said, warning that attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law.
Pope Leo XIV: "Often, the proclamation of truth is obscured by what we today call “fake news” — lies, insinuations, and unfounded accusations. Yet, in the face of such obstacles, the truth does not remain hidden; rather, it comes forth to meet us, living and radiant, illuminating even the deepest darkness."
New in PN: Trump's Total War Budget
"It points the way clearly toward a distinctively Republican vision of America — one where there's endless money for bombs while the populace is transformed into an impoverished mass of hunger and disease, emitting hoarse pleas for castoffs from oligarchs."
We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

🚨BREAKING: Iranian media agency Tasnim reports that a US pilot may be in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after ejecting from an F-35 fighter jet hit by Iranian fire.
If true, Iran just acquired a hostage. The last time Americans were held captive in Iran, it ended a presidency.
Rather than opening more oil refineries, how about we get more EVs, more charging stations, more renewables, maybe even a super fast train or two.
Let’s stop planning a future that includes fossil fuels.
“If tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” -Thomas Jefferson #NoKings
Tremendous solidarity vs Houston who‘s become our own little trump. So dangerous when Cons have a majority, all bc people didn’t bother voting. Sound familiar?
Dear America,

Signed,
Most of the rest of the planet
