This one really left an impression because just this morning I heard from multiple people in the neighborhood who were too scared to go downtown. And I understand why, so all the more important that so many others showed up to express their deep care for rule of law, democracy, and solidarity

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

We must keep those bells of freedom ringing.

I made a timeline of everything the Trump admin has done to kill offshore wind. Pretty much everything on the list was requested by anti-offshore wind groups in a memo to the Trump transition team in January, as reported by @jael.bsky.social.

One of the most remarkable and impactful transformations of all human technology and civilization in history is happening right now!
China's July 2025 solar production was ~50% higher than its July 2024 solar output!

China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.

China's solar will generate in 2025 an amount of electricity equal to about 27% of USA's electricity demand. #energysky

As for that infamous Trump administration DOE "climate report" that Judith Curry recently co-authored, here are some assessments from the experts
First, @sciencefeedback.bsky.social:

Misleading U.S. Department of Energy climate report chooses bias over science, climate scientists say
DOE report written by climate contrarians shares misleading information on climate change and excludes well-established evidence.
