Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.
The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

YIMBYism actually works and we increasingly have the data to prove it.
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

Between tearing babies from their parents' arms and traumatizing countless children, abandoning climate action and environmental protection, and loosing RFK on public health, the Trump Administration is engaging in quite a bit of child sacrifice. To their right-mania goals.
Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

Investing in cycling to address the housing crisis? That's exactly what the Dutch government is going to do!
€2.5 billion is being invested to make housing projects accessible. A large portion of this will go towards cycling infrastructure, such as continuous cycle routes. 👌
