Solar flares lately are a tad worrying. Another X flare today. Hope the big one doesn't show up in the next few days.

One on side, the Trump administration is arguing that hormones are "mutilating" when used by trans people. When used by cis people, they are removing all the warning labels and increasing access.
Funny how that works.

so cool that mark carney is gutting climate policy to make a very expensive bet that asia will buy a ton of additional oil and gas from canada over the next few decades
"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..."
China's oil demand is entering structural decline.

“He promised things that Europeans take for granted, but Americans are told are impossible.”
I increasingly think that the most powerful act we can take right now is to truly believe a better society is possible. Then fight for it but first we have to really internalize that better options exist.

After everything, Senate Democrats still haven’t figured out that surrendering to Trump Republicans will end badly? Unbelievable.

If Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget becomes law, Canada will cut public services and climate programs while increasing government handouts to oil and gas companies.

This should be concerning to all Canadians: Ksi Lisims isn't just bad for the climate, energy bills and food security; it's also a threat to Canadian sovereignty, being entirely owned by US MAGA shitlords. You know, the folks who want to make Canada the 51st state. Well, it's kinda happening—via LNG

So I feel honoured to lend them a hand by using our platform to help shine a spotlight on Ksi Lisims and PRGT.
But they need the help, as Canadian media has been virtually silent about this story and thus most Canadians know absolutely nothing about what's going down here.

We had the honour of being invited to the Gitxsan Lax'Yip in northern B.C. a few months ago and meet some of the First Nation communities affected by the PRGT fracked-gas pipeline that would feed Ksi Lisims. The beauty and strength of the people and this land inspired this HGA.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. When they refer to the 8 of them as "moderates", what they mean is "8 members of our caucus who are either retiring or are not up for reelection this cycle, and therefore are insulated from any fallout we face from our own voters." bsky.app/profile/unav...
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)

I have been following national Congressional politics since I was a teenager in Obama I. This is how it always works. Regardless of their actual seat totals, The Democrats "somehow" always have just enough moderates (not too many or too little) that they concede to the GOP on every major issue.
