Just want to point out that the Bondi DOJ track record on high-profile, top-down, WH-driven cases so far is…not great.

Stop burning fossil fuels.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Oregon just passed laws to protect beavers — but only because they “benefit humans.” As soon as they start doing beaver things that benefit beavers, they’re killed. We will never see ourselves as part of nature. #RacingToExtinction

A global minimum tax on the ultrarich could change planetary politics. Right now South Africa, Chile, France, and Spain are pushing for it
France could raise around €20 billion per year from this tax
That’s half of the €40B the government is looking for this year
Globally? $302–377 billion could be raised—every year
From the ultra-rich. Who currently pay very little.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
