As Western North Carolina, Valencia, and Catalonia remind us, the President-elect is not in control, collapse is. Halting climate mitigation will just accelerate his loss of power.

"This initiative—which was funded by a millionaire hedge fund owner from CA with ties to the fossil fuel industry—is deceptively framed... I-2117 would ultimately cost the people of our state far more than its backers claim it will save." - @RickSteves 🔗 https://t.co/UqaWW7S10P

Pushing back on the firehose of regressive, anti-renter, climate-unaware City of Seattle planning proposals is f’ing exhausting.

Dear #waleg, If the One Seattle Comp Plan update goes through as it stands, please introduce legislation to nuke it from orbit on day 1 of the upcoming session. Signed, Seattleites who want to increase affordability, protect the environment, & end residential segregation
Kamala Harris: "In many places, it is too difficult to build, and it’s driving prices up." Barack Obama: "Clear away some of the outdated laws and regulations that make it harder to build homes." Bruce Harrell: "Nah, let's keep the NIMBYs happy instead."

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, CNN just fact checked Donald Trump’s claims that FEMA is skimming funds off the top for migrants. It’s no shocker that Trump is lying for his own benefit. Retweet so all Americans see the media hold Trump accountable.

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.” Leadership. https://t.co/iuR1CQ0PqD

If you're understandably upset about climate change this week, a reminder of why it's happening, where oil company profits come from, and that changing the design of our cities is a huge part of the solution

For everyone in our mentions saying "iT's WeAtHeR!! caLm DoWn!!"
New: 2 rapid attribution studies on the impact of climate change on Hurricane #Helene have just been released. The results are very significant, yet unsurprising. Warmer air, warmer water = much heavier rainfall rates. First study: ~50% increase in rain in parts of NC/ GA!! 🧵

Climate chaos is coming for us. Some places face bigger risks than others, but no matter where we live, we're gonna struggle to adapt to events like nothing we've seen before. I'm a climate futurist. Let me level with you about what this means. 🧵 (Img:OldMarshallJailHotel)

Dave McConville grew up in and around Asheville North Carolina and built a 3-D virtual replica of the flood-prone network of river basins and steep slopes in WNC (western North Carolina) to help drive flood-safer planning. The immense destruction from #HurricaneHelene - which was

Some disasters render most reasonable preparations useless. Deluges like these are not really something you can defend against. Yes, people can move to relatively safer places. But we offer no real support for doing that, and folks have homes, lives and communities they love.
30 inches of rain (76 cm) in four days is hard to fathom. Nothing regular people could do would prepare their homes and communities for almost a yard of water falling from the sky. At that point, it's all elevation, hydrology and prayer. https://t.co/THNp3aBsEF

What a COWARDLY decision by @CBS not to fact check the upcoming debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance. Journalists have to realize that this is not just any regular election, and that trump and Vance are prolific LIARS; they will lie without shame, and without consequence. Many

I’m dead serious Obama needs to start popping up at local city council meetings and roast any NIMBY democratic politicians opposing housing
From Obama speechwriter @jonfavs: "...[Obama] wanted this whole thing about how there's a lot of Democratic cities that have zoning laws and I was like we're not writing 'zoning laws' in the speech."

Visited Transport Cycles in South Philly on our Great American Getaway RV Tour and found the bike for me: the GSD! My Administration has a GSD attitude — just like Simon, his team, and so many small businesses across Pennsylvania.

After this blatant blow against building social housing in Seattle I will commit to work toward dumping these ineffective and wrong-headed Councilmembers in the next election, and I bet I'm not alone in that sentiment. Thank you @TammyMoralesSEA for staying the course.
