Never been a better time for journalists and politicians to get off of X.

Ian Dunt @iandunt.bsky.social · 14h

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Since the federal government announced charges against me and five others for protesting at Broadview, people have asked how they can help. Right now, I need support for my legal defense fund so I can fight these unjust charges—and for our collective First Amendment rights.

Together, we can show our neighbors, friends, and children that we have the courage to do what is right.

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

you can have so much cheap energy that the sensible thing is to give some of it away for free, or you can expensively mine the planet for finite resources and pretend the future will never come to america

i often think about how the us could have been an early leader on solar power. but it turns out all that capitalist stuff about the spirit of innovation and better ideas winning was bullshit. they’ll protect their dying and dirty industry at any cost so long as obsolescence can still make a dime

How did Georgia pull off their first statewide win in non-federal races in 19 years—and so convincingly?

Turnout, turnout, turnout.

The state's 10 largest blue counties made up more than 52% of the total electorate. That compares to 44.6% last year, and 45.3% in the 2022 Senate runoff.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.

Democrats swept all 13.

That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).

They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible.

There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

The past week+ has been really intense in Los Angeles. We need all of the help, support, & attention we can get. Feds are literally roving the streets snatch & grabbing vulnerable individuals. It's horrific. We need to do more.

Quick (2,5 hours, I’m slow af) Totoro background painting study + brush testing.
I’ve been feeling tense when trying to draw people recently and this helped chill out a bit. I also like how it turned out.
