I want a sustainable future.

I practice non-violent communication

I do not seek fame
I do not seek fortune

I seek peace

It is always darkest before the dawn

Here for science communication and truth.

It was a simpler time with fun in science.

I hope we have more Boaty McBoatFaces in our future.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

This is very important.

The United States needs to change its thinking about the transition to clean energy and adapting to Climate Change.

We need to care for people.

We need to show people we care.

We need to demonstrate we will include everyone in the new energy economy.
Last week, the 🇪🇺 Parliament is said yes to #justtransition, with over 400 MEPs calling on the Commission to back a #JustTransitionDirective!

Only by prioritising just transition can Europe deliver coal phaseout and a future built on sustainability, climate action, and shared prosperity.
BREAKING: European Parliament backs a Just Transition Directive ✅

The EU must equip itself with strong tools to anticipate & manage change while building cohesion.

Its for workers like Rainer that the Commission must now move ahead with a Just Transition Directive as part of the Quality Jobs Act.

Workers and their trade unions must be in a position to manage change, rather than suffer its consequences.

As well as avoiding job losses, workers also stand to benefit from a right to training during working time to ensure they are prepared for the quality jobs of the future.

“There are no winners from the chaotic factory closures and redundancies that Europe is currently suffering. It means Europe is losing industrial capacity for good and it is harder for workers to find jobs of the same quality."

The overwhelming support, with 420 MEPs voting in favour (67%) of the report on a ‘just transition directive in the world of work,’ represents an important step towards greater job security at a time when a wave of company restructuring is underway.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

We can not solve the problems we have using the same thinking we used to create them.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The law of the River is not a Natural law.

Nature does not care about human laws.

Nature does not care about States rights.

Nature does not care about banks.

Nature does not care about human power.

Nature does not care about sunk costs.
