Recap for those not following the story: #DougFord had electronic flyers sent out to lobbying groups, developers, groups with dealings w/ Ontario’s gov’t, “browbeating” them into buying $150 raffle tickets for his daughter’s stag & doe party. IN ADDITION to $1K/person “donations”

For the last 9 months, The Guardian analyzed projects from the biggest carbon offset provider in the world.

They found "94% of the credits had no benefit to the climate."

WATCH: The most amazing thing about this remarkable car commercial, is that it didn’t seem to realize, or didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn cars. HT @javiermalagon

Pretty blunt statement from UN chief @antonioguterres on Pakistan floods:

"Even today, emissions are rising as people die in floods and famines. This is insanity. This is collective suicide."

I was on House floor as decision striking Roe was announced. I realized it happened because I saw Marjorie Taylor Greene and others jump up and high five each other. I overheard what they said. One said he always dreamt of this day. Other said something that hit me hard…THREAD

Before you give a hot take about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial that no one asked for, know that there are domestic violence survivors in your life —— they just haven't shared it with you. They are your colleagues, friends, and family.

Elon Musk keeps tweeting that he loves free speech. So here's a thread with just a few of the countless examples showing he couldn't care about it less (🧵)

A simultaneous 30°C anomaly in the Arctic and 40°C anomaly in the Antarctic, among the most terrifying events scientists have recorded, was a footnote in the bulletins.
