Question de relativiser quand on fait des interprétations de la représentation politique des résultats électoraux. 44% de l'électorat n'a pas voté pour un parti représenté. Il est temps que ça change. #PolQc www.electionsquebec.qc.ca/resultats-et...

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc. Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Ma réaction à Eric Duhaime qui veut que la "taxe carbone" (la taxe sur l'essence du Québec) soit la "question de l'urne". Les démagogues populistes comme Duhaime tirent la politique vers le bas avec leurs raisonnements simplistes et leurs appels à l’émotion. www.lanouvelle.net/lettres-dopi...

Il parait qu'Éric Duhaime veut faire de la taxe carbone la question de l'urne. Faut-il manquer d'envergure, dans l'époque à laquelle on vit, pour vouloir faire des élections un référendum sur le prix ...

NEW: I analyzed nearly 300 federal cases involving the Trump administration. Federal judges—across the political spectrum—are using language I’ve never seen before. One called government actions “unconscionable.” Another quoted Kafka. They’re begging us to pay attention.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Popular resistance in Trump's first term accomplished more than many realize. A history professor explores how quiet organizing in communities and workplaces had more impact than visible tactics like petitions and hashtags. buff.ly/88olGvT Kevin A. Young @umassamherst.bsky.social #polisky

Social movements constrained Trump in his first term – more than people realize

Pushback works.

My semi-regular reminder of a really important reality about cities, density, services and taxes. Any questions? Graphic recently cleaned up by @kathrynmathias.bsky.social. #CityMakingMath

"It’s profoundly irrational to be weakening infectious disease surveillance in the midst of the current avian flu crisis (and amid mounting infectious disease risks more generally). (...) It might temporarily bring egg prices down, but it also inevitably means passing untold risks into the future."

Soaring U.S. egg prices and millions of dead chickens signal the deep problems and risks in modern poultry production

By undermining crucial capacity for infectious disease surveillance, Trump is passing untold risks into the future.

How to hold back the tide of subversion and corruption? How to counter disinformation and propaganda campaigns from Russia? There is more to learn from Moldova, dealing with autocratic tactics, corruption, military and political pressures. It also means that the EU needs to step up its support ⤵️

theguardian.com

Can Moldova – population 2.4m – show the world how to stand up to Putin?

The tiny former Soviet republic’s determination not to be cowed by the Kremlin could provide a template for the west on how to hold back the tide of subversion and corruption

Les feux de bois émettent des particules à effet de serre extrêmement puissant mais de courte durée. Que dire de la culture des feux de camps, également fortement implantée et connotée positivement, où on brûle du bois dans des mauvaises conditions pour le simple plaisir de brûler quelque chose?

Québec est le plus grand émetteur au Canada de carbone noir, un « superpolluant » nocif pour la santé issu du brûlage résidentiel du bois.
