In June, Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. A month later, European diamonds got an exemption from Trump’s tariffs. We don’t know where the ring is today. Where did it go? Did Trump keep it for himself?

Hear me out. All police misconduct cases paid out of police pension funds. Because as a citizen I'm really sick of public funds being used to pay these AND having to worry about a cop doing something shitty to me because they have no accountability.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

This is a good @billmckibben.bsky.social post - and this specific part is extremely important and touches on a tension right deep at the heart of all this It is worth repeating this point persistently, because it has been forgotten in so many spaces billmckibben.substack.com/p/reform-or-...
The first thing to remember is, the real goal for people who care about the climate above all is not to build more renewables, it’s to drive down the amount of carbon flowing into the atmosphere. Building more renewables is a key way of doing that—but only if they displace fossil fuel.

And here is an important divergence: for many people working in the clean energy industry, victory looks like doubling or tripling their output, even if fossil fuel is growing fast at the same time. Even if they got into this fight for the right reasons, their commitment is—because, capitalism—to their bottom line. It’s important not to confuse the two motivations, because physics only cares about the carbon. If transmission corridors are matched by new gas pipelines, we haven’t made much progress.

Text from a friend. HEADS UP TEXAS. CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION ASAP. This is a family with a Latino last name.
Texts from my friend: I wanted to share with you a message from Texas I thought would be a good fact or call to action for your audience.
I wanted to share something that happened to my 76-year-old mom in Texas yesterday because I immediately thought of you and the reach of your mic.
My mom, Margaret, has been a voter since she was 18 and has always voted. She went to a voter-registration event in Bexar County and, when they suggested she check her registration, her record couldn’t be found. She immediately filled out a new registration application.
Then she checked her husbands, and his record couldn’t be found either.
Regardless of why any individual registration has an issue, this feels like an important public-service message: Texans should check their voter registration now, while there’s still time to fix a problem, not discover it when they go to vote.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
