What an Exhibition Launch today at Paris City Hall! As I shared with media & guests, It’s been a HUGE honour to be invited by Mayor Anne Hidalgo to co-curate this unique Exhibition powerfully “connecting the dots” between better city-building and urgent climate action!

RT @ItsDeanBlundell: Trump did this.
You can’t find a ticket for a game in Canada. They can give them away fast enough in the U.S. https…

I'm shocked they haven't deleted this tweet confirming that DOGE cut the funding for the screwworm eradication program.
Have the plague you voted for!
A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. newsmax.com/platinum/screwwo…

Speaking as a former pool operator. Painting the bottom of a shallow pool exposed to direct sunlight that's surrounded by trees dark blue simply creates the perfect conditions for algae to bloom lmao.
This is the perfect exemplar for Trumps presidency.

The swamp is no longer a metaphor.
Community note
This image is nearly 14 years old, extracted from a news piece filmed in 2012 by NBC, documenting algae issues the Reflecting Pool was facing at that time.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.
This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

Incredible. Publishing what appears to be (if you care to read the "evidence") a totally legitimate US program, and even citing the risks of these being used as "Russian information campaigns", Tulsi Gabbard - the gift that kept giving - presents the Kremlin with yet one more information operation.
Read our investigation from 2025 where we presented evidence that the hybrid ops unit of GRU's 29155 came up with the whole "bio-labs" concept - and co-opted Tulsi into it. theins.press/en/inv/281731

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Does this street look closed to you?
We shouldn’t need to host the World Cup to rethink streets for people.
Granville Street, downtown Vancouver, part of the city’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup.

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.
