France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Another reason not to use self-checkout:

Unlike the US media, international media are saying it like it is. The US is a global pariah:

Yes. 🫶 🌍

Today, April 12, 2026, is Easter for Eastern Orthodox Christians. This is an Eastern Orthodox Easter flash mob in Beirut's City Center Mall 15 years ago. A friend of mine checked and says this mall is still standing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uktX...

Now that Trump’s fallen out with the Pope, how long before he breaks with Rome, declares himself Supreme Head of the Church of America and dissolves the monasteries?

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🍿

Jimmy Kimmel: "Today was D-Day. The D stood for dementia..."

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.

Another beautiful Easter message from the President who loves Jesus with all his heart and soul.

Well, you knew there wouldn’t be books

My first thought was "This is hilarious," and my second thought was "This sounds like something the dude would actually say and do. I really wish this sounded more far-fetched....

Just a report on our No Kings event here in little old Edmonds, WA. mylynnwoodnews.com/no-kings-ral...

#Scotland runs temporarily fully on #windpower, generating over 200% of its electricity demand, a remarkable milestone offering a real glimpse into a future where fossil fuels may no longer be essential. #Renewables cheaper then #oilandgas offering independence from stock exchanges and #DoanldTrump

At Democratic #NoKings protests, they used flags to wave. At Republican #Jan6 protest, they used flags to assault police officers. The two parties are *not* the same.

I see people who can't attend a local No Kings Rally asking what else they can do. Please consider a small donation to your local Indivisible group, if you can afford it. They have expenses for materials, but most importantly they have to pay for local permits for their gatherings.

I just wrote a @FaithfulAmerica letter: Tell your senator: Do NOT confirm Markwayne Mullin. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Ted Lieu: “Undocumented immigrants voting in elections is an infinitesimal problem — to vote, you have to first register — how many undocumented are going to go, ‘yes, I'm going to give all my info to the govt that's trying to maybe deport me.’ No way — so this is a problem that doesn't even exist”

Again, I'm just a bit confused with the mixed messaging here. He says he's the greatest President of all time, no one had numbers like his......... so why does he have to rig the 2026 vote? And if Dems rig elections, how come he's President? How does one so unqualified win if they don't cheat?

Watching wealthy Americans posting about how we all need to declare a side in Team Library vs Team Bookstore is demoralizing. When the decline in literacy is literally costing us our country and our hopes for the future... How about we all get on Team I'd Rather Just See People Reading Whatever?

Kristi Noem might be humiliated at her public firing by Trump, but she should be glad that he didn’t shoot her in the face for being untrainable.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

It has been suggested that to replace the State of the Union Address, we should all tune in to whatever is on our local PBS channel(s) to send a message about defunding PBS. Where I live, I have a choice between PBS news and some nice nature shows. I will probably go for the nature shows.

Absolutely amazing!

Listening to Shostakovich`s 5th at Seattle Symphony this afternoon, it occurred to me that Trump`s style is an awful lot like Stalin`s, but most of us are too young to remember Stalin. (Full confession: I`m old enough to remember.)

I learned about Doomtree years ago when it was the favorite group of one of my sons. I have been wearing their swag to protests and getting a lot of "Ooh, where did you get that!?" reactions. I just gave one of their No Kings flags to South Snohomish County Indivisible to use on March 28.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Local coverage of the Seahawks' victory parade was sponsored, with minimal interruptions, by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Their spokesperson expressed pride in their choice of a Pacific Northwest tribal symbol.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release. WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???
