and here it is...evidence that AI investment is tied to maintaining demand for fossil fuels. this is why they're dumping so much money into it when it has shown little promise to produce profit on its own.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Janet Mills has jumped into the Maine Senate race against Susan Collins. Recent polling we did with @ZenithPolls shows that Graham Platner is best positioned to beat Susan Collins, out-performing Mills by 6 points. substack.perfectunion.us/p/poll-platn...

When Maria Corina Machado Wins the Nobel Peace Prize, ‘Peace’ Has Lost Its Meaning Far from a symbol of peace, the article exposes Machado's history of supporting coups, sanctions, and calls for foreign military intervention in Venezuela. venezuelanalysis.com/opinion/when...

The historically volatile Texas grid was entirely stable this summer, despite extreme temperatures. Grid operators never once had to ask Texans to conserve energy or shut off their air conditioners. Why? Solar & batteries. Want a stable grid? Try solar & batteries.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

EVERYONE’S PRETENDING: Police guild gangsters are trying to kill alternative response. Meanwhile, Mayor Bruce is making a show of “expanding” it in next year’s budget because it’s popular and it’s an election year. He knows damn well he’ll bargain it away.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

All the Democrats need to do is demand things that are very popular from the GOP if they want the budget to pass: Fire RFK Jr. & restore vaccine guidance & research End Medicaid cuts End High Prices (tarriffs) It's win-win. If Trump agrees you get good stuff. If he doesn't the shutdown is on him.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Causing a Führer

there is no statue of limitations on murder, folks

I think it's about time to wonder what a J.D. Vance presidency would look like. Just as a hypothetical. Personally, I think he'll be about 50% less kooky, but just about as evil. At first I thought he'd be more like a garden-variety establishment Republican. But now I'm not so sure.

It is clear now that the best thing the US wind industry could have done to secure its ongoing health & growth-- by FAR, not even close --is to prevent Donald Trump from winning the election. Instead it listened to consultants, rhetorically humped the leg of "bipartisanship," & is getting fucked.

It's my birthday so I'm celebrating by going to the gym. WTF is wrong with me.

David Graeber warned a few years back about the dangers of so-called "Centrist" politicians.

“Western media outlets have made possible the killing of more journalists in two years on one tiny strip of land than in WWI, WWIl, and the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, and Ukraine combined”

So can we request UN election monitoring? How do we get a million people from outside to come and at least document that the next election was stolen?

that's my butt. they discovered my butt.

this is just a re-hash of heroine chic which was just a re-hash of consumption chic (read "everything is tuberculosis")

i like this, but frankly this is how democrats should've been treating republicans since they stole the election of 2000. they're a quarter-century behind the times on this shit.

New litmus test for 2028 presidential candidates just dropped: They must agree to Dismantle DHS The gestapo and ss were disbanded once the nazis were defeated and the same needs to happen here.

Battle of Evermore by Zeppelin and I would do an interpretive dance on my way to the mound wearing flowing white silk robes and I would make them play the whole thing.

Every city-dwelling Democrat needs to wrap their head around the fact that their town is packed with Republicans who are afraid to admit it. When they run for office they have to put a D next their name to win. But they're still right-wingers, through-and-through.

one reason democrats have a credibility problem is folks like adam schiff were taking smiling photos next to netanyahu two weeks ago

yah i was so shocked when bernie sanders lost to trump in 2016. how do you lose to the most unpopular candidate who ever ran? liberalism sabotaged itself. bernie was just the messenger. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_o...
