Painesville is using funding from EPA to replace its coal power plant with solar and batteries, not because it's "out of fashion," but because it's the single most expensive power plant in the country to operate ($1400/MWh), and it's so polluting that it put Lake County in nonattainment for SO2.

Maybe it’s because I’m renovating my bathroom but this hits hard ‘AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.’

This can't be good: "Over the past three years, leading tech firms have committed more toward AI data centers, plus chips and energy, than it cost to build the interstate highway system over four decades, when adjusted for inflation." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-b...

Congress is rewriting the rules of crypto—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In our new explainer, Brad Lipton explains why new bills moving through Congress could open dangerous loopholes in our financial system. 🧵1/3 rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/what-is...

In consensus decision-making, every voter is the deciding vote. That’s a lot of pressure!

Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

The empire is crumbling

Today's announcement by Colombia to host an international conference on phasing out fossil fuels could not be more timely. Following the #ICJAO, it's clear that international cooperation to transition away from fossil fuels is necessary. fossilfueltreaty.org/phase-out-co...

News: Hundreds of Jewish healthcare workers from around the US and beyond are circulating a letter demanding an “end to the genocide in Gaza.” They “reject the weaponization of accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel and expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.”

Enjoying the idea that this reviewer thinks that tiny homes are filled with tiny appliances

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

The whole point of the current administration is to enrich themselves

Cancelling mine today felt good!

Great seeing R.A. Washington, Cleveland-based artist, poet & performer, sitting on West 29th in Ohio City with a vintage typewriter writing poems for passersby. Founder of the wonderful band, Mourning [A] BLKstar. Read more in my column, “Skrtic’s Pics” in clevelandmagazine.com/in-the-cle/p...

Sovereign wealth fund should definitely happen

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Americans are most likely to encounter people from different economic classes in gas stations, restaurants and hotels. This mixing is least likely to happen in elementary and secondary schools, while exercising, and in supermarkets. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Since 1978, CEO pay has shot up 1,085%. The typical worker’s? Just 24%. The super rich want us fighting each other for crumbs so we don’t notice them making off with the whole pie.

Public investment = public abundance

'Baudrier points out that Paris has recently set an annual housing budget of around €800mn a year, nearly double that of five years ago, and four times the amount budgeted by the central government. “Our aim is to push rental prices down and bring down housing valuations overall,”' this is the way

I feel like the fact that Donald Trump took a $2 billion buy off from the Emiratis brokered by his lead negotiator with both Israel and Russia isn’t getting the attention it deserves www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

Resident ownership and accountability. At-cost housing. Co-op housing is the best of both worlds.

Public abundance, private sufficiency!

I absolutely condemn the killing this week. But let’s be clear: Turning Point USA and its allies have been harassing professors across the nation for years. 4/

One thing I'm expecting, in the next recession, is a bipartisan rush to rescue AI companies and their investors.

Kerry leaving council to take a job at Flock, a company that sells punitive surveillance tech (similar to ShotSpotter), at the exact moment fascism is surging in the US, is, frankly, depraved.

Today @merkley.senate.gov and I released a report on our recent trip to the Middle East. Our inescapable conclusion: the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Tune in as we discuss what we saw and where we go from here:

Well done.

I support these workers who do vital reporting work in Cleveland!

I feel like noncompliance is the key thing at this moment.

Leslie Wexner's perverted birthday card to international sex-trafficking pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, as originally reported by the Wall Street Journal, revealed.

Can’t quite put my finger on why, but somehow the actual doodle makes it so much worse and more disgusting.

This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:
