Remember that under the first Trump administration, Puerto Rico had to suffer through the longest power blackout in U.S. history bsky.app/profile/cost...

Puerto Rico knows a thing or two about rebuilding an electric grid.

A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

I don't want to speak rashly here, but I'm starting to get the feeling that the Trump administration is *not* actually concerned with holding pedophiles to account?

biggest surprise.... insideclimatenews.org/news/0502202...

Putting solar panels on land used to grow biofuels worldwide (about the size of Poland) you'd produce 32 times the energy. AND EVs are WAY more efficient than combustion engine powered vehicles. About 2/3rds of fuel burned is wasted as heat, not moving the vehicle. ourworldindata.org/biofuel-land...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

I guess they are now going to unconstitutionally and illegally detain, and maybe beat up and shoot, people trying to vote. How American of them. Wonder if any of our wonderful elected officials will prevent this. thehill.com/homenews/med...

Whether they will be required to turn them on, or if in fact any of them will in reality be turned on, remains to be seen.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Noem says every DHS officer deployed to Minneapolis is now being issued a body-worn camera.

Maybe he will downlad himself into a computer, blast it into space and live forever that way.

The government has been just hiring vicious stupid animals...

And so will go the world as America looks towards the... 1980s????

Game changer that will push power prices that people pay way down. Solar plus batteries is dirt cheap. - and getting CHEAPER.

Over a week to find out which two government employees shot a peaceful US citizen exercising his constitutional rights in cold blood- 7 times in the back.

I guess they are pretty upset. For some reason.

Do justice, love kindness, walk humbly.

Just reposting this - my story this week is part of this week's cover package on Minneapolis and the rise of what we call "America's paramilitary peril." www.economist.com/united-state...

It's his hand grabbing inside the federal cookie jar. And the people who would fight back on him grabbing BILLIONS OF YOUR MONEY work for him...

If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News. Think of the ratings!

they're STILL making dangerous guns-drawn stops to harass & hurt people documenting illegal activity as protected by the Constitution. Here, it's in a rural area, where if she was trapped & shot dead multiple times, there wouldn't be crowds of neighbors to document murderous criminal activity.

Why electric lawnmowers and leaf blowers - used primarily in the warm summer smog season months in the Midwest - are so damn impotant...

One thing to note is that, assuming they go through with this, they seem to intend to run this anywhere on the system (eventually) and *possibly* at up to 90mph

Metra has issued an RFP for battery electric locomotives, seemingly poised for rush hour RI-Bev service

They are literally crushing people's skulls now. I home this guy does not die or become a vegetable because these government-employed untrained vicious thugs literally tried to bash his brains out.

You know what happens to all the lithium in batteries when the batteries wear out decades in the future? It’s still there. It can be recycled. It’s mined once and used for decades over and over. It’s a durable resource Unlike petrol and diesel.

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this. A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants. Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

Can we please never forget this. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

I'm not doubting this is the case, but it is such a neat explanation for what we've seen over the last few years that it appears almost too seductive to be true.

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

reports today say that he's dehydrated and vomiting. this child might be the next casualty of this administration. this is so fucked in so many ways.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Epstein Files. That is all.

1) this is horrible, horrific, awful to think about its intended use 2) i never want to hear "but we can't just put all these unemployed ice agents back out onto the streets" ever again. we know exactly where we can put them bsky.app/profile/fola...

And HEY Chicago is looking to make this happen! This RFP will be looking at the feasibility of a zero-emission delivery zone in Little Village neighborhood - check it out here www.c40.org/work-with-c40/

DID YOU HEAR!?! Illinois extended its EV rebate program until May 31! There is still a lot of money available! You can get a rebate of between $2000 and $4000 if you buy and EV and apply. Deets here - > epa.illinois.gov/content/dam/...

📉25% LOWER ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY! Wowzers—one of the largest long-term safety studies ever undertaken: “Among 28 mil adults, those who received an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine were less likely to die in subsequent 4 years than unvaccinated, corresponding to a 25% lower risk of death from all causes.”

It’s just disgusting.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
