Leadership!

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Given the state of our Presidency, Congress, and the Supreme(ly corrupt) Court, I'd just say, "We'll see."

Because nobody else was doing it, I created the Bluesky Nevada Politics starter pack. This is a list that contains (1) all NV elected officials currently in office, (2) NV state offices, (3) politically focused NGOs in the state of Nevada. Let me know if I missed anyone. go.bsky.app/K9TN3KX

More water in the air leads to more extreme rainfall

This says we should fret about the backlog of gas turbines because it will delay gas's displacement coal. Why can't this lead to faster renewables & storage deployment? Also, a key fact is buried: "gas is cleaner than coal only if methane leaks are kept in check." How's that leak-plugging going?

I’m tired of saving Trump voters from the consequences of their own decisions. If farmers want a bailout, they should call their republican congressmembers and ask them to use their article 1 powers to get rid of the tariffs.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

This is great in toto, but the inflatable Elon doing the Nazi salute guy is next level. Someone built this and took the time to engineer it to work the way it does. Whoever it is is my hero. Mad respect. ✊🙇‍♂️

So many echoes from this article for US politics....

On the long list of things that I do not understand is why light colored roofs aren't a much bigger thing in warm climates.

What, and I cannot stress this strongly enough, the fuck?

Hey! I'm grieving here!

Kicked out of Columbia University, now Washington Post. All for writing and speaking about race and injustice. The best way to support my work is to join @resistanceschool.bsky.social and take my class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Or, and hear me out, is it possible that there's another, simpler explanation?

Well, that's a relief.

They're now saying it out loud. Laura Loomer calling on Trump to declare himself a dictator. Just watch how quickly others will follow.

I did not have this on my bingo card. In the last handful of days, we've had good points by Rove, John Yoo, Tucker Carlson, and one (of many) by Bill Kristol, who are all now clearly to the left of the median Republican. If you had told 2007 me about this, I would have had you committed.

I'm the last person who should make fun of what someone wears, and I don't really care about this at all, but I can't be the only one who saw this picture and thought the Mango Maniac's new bodyguard was Cad Bane. defector.com/nice-hat-mel...

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

Big if true...

Good thread. Pay attention.

When he's right, he's right.

Really insightful thoughts about what's going on in government right now.

There is a clutch of pundits who treat the world like it’s an Ivy League seminar course, mostly because that’s the environment in which they emerged. They think debate and white papers are the pinnacle of political action. They fume at anyone who approaches politics in any other way.

Excellent. Now do more.

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!" And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college. This is, in fact, good politics.

Sure, the United States right now isn't doing so hot, but there is still some momentum here, and the rest of the world seems to be moving ahead without us. Good for them.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I assume "Powdered Death" is Don Jr.'s Secret Service code name.

Can Nevada join? Governor Joe, any chance you want to get off your ass and do something positive for the state you ostensibly run?

Dems "need to just go at this stuff and they need to *very* personalize it. I would be putting billboards in front of Mike Johnson's church, saying, does Mike Johnson support a pedophile? Child sex trafficker in a Club Fed?" Stuart Stevens joins Tim Miller:

Governor Lombardo, your move.

Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act

We are not "approaching" an authoritarian state, we're soaking in it right now.

Hey, Nevada, there just might be a lesson here if you're paying attention: www.wsj.com/business/med...

Another really fantastic and important article from the @nevadacurrent.com . That team is killing it. So, here's the deal, there are lots of new solar projects in the pipeline to be built in Nevada. The Big Billionaire Boondoggle has brought these to a screeching halt.

If you're committing crimes with a long gun, that's just fine (and are white, of course), but heaven help you if you throw a sandwich.

Big if true

I gotta say, this shtick seems obvious in retrospect, but nobody else did it like this before, and it is being executed very, very well.

Hey, elected Democrats, if Bill Kristol is speaking out more to support marginalized communities than you are, you need to step up your game, massively.

Again: the Trump administration isn't opposed to clean energy. They are opposed to cheap energy. Upstream fossil producers make more money when prices rise and this WH will always put their interests ahead of US consumers. www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol...

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

But also these US-specific numbers are crazy! Utility-scale solar still costing over $1 per W(DC) in the US? Our global benchmark, relevant to most European markets with China and India maybe a bit cheaper, was $0.51/W(DC) for 2024. And modules are only about 20 cents per W more expensive in the US.
