Seems like at least one of these things will happen: (1) ICE at airports will act as badly as ICE encountering dark skinned people, and folks will get just how bad ICE is, (2) ICE personnel at airports won't be kicking down doors deporting members of society. Both make the country better, IMHO.

More good reporting from Geneva Zoltek at @ktnv.bsky.social. And Ahmad Faruqui is 100% correct that strategically placed distributed energy systems can *benefit* non-solar customers by reducing the need for costly upgrades to transmission and distribution systems. www.ktnv.com/news/nv-ener...

This seems less than optimal.

Once again, it's #FightFascismFriday with @indivisiblelasvegas.org. Q: How many times will I show up for this? A: I will do this as often as I can until the fascism is gone.

Narrator: "Evolution has led non-crab animals to move toward a crab-like form at least five times since life has involved on earth. Some say that the sixth example of carcinization may be happening before our eyes."

"Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach the earth. None of them through the Strait of Hormuz." —Bill McKibben

Remember when Bashar al-Assad said that Syrian rebels gassed themselves? This is the exact same thing.

So, which administration is it that wants to take our hamburgers away?

Once again, it's #FightFascismFridays with @indivisiblelasvegas.org! Why do we do this? Because we need everyone to be constantly reminded that our country's decent into authoritarianism is *not* okay, and we're not gonna stop being in people's faces until the rule of law is restored.

Let's get it to Las Vegas & Henderson. Who knows what fresh hell the week will bring from Sh!tler and company, but we're sure it will be fascist and cruel. Stay loud and proud, friends, and we'll see you Friday. Info here: linktr.ee/IndivisibleLasVegas

Thermal images captured by Floodlight and analyzed by multiple experts show more than a dozen unpermitted gas turbines operating at a power plant supplying Elon Musk’s AI operations — nearly two weeks after the EPA issued a ruling requiring the equipment to shut down.

I might think twice before crossing up a guy with a room full of comedy writers and nothing to lose, but maybe that's just how I roll.

There aren't a lot of physical spaces in Clark County, NV where one can express free speech. Barbara Wolfe's letter to the @lasvegassun.bsky.social expresses these concerns well. Consider contacting your county commissioner if this concerns you as well. lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

It's #FightFascismFridays with @indivisiblelasvegas.org. Thanks to everyone who showed up! If we're going to preserve democracy, we must do what we can to keep the pressure on those who seek to replace it.

Fight Fascism Friday Round 2 - Vegas! #indivisible #lasvegas

Counterpoint: ICE is *not* a legitimate law enforcement agency, and those horrible things you mention, that's *exactly* what you're doing. Eliminate ICE and blacklist everyone who works there.

New York City needs more batteries to cushion peak power demands and close dirty power plants. "Community battery" projects could help a lot—and NineDot Energy's new $431M financing will let it build 494 megawatt-hours of them in the next two years: www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat... #energysky

About 150 ppm of CO2.

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days. Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Are you a panican, or are you a panican't?

The Scottish Play meets Puerto Rican Rap. The mashup we didn't know we needed.

Winter Olympics start tonight! I wrote about Jacquie Pierri, a women's hockey player who is also a sustainable energy engineer and vocal climate advocate when she's not winning championships around the world. Such a badass. You need to hear her story: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/jacquie-pi...

Photograph of sunspot group 4366. Not the greatest focus, but I was testing out some new camera gear I haven't quite got the hang of. Nonetheless, these are some big sunspots.

Watching "Have I Got News For You", and I gotta say, @andyrichter.co's current events game is ON POINT. I'm impressed.

This is not a "possibility," it is very, very obviously what's currently happening. The only reason people in power want to view it as a possibility rather than an ongoing fact is that they are scared of the implications. If it's the latter, they have to *do* something. History calls. It's scary!

This Friday, Jan 30th, join Americans across the country in a nationwide shutdown to stand up to ICE terror. Don’t go to work. Don’t go to school. Don’t shop. Hold the line for the people of Minneapolis.

On balance, I haven't been a big fan of the Abundance folks, but his association with CBS News sure makes my opinion of Derek Thompson drop several notches. Pity.

I'm admittedly a little fuzzy on the precise contours of what constitutes "soft", but I suspect it's safe to say that one ticket probably qualifies as "soft".

A moment of silence was held before today's New York Sirens vs. Minnesota Frost game in memory of Alex Pretti. Afterwards you can hear people yell "fuck ICE."

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians: ‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

What has the world come to? But he's 100% right. Preach on Brother Bill. 🥴 We need more elected Democrats to understand this.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

Thank you, Sen. Cortez Masto, for casting a principled vote on DHS funding given recent events. I appreciate your support for democracy. At the same time, we need you to go even further. ICE is not fixable, and we need your commitment to abolishing any agency inconsistent with the rule of law.

Thank you for standing up for America on this vote, Sen. Rosen. However "guardrails" cannot redeem the irredeemable. ICE cannot be reformed, it must be abolished. We need you to step up and meet the moment.

Really great thread about what's going on in the Twin Cities.

They just make up bullshit, bad-faith legal theories, do what they want until a court stops them, then lather, rinse, and repeat. In the meantime, they get to terrorize people. And nothing will happen to any of those responsible. Our courts are not equipped to deal with this.
