but this country? the promise of this country? the promise of this country is that it doesn't matter where you're from. it doesn't matter what your blood is. it doesn't matter your race or color or creed or gender or sex. there is a life for you here.

After all, these are the same companies that brought us laptops for 5th graders and therefore an end to reading whole books on paper. How has that served us 15 years on? Not even mentioning social media and phones. But at least there, the lawsuits are coming.

FIFA is insanely corrupt organization that will put their thumb on the scale when convenient?

Cape Verde you are the winners of this game. What a performance!

I'm so tired of this loser energy.

We, as a nation, are collectively missing a great opportunity to get RFK Jr to drink from the reflecting pool.

This is the part that kills me about so many leftists. They think of the party as management and themselves as labor, when they should be treating the party as a coop.

At least it is interesting to watch in real time the transition between VBNMW being an overture to the pro-Platner left, to just becoming more evidence of the liberal moral rot as the leftists pretend they never supported him in the first place.

I'm sorry, I legit do not understand why so many people have made Platner this martyr figure for progressivism when he is, by all accounts, just a dude with no political experience or history of activism who also seems deeply shitty and will likely lose?

I dont need idiot trans teens on the internet to like me in order to defend their human rights. Trans rights are non-negotiable, period. We will never give that up.

1) things are significantly better when democrats are in power, even if not a communist paradise or whatever. fewer people will suffer and die. 2) the refusal to vote for democrats unless every demand is met just makes you seen as an unreliable coalition partner. coalitions involve compromise

Much like “orange man bad,” “vote blue no matter who” gets mocked endlessly as politically naive but is entirely and unimpeachably correct in a way that more sophisticated political philosophies never are

It seems "Earn Our Votes" simply amounts to denouncing Israel and promising huge things with no expectations of backing it all up.

Saw that coming from 1,000 miles away.

What happened on the National Mall — a day-long prayer rally billed as a “rededication of our country as One Nation under God” — was a constitutional abomination in layers of blasphemy and demagoguery. It was grotesque. It was appalling and profoundly un-American. open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

I don’t understand the seemingly widespread belief that trans people will have more rights under communism. I mean, not so far!

Men you gotta get your heads out of your asses and grow up.

As I've said before, the Roberts court has badly miscalculated if it thinks the law can be used to defeat liberalism. The attempt to do so will only invalidate the law.

Life before modern medicine is summed up in four words: half the children died.

What stupid bullshit, Puerto Rico is America and America is Puerto Rico. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

john roberts has fulfilled his life's work and fully dismantled the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. these fucking neo-confederate freaks need to be driven from power forever

remember who you are, liberal

Liberalism is an ideology of liberation - from caste, irrational tradition, ancient prejudice, and the eternal tendency of the powerful to abuse the powerless for their enrichment and pleasure. It’s an ideology worth fighting and dying on barricades for, and millions have. Don’t waste their lives

THREAD: The IEA global energy review 2026 * CO2 record high, but growth nearly ground to halt * Clean energy shaved 3bn tonnes off CO2 * Fossil-fuel power pushed into reverse * Age of Electricity "confirmed" * "Extraordinary" solar growth * Batteries up 40% * EVs up 20% 1/10

New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/17/n... @nduic.bsky.social @brianvad.bsky.social @profstrachan.bsky.social @michael-sterner.bsky.social @jeroahola.bsky.social @drpauldorfman.bsky.social @aukehoekstra.bsky.social @mzjacobson.bsky.social

*grabs megaphone* THE SINGLE BIGGEST DETERMINANT OF HOW MANY RIGHTS TRANS PEOPLE HAVE IS WHETHER DEMOCRATS WIN

As Trump tries to take us back to the 1880s, Australia is starting to provide its citizens with free electricity thanks to its abundant solar power. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Slava Ukraini, bless those crazy brave people.

because everything the republicans does is antagonistic to the good of the country and they can only win by cheating and deceit.

Orban had been in power for 16 years, changed the constitution, was able to jail a previous opponent and controls the courts. AND HE STILL LOST. Republicans do not have even a tenth of that power

When it comes to the energy transition I'm a glass half full person. I know: plenty of people would say that's terribly naive. They point to the scale of the challenge. They point to vested interests. They point to hard-to-abate sectors. And they're not wrong. But here's what they miss. 🧵

Remember when the Kent State protesters were killed and then all the Vietnam protesters said "never mind" and taped their draft cards back together

Because it was playtime, dressing up having a lot of fun meeting a lot of new people. Feeling so self-righteous. Turned much of the country against the very cause they were demonstrating for. Same types who went after Hillary Clinton on Bernie’s behalf. Ignoring Trump. Again, self-righteous.

I don't think Kamala Harris would've threatened to commit genocide in Iran on a random Tuesday morning a month after starting an unwinnable war with them for no reason

How can you not be romantic about manned spaceflight

Most homes have the power they need to switch to electric appliances, even if they don’t realize it.

"At least I have principles," they say smugly as 500,000 people die in 12 months from USAID cuts alone

Sorry but you are way too humanities brained if you think space colonization is problematic because earth colonization was often accompanied by bad stuff. There are no people on the moon. The bad things involving colonization were the things they did to people living there. There are no people there

Four astronauts and a nation’s starry-eyed ambitions are now on course for a fateful lunar rendezvous. They will not land on the moon. But across 10 days in space, the crew will follow a looping path that slings them well beyond the moon’s far side before it returns them to Earth.

Proud of NASA <3

Perhaps the reason things have "vaguely felt bad" for the last 5 years is because you are literally holding a bad vibes generator in your hand all day, and it contains a million people all telling you that if you don't admit things are bad, you're a bad person who will be perceived as out-of-touch

This looks like a complicated chart, but in fact it's some of the simplest and best news imaginable: batteries are quickly turning night into noon. Worth a read if I say so myself open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Terrible attitude! Wrong!

I’m showing up for No Kings Day on March 28th because in this country, the people lead, not a single ruler. Democracy only works if we show up to claim it. Our voices carry the power; let’s use them to shape our future together.
