One city's decision can inspire hundreds of others! Local climate action plans have been taking the nation by storm, and many US cities have invested in water management, renewable energy, sustainable housing, and more! See how local communities are creating their own solutions below. 👇👇

All you have to do is change the date.

Going on foreign soil and announcing, without *any* evidence that American elections are dishonest—simply because you are a lying sore loser—should be an impeachable offense. Presidents should not be allowed to intentionally undermine confidence in the US to leaders overseas.

“There will not be a magic day when we wake up and it’s now okay to express ourselves publicly. We make that day by doing things publicly until it’s simply the way things are.” — Sen. Tammy Baldwin 🌱📷

What a maroon.

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

Wow, Iran won. We expected it, but seeing the agreement, it's still shocking. Sanctions lifted? Blockade lifted? $300 billion in reparations? Status quo regarding Iran's nuclear program, i.e. the same promises? After 60 days, possible admission fees at the Strait of Hormuz? C'mon, impeach him.

All the Iran hawks said that the way to get rid of Iran’s hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles, and support for terrorism was to go to war with Iran. We went to war with Iran. And the hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles and terrorism aid are all still there.

No lies detected.

Libraries all across the country are recataloging The Art of the Deal as "Fiction."

Also, the nuclear materials aspect of the deal is deferred. It's a goal of the 60-day ongoing negotiations period to address it. But Iran has stated they won't give up the materials. So, Trump paid Iran now for something he will likely not even get later. Profoundly stupid.

So he can get eaten by a massive bug?

For a hard right-winger, she's refreshingly sensible and well-intentioned.

The Georgia legislature responded to the public shaming directed at Governor Kemp's gerrymandering bill proposal, and voted it down.

Egregiously overpriced sweetheart, no-bid contracts to companies owned by the Trump sons and son-in-law. Trump Tower Kharg.

A respectable Dutch still life homage. Note the eaten soft-boiled egg signifying both advancing age and mortality, the budgerigar perched on the seat back signifying neglect, the Delft porcelain signifying upper middle class, and the bizarrely misplaced spoon, signifying poor manners.

America's billionaires are now worth a record $9 trillion. Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire. People in this country can't afford gas, rent, groceries, or childcare. And last year we cut healthcare to give these billionaires tax breaks. This system is so broken.

Michelle Obama appreciation post just because.

Samuel L. Jackson really perfected the righteous indignation rant

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Not one Russian stopped to check on the driver, in case he was still alive.

As the state Secretary of State, Brian Kemp supervised his own election as governor. And then had all the ballots destroyed in the middle of the lawsuit alleging irregularities. As well as the backups. There's no dirty pool trick he won't play.

"[Donald Trump] has done things far worse than what the House Judiciary Committee in 1974 approved in the articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon. Republican senators ended up going to the White House, saying, 'You don't have 33 votes in the Senate, you're done. So you need to resign.'"

France has joined Germany in cancelling their Palantir contracts, becoming the 2nd country in as many weeks to do so — the UK appears poised to follow suit AOC: “Immediately investigate Palantir — (Thiel’s) secretive data mining company that has weaponized information against immigrant communities”

As we head into final 140 days or so until the midterms, I wanted to re up this resource list of left leaning, progressive funding sources in case you or someone you know could benefit from funds to further your work. Let's work #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy bsky.app/profile/digi...

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social Donald is a draft dodging idiot.

Just to be clear, the Majority Leader of the Senate sets its agenda. If the president wants to withdraw a nomination, he's free to do so. The Senate can wait for a better candidate; that shouldn't take long.

The Times: Yesterday, Trump said he is disillusioned with Israel’s war with Hezbollah in Lebanon; floats idea of Israeli withdrawal and letting the Syrian army take over. The last time the Syrian Army took over Lebanon, they instituted a decades long reign of terror. An appalling idea, all agree.

The Broadview Six have asked the judge who threw out DOJ's bogus allegations against them to appoint a special counsel to investigate the gross misconduct of the prosecutors, including tampering with evidence and altering grand jury documents.

Morning.

This is great! The Broadview Six call for a judge to appoint a special counsel to investigate for criminal contempt. "misconduct before a grand jury by prosecutors from the office of U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros." #Pinks #ProudBlue www.alternet.org/broadview-six/

"The DOJ is nothing but a blunt, brutal weapon, deployed to destroy people’s lives with laughable investigations and ginned-up charges. The indictment of 15 Minnesotans is meant to terrorize, not to fully and fairly lay out support for the charges." — @snipy.bsky.social

He doesn't have to make them.

Protesters Calling Attn to ICE Vehicles on NYC Sts "People who came here for a better life..who've never gotten a parking ticket, are getting kidnapped and held in inhumane conditions.

Since my discharge petition to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians successfully passed the House, we’ve been pressing hard to advance this fight. We're ready to double down in the Senate and defend the safety, dignity, & humanity of Haitian neighbors once & for all.

At least nine whales have been reported entangled in fishing gear off the U.S. West Coast so far this year. These entanglements can be prevented, and they should. That's why we are advocating for the widespread adoption of pop-up fishing gear to protect whales. Learn more: biodiv.us/4oAq5p9

The DOJ would like this scandal to go away. Let's see if the judge has other plans. www.notus.org/courts/broad...

It was easy to foresee BREXIT's failure, because the reasons for joining the EU hadn't changed. Economies of scale and process optimization yielded savings. Whatever immigration problems the UK had were caused by post-Empire obligations and Putin's wars. Blaming the EU was just scapegoating.

No, they didn't. They charged a Senate with convicting him when presented with evidence of these crimes. That strategy fails when the Senate is run by the president's co-conspirators in the #TrumpCrimeSyndicate.

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel poisoned the land in Lebanon, just as it did with the water wells in Palestine, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. Israel sprayed toxic and carcinogenic chemicals all over Lebanese agricultural land. This is a war crime and an act of genocide.” M. Safa

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

The most glaring problem in the MOU to be signed by the US and Iran in Geneva on the 19th is that it declares that each side's allies "are signing this MOU". Israel has not even been invited, and will not attend, let alone sign. #Fail 1/

Trump's ceasefire deal ends the mutual blockade. Iran gets unfrozen financial assets, and doesn't concede either nukes or military assets. The US gets nothing. From the outside, it looks like Iran flipped Trump's war and successfully extorted the US into surrendering. Expect no further progress.

Check back in 2 years.

He denies the evidence placed in front of him. That's proof enough he's unfit for office.
