The more people who choose not to be accomplices to atrocities the better.

47 destroys things of national cultural and historical significance (East Wing, AID, Goddard, Rose Garden, Constitution, …) because in comparison they make utterly clear how small, petty, and insignificant his tacky gilded faux fancy flourishes and planned monuments to himself are.

Is this the wave of the future, or just another internet bubble poised to suck us dry?

I’ve lived in Canada and Norway and the U.S. The U.S. “health care system” is ludicrously bad and unfair in comparison. The general quality of life is lower as well. We pay more and get less. Must be a winning formula for somebody at everyone else’s expense.

Not allowing empirically verifiable facts to be stated does not make them go away. 47’s duck and cover presidency isn’t very inspiring.

Every month for the last 77 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated Americans' unemployment rate This streak dies tomorrow Govt staff could not survey Americans about whether they're working or looking for work in Oct, the 1st time in 934 months This blind spot will remain forever

Why can’t we have nice things like cheap, profitable, clean green tech? At every level, a choice had to be made (or sold or extorted) to NOT lead the world in this. At everyone’s ultimate expense. Beyond short-sighted and stupid. It’s not even good greed.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

UN Secretary General António Guterres declared the failure to limit global heating to 1.5°C a "moral failure and deadly negligence" at the #COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes. Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

What 47’s doing is not in reaction to an emergency—It IS the emergency.

If we don’t fix the climate, pollution, and nature crises, we can’t fix anything. They are already actively amplifying poverty, hunger, and division. They are what stand between all of us, regardless of geography or ideology, and the better future we all seek. That's why I'm convinced that ...

Vote! We do lots of school shows & see first hand the effects of voting up or down referendums. You get the best bang for your buck for your community and for everyone’s future when you vote to support kids and teachers and facilities and programs in your school districts. Vote for our future!

Lingering questions: If I (an HVAC company, say) buy and install the equipment and claim the tax credit, how long do I have to retain ownership? Can I sell it to you (the owner of the building I installed in) after one day? One year? Longer?

And once they’re burned they’re used up, except for their contribution to global warming. A ship packed with solar panels will weigh less and its cargo will keep producing energy for 30 years. Without emitting greenhouse gasses.

. Making EVs takes big energy, but after 2 years, they’re cleaner than gas-fueled cars, study finds | AP News Find out more: apnews.com/article/climate-... #ClimateAction

The sun shines just as well OboeBass! The US as in Australia. Seems like US policies on solar power are backwards and upside down to what they’ve figured out Down Under. The sun charges the same for its photons everywhere. $0 in perpetuity is a pretty good deal.

If you delete the SNAP contingency fund language from the USDA site, what you’re really saying is that you know that you could feed people and you’d rather not.

Manufacturing factory construction investment DOUBLED from 2021-2024. The IRA made clean energy cheaper to make, cheaper to use, and cheaper to build in America. Much of it now rolled back, energy will be more expensive for everyone for the next 10 years. It’s a crisis.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

All chicken coops will henceforth be guarded by ravenous foxes without oversight. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Prayers for Jamaica.

“Boo!”

Strongly feeling the attraction of this trend.

American higher education has produced a nation with the greatest educational, economic, technological and geopolitical prowess that the world has ever seen. Here's why we must radically change how it works in order to make conservatives happy.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

if your company has spare money lying around to put towards the funding of a ballroom, your company can pay more tax

Donald Trump did the same thing to the Constitution's Wall of Separation Between Church and State.

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

Moosewood Power! Doing the right thing leaves a good taste in your mouth!

Starbucks ALWAYS says my name. Maybe it's because I get MY drinks with NO ICE.

White House Halloween party idea: Have everyone in the admin. & their acolytes come as themselves. Hard to imagine a scarier costume collection than 47, Vance, Miller, Bondi, Hegseth, Patel, Vought, Kennedy, Johnson, Gabbard, & Kavanaugh, Thomas, Roberts, Alito, & Gorsuch of SCOTUS assembled.

More of this, please. The energy demand of data centers should not drive up residential utility costs. Beyond that, there should be a carbon tax on any energy they consume produced by fossil fuels.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you! But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.   It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Paul Simon, born today in 1941. “It’s a cliché,” he said, “but music really IS the closest we come to a universal language. It crosses borders as effortlessly as a cloud.”

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

It is worse than the fox guarding the chicken coop — it is the foxes lining up to protect the other foxes and coverup their wanton rampage through the chicken coop, hatchery, and razed free-range grazing grounds.

Hiding the truth and replacing it with illegal lies does not make the truth or laws go away.

Eat less meat. When dining out, try the vegan or veggie options you maybe wouldn’t fix at home. Gives you some variety and ideas and rewards restaurants that offer more climate-friendly meals.

This sounds like something worth emulating.

A baby has died of whooping cough in Mississippi amidst their worst pertussis outbreak in more than a decade. If you have a loved one with an infant or are near babies a lot, please consider getting a pertussis booster, as is recommended by legitimate science and healthcare professionals.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
