OMG! Aliènette's voice is pure honey.

Good point. But all we need to do to balance the budget is withhold fossil fuel subsidies – which was $7.3 trillion dollars last year. www.imf.org/en/blogs/art...

Read the book. The first Dune movie was a train wreck, devoid of the mesmerizing world that Frank Herbert imagined.

If every one of these warehouses had rooftop solar, they could create their own micro-grid – which is exactly what we need.

Staggering degree of corruption.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

Solidarity. #Resist

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

This rally was personal for many of us. We stood on that bridge knowing our grandparents, our parents, our elders marched that same ground fighting for the right to vote. This is not the end. This is the continuation of a fight for a democracy we deserve. #VotingRights https://bit.ly/3PbnBRb

California might be on its way to building one of the largest solar energy complexes in the world. If we do, we just might reach our goal of phasing out fossil fuels by 2045. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

CBS cancelled Colbert because he told the truth, about CBS bribing Trump and about every stupid and corrupt thing Trump has done. Colbert will be fine, but the First Amendment just had a huge chunk taken out of it. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

This is a start.

This is what democracy looks like!

"Today’s Republican Party no longer has any purpose other than achieving whatever Trump wants, which is making Trump richer and more powerful." - Robert Reich makes the point that the GOP is complicit in Trump's criminality. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

The Trump regime is using our tax dollars to fund 'Rededicate 250' in direct violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." - more from HCR: open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

You're definitely not going to hear Gov. Abbott brag about it, but for the first time ever, solar is set to generate more electricity than coal in Texas. Fortunately, clean energy momentum cannot be stopped. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

A widely overlooked strategy in addressing homelessness in U.S. cities – help people from becoming homeless in the first place. Unfortunately, my home city of San Francisco is setting a bad example with increased evictions. sfstandard.com/2026/05/18/l...

Contradicting the scare tactics of the Trump regime, undocumented workers are a vital part of the U.S. economy. And because of the ICE crackdown, we'll be losing $479 billion in lost tax revenue. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

China switched on the world’s largest open-sea offshore solar farm in late 2025. 2.3M panels. 2,934 steel platforms. Built offshore to survive force-11 gales & sea ice. Powers ~2.67M people. And yes… they’re farming fish underneath it too. Solar above. Food below. Fossils below both.

Johnson argues that Congressional Reps need a raise because $200K is not enough to support a family – he dares to say this to people working for minimum wage – at $7.25/hr x40 hrs/week = $15,080 a year.

Far Side

Sweeping changes in global agriculture are the only way we'll keeping feeding people as climate change progresses.

Good confession. It gives me hope that at least a few MAGA-minded people are waking up.

And requiring 5 times the power and water supplied to surrounding counties.

Dana Bash at the end giving credence to this “debate” is shocking. Whether to vaccinate your children against measles is NOT A LEGITIMATE POLICY DEBATE.

Irish writer and naturalist Dara McAnulty enfolds us in the earthly belonging that emerges when we feel ourselves flowing with the seasons. @emergencemagazine.bsky.social emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-th...

"A madman is in charge of American foreign policy — but almost no Republican member of Congress, no major CEO or university president or head of a major foundation, and certainly no member of Trump’s regime is willing to sound the alarm. They are all cowards." open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

HCR's review of civil rights history reminds us of how far we've come and laments how far we're sliding back under the Trump regime. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Buttigieg is a refreshing voice in the face of the chaos and corruption of the Trump regime.

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

Say it again: "They do not know the sleeping giant they have awakened."

Except in rare cases, energy sources like hydrogen and biofuels are not clean energy answers. Vienna's hydrogen bus failure underscores the point. cleantechnica.com/2026/05/06/v...

The necessary acceleration of climate science has opened our eyes to what earth needs to stay alive. qr.ae/pFrZXZ

The necessary acceleration of climate science has also opened a wider understanding of what earth needs to stay alive. qr.ae/pFrZXZ

Besides humbling U.S.'s economic growth, China is eclipsing our climate science (what's left of it, thanks to Trump). They're developing Earth observation systems in space that are key to measuring weather, wildfire, flood, drought, crop stress, and sea-level rise. cleantechnica.com/2026/05/07/s...

Counterintuitive as it seems, bigger, wetter storms caused by climate change may do more harm than good in the long run—leaving the land thirstier than ever before. qr.ae/pFredD

"We make myths out of celebrities, and throw ourselves at them, craving their attention and their blessing . . . This nation is perhaps the greatest myth of all. America is a story we tell ourselves.” - Ann Gelder we-talk-about-books.quora.com/Ann-Gelder-s...

The United States is going through a severe reality adjustment. For the first time in our nation's history, a political party in power has assumed an enemy position against United States citizens. Our government, has become the enemy of our people. Our citizens are caught off guard. - Catherine -

The book in 1976 and the TV miniseries in 1977, Roots was an awakening for white America, and a validation for Black America. Knoxville's ban is a sad statement about this country's racial regression.

All Roads Lead to the South - again. 61 years ago, the Freedom March from Selma to Montgomery helped push through the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Today's march in Selma begins that battle all over again.

Along with the mind-blowing level of corruption we already know about, Trump made more than 3,700 trades—over 40 a day— in the first quarter of 2026, totaling tens of millions of dollars and involving major companies that have dealings with his administration. -HCR open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

When the state is disenfranchising its Black voters, there's zero question why ROOTS was just banned in Knox County, Tennessee, schools. "Age-Appropriate" my ass. www.wbir.com/article/news...

An ideological architecture is emerging that sees women as reproductive vessels for a state-defined ideal, with federal policy bent toward forcing them into that role.

I agree. But, since the Trump regime has a lock on the DOJ, it's the states that will need to prosecute.

Christopher Armitage estimates that Trump's pardons – thousands of them – have netted him between $1.3 billion and $2 billion. @carmitage.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...
