Big oil and coal are paying Trump and the short sighted Republicans to kill all the green energy projects. China shames us with their progress. The only large country doing more poorly than us is Russia. Shameful.

South Korea has mandated solar canopies for large parking lots. It's a no-brainer. We could offer firms incentives to do it here, or they could just friggin' do it! (H/t @assaadrazzouk.bsky.social) Here's a little sumptin' I put together a while back...

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court permanently BLOCKS the administration from implementing part of Executive Order requiring documentary proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration application. A BIG VICTORY for our clients--DNC, DGA, DSCC, DCCC, Sen Schumer and Leader Jeffries--and all voters!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Remember how 20-year-olds barged into federal buildings and stole our most sensitive data? Shortly after, a masked army kidnapped hundreds of people and trafficked them to a concentration camp overseas. That secret police—along with the military—now occupies our cities. This is an attack on the U.S.

The Trump regime could tap into a $5 billion contingency fund to ensure people continue to be fed through SNAP. They are refusing. Republicans know the pain they’re causing to Americans—they do not care. The cruelty is the point.

Free Speech is American’s inalienable right!

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

My husband’s ballot came in the mail. Mine did not. I looked into why and… I was purged from the voting roll. PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION.

Home run closer in the wonderful @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's letter from last night:

I’ll continue to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day.

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed “wasteful.” Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. Talk about wasteful.

9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.

1. It’s not an administration; it’s a regime. 2. Trump isn’t a president; he’s a dictator 3. He isn’t negotiating with Putin; he’s plotting with Putin Words mean things

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief. This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it. Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Huh. It's almost like Trump Administration sources maybe aren't providing totally rock-solid information to reporters. Crazy, amirite? www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

We absolutely should not become numb to this

If we were a more serious country actually concerned about things like 🇺🇸 power, rising 🇨🇳, & <insert int'l security threat/issue ______," this would be a national crisis & a presidency-ending scandal. But since we just like to pretend we care about this stuff & glorify the military, here we are.

EXCLUSIVE: Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to "avoid scaring" the public.

We put people in jail because they lack cash. The United States is one of two countries in the world that has a for-profit commercial money bail industry that decides whether or not you go home to your family if you're charged with a crime. It's a debt-machine. Abolish bail.

Whoever did this wins the internet today. 🏆 Please pass it on! 🤣

Hey Anonymous; can you hack into the DOJ and release the Epstein files? Asking for a friend.

Words matter. These are not arrests, not deportations, not relocations. They are KIDNAPPINGS! Say what they are!!

We will never be silent. The Trump administration has placed 139 EPA staffers on leave after they signed a letter of dissent opposing the agency’s current direction and policies. Silencing experts won’t silence the truth.

❤️🤍💙

Be prepared for onslaught of lies & misinformation ramping up as Republicans attempt to sell their destructive tax cut bill. Can’t cut a trillion dollars from Americans healthcare/food assistance then increase debt ceiling $5 trillion & claim financial responsibility… apple.news/ARKN8_aP1SYi...

Today we celebrate freedom. But true freedom means more than fireworks and flags — it means the right to vote, to love who you love, to access healthcare, and to live without fear. Let’s keep fighting for an America that lives up to its promises. 🇺🇸 #July4th #FreedomForAll

If state election officials refuse to comply with Trump’s unlawful edict to share their voter rolls with Elon Musk, the attorney general could withhold law enforcement grants. “He’s going after the voter rolls in big cities, in blue states.” https://trib.al/S9evcf5

The thing I love most about Zohran Mamdani are his ideas for how to make working people’s lives better. I also love how those same ideas make the most greedy people alive utterly furious.

To the “I voted for this” crowd: You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters. That’s what you voted for?

Just remember & share. Probably sums up why people are hurt and cynical today.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

I saw this on Facebook, and I wish I could share it to the entire United States population. www.facebook.com/share/v/16jR...

After yesterday’s massive turnout at No Kings rallies, let’s remember to bring that same energy to the midterms. Please and thank you?
