As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help

america's reactionaries would love nothing more to nullify the reconstruction amendments and render them a dead letter of the constitution. this was as true in 1873 as it is today.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Did @stephruhle.bsky.social sign a contract to mention the Milken conference multiple times per show every day for a week? Also seems like a collective choice to have a junk bond scam artist regain this perch in Big Finance. In 30 years will there be a Jeffrey Epstein Networking Conference?

Researchers in Hong Kong developed a nasal spray for rapid stroke intervention. The system uses nanotechnology to deliver neuroprotective drugs directly to the brain and reduce neuronal damage during the emergency stage.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social Get that map changed now!!!

😕🇺🇸 Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels in much of the world. They cut emissions, create jobs, strengthen energy independence, and help protect our planet. They’re scalable and abundant. The question is no longer whether we can do this. It’s why we aren’t.

Love this! Going to miss moments like this with @colbertlateshow

My mind boggles at the people who are still saying, "But, but, the rules say...but but but...the process is..." Listen, Republicans don't care. They make shit up, bend the rules, ignore them, change them at will. Democrats have the majority in VA. Use your powers, be creative, & implement the map.

Yesterday, Trump pointed at Rachel Scott of ABC News and said "she's a bitch" after Ms. Scott asked him about rising gas prices. It will be old news by close of business today. Once again: Trump is held to a different standard by legacy media.

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

The Virginia redistricting ruling is real, and the structural headwinds are real. But so is the path forward. What today's ruling actually means, what the right will lie about, and why the only answer is the oldest one in politics — persuasion, coalition, show up. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Spanberger should pull a DeSantis and ram through the map. If Republicans can do it, why not the rest of us?

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

With the current rate of shitty court decisions @strictscrutiny.bsky.social has no choice but to stop doing emergency episodes and move to a 24/7 livestream with @profmmurray.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social and @leahlitman.bsky.social working in shifts.

There it is

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

NASA reminded us all that, even in the darkest of times, our flag is still there. 🇺🇸 ❤️

The NYT editorial board is influential enough that if it called for Trump to be removed from office or — second best — to stop the war, it might actually have a positive effect on the political discourse. Instead we get this weak shit: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/o...

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

Marge not holding back

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

This has so quickly become conventional wisdom that the NYT doesn't even feel the need to attribute it. The original article attributes it to "extensive interviews." Hmmph. And this article makes it sound like Vance made his concerns public, which of course he didn't. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/u...

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback. Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project. America is fed up with data centers.

Q: As of today, who controls the Strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: We expect that the strait will be opened immediately Q: Who controls the strait right now? LEAVITT: *refuses to answer*

@chrislhayes.bsky.social I was reading about all the scheduling and personnel changes at MS NOW and when I saw your name I had a millisecond of a freak out, then I saw that you would be back on Mondays and was THRILLED! Sorry if that means less time with family, but your voters are thrilled!

@nicollewallace.bsky.social please have @timothysnyder.bsky.social back on your show in the near future. This post reminded me of why we need to hear from him!

@profgalloway.com I really do respect you and think many of your opinions and insights are spot on, but I think you have some blinders on when it comes to Israel. There is evidence that Israel influenced Trump, not the other way around. Please read this www.huffpost.com/entry/nation...

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:
