UCLA should not bend 'on their knees' to Trump in grant talks, Newsom says - www.latimes.com/california/s... Not how I’d put it, but yes! Also because state schools are public & any settlement would face endless lawsuits, it’s cheaper & smarter to fight Trump in court, where he keeps losing…

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America. newrepublic.com/post/201625/...

Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho. Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.

Why didn’t he just let the air out of her tires?

Why should Fox Business care about Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize? No reason except that Trump wants it and the Fox anchor is deeply committed to him. That’s it.

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do. Looking at you, all major news orgs.

This deserves a lot more attention. Who is Scott Leiendecker and where did he get the money to buy Dominion? Why did Dominion sell to him? @maddow.msnbc.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com

Hello @thirdactsocal.bsky.social and @thirdactactionslab.bsky.social

Letitia James is an American hero who's lived a life of service. Donald Trump is an American zero who's lived a life of crime.

Scary times! #ArlingtonVA @thirdactsocal.bsky.social

I live this story. substack.com/@mattlillywh...

83% of global energy demand growth was met by solar, too. This is why we celebrated Sun Day in September - to show that renewables are leading the way and leaving those who want to stop it, behind. ☀️

This is good news. It would be even better if Trump wasn't torpedoing the U.S. solar and wind industry and ceding the energy future to China. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"for the first half of 2025 renewable energy produced more electricity than coal. ... covered all the growth in demand for electricity so far this year, with room to spare." "fossil fuel emissions for producing electricity plateaued—even fell slightly ..."

This is what we get in Cheeto Mussolini's America. If you're poor, middle class, you're going to drink poison water. From the same folks that during the first administration rolled back the water protections that have been in place since the year I was born... I don't know what folks expected.

Distributed energy networks are far more secure for energy supply than centralised systems Energy security in the widest sense. What's not to like and why do the Right seem to like the more controlling centralised systems? Maybe they have shares in them!!

Just noting that this reporting is from the correspondent for that radical rag...The Economist

For all of the (manufactured) passion about the quality of labor statistics, Trump administration has left the BLS leaderless for months, is no closer to a replacement, and has left many of the leadership posts within the organization empty. And no-one is allowed to come to work right now, either.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

what would happen if you got like 10 people together to dress up like ICE slobs and just show up where they go and LARP with them and be a general pain in the ass to them helping people flee and shit

Donny and Pete bombed so badly with the Generals this week they had to blow up another fishing boat just to feel better about themselves.

Oil is poison and our addiction to it is destroying our world.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Hmm. With solar energy, the big explosions take place 93 million miles away

As Russia is discovering, a drone can wreck an oil refinery Not so much a solar farm, since silicon doesn't explode billmckibben.substack.com/p/its-hard-t...

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

If a high-ranking elected official can be detained in broad daylight, no one is immune from this regime’s authoritarian overreach. Let’s stand together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption — and remind Trump and his enablers that there are NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Here's our commitment to you: every week we get on the What's The Plan zoom, take your questions, and talk like real humans about all the crazy shit that's happening. We don't have all the answers and we don't pretend to, but we're gonna give you our best takes. Join us!!!

We’re two weeks away from the largest day of peaceful protest in American history. No matter where you live, there’s probably a No Kings Day event happening near you to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

reminder that this directive functionally massively discriminates against Black men and should be understood as part of an ongoing campaign to resegregate the military www.military.com/daily-news/2...

It really does not get more explicit than Trump telling top active-duty military generals that they will need to participate in occupations of large cities run by his political opponents as part of his "war from within"

Any spending deal must protect healthcare, reject blank checks for authoritarianism, and actually serve the people. Democrats are at the table and ready to end the shutdown and meet the demands of their constituents. It’s now up to the Republicans: Fund healthcare or keep the government shut down?

A serving member of the military might be court-martialed for saying in public what Trump did here. (The entire *point* of super-quiet submarines is that adversaries do not know where they are. Navy goes to extreme lengths to conceal any clues to their location.)
