What is a "wind phone" @providencejournal.bsky.social

Stopping the financing matters.

Nancy Lavin seemed to be at a different forum than I was. "The ideological differences between the three gubernatorial challengers appeared minimal during the forum." #growsmartri @ricurrent.bsky.social

Worried they are holding birthright citizenship till the end means terrible news.

I was pleasantly surprised the other day when a contractor friend in a red county said that heat pumps are now simply the industry standard. Apparently they’ve outsold gas furnaces in the US for the past four years and are poised to overtake conventional AC. That’s really good news.

the story so far

The hood is fully off Alito “None of the..statements by..[Trump were] overtly racial..all expressed policy views that could rest on race-neutral justification” Kagan’s reply “The evidence..includes statements..so repellent and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print”

(And it has apparently been shadow-banned: mliebreich.substack.com/p/the-interv...)

Highly recommend @stealthisstory.bsky.social. What a delight to see and hear Amy Goodman

Renewables now account for just under half of all installed power capacity on the planet.

We need this for the Klan.

and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.

Excellent summary. And Landers is right, we want fighters not folders

SCOTUS rules in favor of cancer.

The Supreme Court's decision in the Temporary Protected Status case proves the Supreme Court *is* racist. They don't merely affirm Trump's racism, they endorse it. And while that's not "news" for anyone paying attention, it's still outrageous. My latest in @thenation.com

And the police are complicit

Come on RI. Can't we get this done

honestly, I think Trump should convert to Islam, just to see how many of them would follow.

Crimes against humanity Invenergy

That could be US exports if the Orange Doofus wasn’t destroying US EV capacity so his corrupt fossil fuel donors can sell more gasoline.

I know we’ve grown used to this garbage, but this is just an astounding thing for a U.S. president to say at a summit with the leaders of the world’s most powerful countries.

Lying liars gotta lie.

A notable finding: Almost two-thirds of the pedestrian deaths in 2025 occurred in “environmental justice” neighborhoods where there are higher concentrations of non-white or lower-income households.

Wow: the cover of today’s NY Post.

You have to be a psychopath to do what Israel is doing to both Gaza and Lebanon and believe it’s totally acceptable. Evacuating entire villages, bombing and bulldozing their homes, bombing occupied apartment buildings, killing hundreds of UN peacekeepers and Journalists, & women and children.

This morning scrolling Bluesky, there is nothing at all in my feed about Putin’s barbaric attack on the Ukraine’s holiest site, the UNESCO protected Lavra so I’m posting this here.

BREAKING NEWS: JOURNALIST FOUND SOMETHING OUT LAST YEAR, IS JUST NOW TELLING US. SOURCES REPORTING IT COINCIDENTALY COINCIDES WITH BOOK RELEASE

There is no bottom

It houses Ukraine’s oldest historical records. Nestor the Chronicler, famous Lavra monk, wrote Primary Chronicle here in the early 12th century, which is the foundational historical text for history of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia

There is no bottom in this administration

How much evidence is needed?

Safe and beautiful. Now dangerous and ugly

At least the Department of War is a truthful name

This is a big deal

The FULL quote.

Shame on RI

Nancy Mace finished fifth in her own home county of Charleston, lost the South Carolina governor's primary badly, conceded on Tuesday night, and then immediately endorsed Alan Wilson, the man she accused from the House floor of being complicit in sex crimes against women.

Democrats need to start asking these nominees the following four questions: 1. Who won the 2000 presidential election? 2. Who won the 2004 presidential election? 3. Who won the 2016 presidential election? 4. Who won the 2024 presidential election?

Hadn't considered this line up warning from Russian dissident: Vance-Trump ticket. Called "castling" in Russian. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

"To the Republican commentators who now think they have standing to lecture the Democrats about the morality of their chosen Senate candidate: nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope." The latest from me on Platner's primary win, only @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

Got a new survey from @magaziner.house.gov about suspending the gas tax, and there doesn't seem to be an option for WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING INCREASING DEMAND IN A SUPPLY SHORTAGE, YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS, YOU WERE STATE TREASURER FOR PETE'S SAKE. Anyway, I went with "No."

Border Czar Tom Homan said New York City was about to see its largest deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in response to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent legislative package that provides residents with added protections from federal authorities.

And you thought facism couldn't come here...

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Just want to say, I walked out of Cats because it was so dumb, boring and pointless.

If you approach the behavior of the Roberts Court like a social scientist, seeking a parsimonious account that need not reflect how they represent what they're doing, partisan advantage is apparently the only explanation consistent with their recent election law jurisprudence

The existence of non-subordinated women with college degrees has driven a substantial proportion of men completely fucking insane. It's not great.
