In February, a man drove cross-country with a cache of weapons to a major Nevada-area power plant. His apparent attack failed, and he killed himself. He had literature popular with neo-Nazis, and his target had circulated in guides in the movement. Latest at SPLC: www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Clarence Thomas calling the companies that make mifepristone "criminal enterprises" is one of the clearest signs that extremely powerful people in government are cooking their brains in fascist propaganda all day every day. badfaithtimes.com/the-brains-w...

If you wanna see "actual malice," it's the core of Fox News programming. Judge Says Hell Yes Gavin Newsom Can Sue Fox News For Being Lying Liars www.wonkette.com/p/judge-says...

Well that's an interesting take. Completely false, but interesting.

Your regular reminder that MTG is a credulous, conspiracy-addled dope who is not qualified to be dog catcher, let alone a representative in a modern democracy.

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal. We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

GAVIN NEWSOM BROUGHT SALMON BACK TO THE KLAMATH RIVER

Attorney Kurt Olsen once worked to try to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss in court and was later sanctioned by judges for making baseless allegations about Arizona elections. He is now Trump’s director of election security and integrity.

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

This robot installs 80 panels/hour. One every 45 sec. 1,920/day ≈ 0.0008 GW/day per line. Sounds small. It’s not. Scale this across thousands of lines and #solar becomes manufacturing, not construction. 👉 10,000 lines = 8 GW/day. That’s HOW China is winning the energy game.

Again, the idea of hundreds of thousands of missing migrant kids is MADE UP. This whole thing came from a misinterpreted DHS OIG report that said that from 2019 to 2023 (half Trump, half Biden), ICE failed to start removal proceedings for 291,000 unaccompanied kids — not that they were "lost."

This is how I think about Platner, better than I have been able to say so far. So from now on, in all future Internet debates, I will just be quoting Dok at you.

Here's a thought: What if the clean energy industry, rather than Politely Calling for Moderate Bipartisan Progress, simply dumped a crapton of money into a couple of races, crushed a few of their enemies, and made the rest of the lawmakers afraid of them?

If you missed this thread in February 2026 I am repeating it here because recent events make it relevant again. The thread describes the distinctions I use to make sense of it all. For example: "the media" is not the same thing as "journalism," which is not the same as The Press."
