Turn on the TV- see Dumpy, lying as always, turn it off again. Listening to his lies would only diminish me mentally.

Scientists have developed an electrode that can capture CO2 directly from flue gas & straight from the atmosphere, no purification required. The electrode process turns the CO₂ into formic acid, a weak acid currently used to preserve livestock feed & tan leather buff.ly/sUIzHlC #ShareGoodNewsToo

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.

One more, not Byzantine at all. AFTER THE DOWNFALL is a man-who-learned-better fantasy inspired by Andre Norton's WITCH WORLD. A German officer who magically escapes falling Berlin finds the world he lands in isn't what he thought at first. www.amazon.com/After-Downfa...

The waste generated from unsold clothes in Europe creates over 5 million tons of CO2 annually. This new rule would ban the destruction of unsold clothes and shoes, pushing companies to manage their stock better and focus on other options like reuse or donations. #goodnews

Sometimes when my eyes spring open at two am I reach for silly stuff to read me back to sleep. Last night it was my old copy of Bored of the Rings. Holy crom is it dated! Would anyone born after 1980 get any of the references?

Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA." To which I say: 1. Promise? Because it didn't happen last time. 2. Don't threaten me with a good time. #AbolishBillionaires

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Every day.

Look, when the day comes, it's going to be very hard to get some people to get off the "norms/turn the page" bandwagon, but the least, and already established, thing we can do is prosecute the fuck out of everyone for perjury. All these people have lied under oath. Start there, at the lowest bar.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations. May this set a precedent. Remote work should be accessible to all who need it. It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree? NOEM: A what? CROCKETT: A law degree NOEM: No I do no- CROCKETT: Okay

Ted Lieu to Kristi Noem: “I just showed you a video with ICE officers at a school drop-off location — your refusal to commit to stopping these operations at or near schools & drop-off locations is why you're failing — so I'm going to show you this video that encapsulates why you're failing”

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest? NOEM: No RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them? NOEM: No RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right

Wowza! Democrats are fired up everywhere!

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

We're up to three states now that trans people simply can't go to. Here's hoping we don't get to 50

Ah crap I’m late for couch

if the US government logs these trees at the rate / quantity they're proposing, we'll lose one of the last old-growth forests. there's no coming back from that. if you have five minutes to leave a comment pushing back against the BLM, please do; there's a guide to that below.

I’m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War you’ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven: “We will not get bored," Trump said on Monday, minutes before talking about how beautiful the White House drapes are.
