Exceptional Doctorow piece on the solar rollout, why it's unstoppable, & why many old downsides of solar aren't factors anymore. The entire material mining needed 4 a global solar transition = only 17% of the fossil fuel mining we do every year! & then we're done! doctorow.medium.com/https-plural...

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

This raid is disgusting, abominable behavior, traumatizing children and families in their homes. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Canada issues warning for citizens with gender-neutral passports travelling to U.S.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

In this moment of federal overreach and cruelty, it’s particularly important to know your rights. Washington state will always stand up for the rule of law.

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."

OK y'all. Democrats are holding strong and now IT'S OUR JOB TO HAVE THEIR BACKS and demand Republicans stop the Trump shutdown. Start here: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

Pope Leo in remarks to journalists tonight: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.” www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

"That medication, already purchased by a U.S.-taxpayer-funded program, was tantalizingly close — a little more than seven miles away. But it hadn’t reached the clinic where Suza was being treated because President Donald Trump’s suspension of foreign aid had thrown supply chains into chaos."

Conservatives have been telling me my entire life that the reason the second amendment exists is to prevent this exact situation. Every accusation is a projection.

You don’t have to read between the lines. Trump is literally saying, publicly and out loud, that he is at war — actual, military-involved war — with Americans and American cities he personally dislikes. That impeachment is politically off the table is a national scandal.

Hegseth's grasp at macho militarism, including pretty explicitly calling for soldiers to commit war crimes, reminded me of Barbara Ehrenreich's reaction to Abu Ghraib: "It is not enough to be equal to men when the men are acting like beasts."

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.

Why *are* white men so angry?

The vast percentage of roles in the modern US military are *not* in combat. Who cares if your mechanic can do 100 pushups? If your cook can run a sub-6 minute mile? If your intelligence analyst can deadlift 300 pounds? And who cares if your Sec of Defense is great at PT if he cannot think or lead?

Sharing. Because we need to know. Also because “John Brown Gun Club”.

Meanwhile, another Jan 6 defendant today asked for the court to order a reimbursement of the restitution he paid after his jury conviction If approved, this motion would shift more of the burden to taxpayers, to pay for the repairs and cleanup ===>

A huge win for trans people in California: the state legislature passed five bills protecting our rights! Now it's time to call on Governor Gavin Newsom to sign them. Contact him before October 12th: transfamilysos.org/action-neede... #TransRights #TransYouth #TransCalifornia

The number of cancelations Disney saw in the week after suspending Kimmel was 436% above baseline subscriber churn.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

If you're cis, trans people are your coalmine canary for a collection of civil liberties. BODILY AUTONOMY: does your body belong to you, or to your parents/husband/state? PRIVACY: do you owe everyone you meet a full medical history? EXPRESSION: to what extent is your clothing a legal matter?

This is one reason why encampment sweeps can actually prolong homelessness. If you toss out someone's psychiatric meds or birth certificate, you're taking away the tools they need to access services and housing. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/09/28/h...

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Part of what this reveals is what US labor has been arguing since the late 19th C. At will employment impedes political democracy. If u can lose ur livelihood for ur (non violent & non harassing) beliefs, then being an engaged citizen is all but impossible. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

Today Oregon’s message to Donald Trump was loud and clear: stay out.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

This is not only unconstitutional but also a colossal waste of resources. #1984

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

BREAKING NEWS: Oregon sues Trump administration over unlawful federalization of National Guard. Read more.

the daily caller published a call to violence of the left yesterday, a news organization that has connections to the heritage foundation

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Adams: *drops out* Jeffries: How can I make this development about me in the worst, most incomprehensible, most doomed way possible?

LOL "I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place... www.kgw.com/article/news...

Still trying to process what I saw in Broadview last night. DHS has no rules. Its agents went to war against people who were using their 1a rights. It's a high-risk protest environment and they want people scared and alone but I saw people angry and together, helping each other. I saw

So exhausting..

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

The Liberal Project spans centuries and is larger than any one country! The fight for individual liberties and true social virtue is not lost we have to reclaim our Truth!!!!

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Braids are a great way to keep your hair out of your face, especially when ICE teargasses you. Also they don’t get caught in a respirator. 10/10 would recommend.

Hey Washington, Oregon and California 👋 I think we should build feeds for cities and towns. I think we should use those feeds as a way for people to find eachother locally so that they can organize in person. I think a lot of people need ways to find community right now. I like @skyfeed.app

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.
