Clearly we are not in an energy emergency and the administration doesn't actually care about domestic factory production. They do care about oil company profits, though. apnews.com/article/clim...

Some rare good news coming out of Oklahoma. Apparently liberals are using parental rights laws written by maga to keep their kids from being taught lies embedded in the standards. Let's hope that the courts uphold that and don't say they can only be used by maga. www.yahoo.com/news/don-t-w...

Good idea. Clearly the felons in power will stop at nothing to destroy democracy.

If this passes the Senate, it appears that we are a dictatorship. Call your senators and demand that democracy is preserved.

At least some countries are protecting habitats for wildlife. The USA was once a leader in conservation but now we are beholden to billionaires and calls to drill. Encouraging about this reptile, though. www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/lon...

As a classroom teacher, I'd feel obligated to also teach the Vedas and the Quran, among others. I'd hope they are purchasing these texts as well. (Sudents might also be learning about the sins of mixing fibers in clothing, eating shellfish, getting tattoos, etc.) www.yahoo.com/news/us-pass...

Some good news on the energy front. Market forces show the value of clean energy. www.yahoo.com/news/us-pass...

It would be nice to read that the administration actually followed the law some day. There needs to be accountability for reckless disregard for the law. Here we see that carbon emissions are nowhere near the levels that we are supposed to be at. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/gre...

We are truly in the fictional George Orwell reality, forcing kids to believe partisan lies. We have become all that the United States one stood against. Our country is in shambles and so many are cheering this on. www.npr.org/2025/05/14/n...

A brief fact check seems to support this. Essentially the richest 1000 people in the country hold half the wealth. I believe that is more obscenely unbalanced than 1790's France.

Completely misleading title as this is an elegant example supporting Darwin's (and Wallace's) theory. With that said, the article is interesting. amp.abc.net.au/article/1051...

Interesting article! Too bad that funding for just about all such work is being gutted. Our leaders no longer care about anything beyond personal wealth and power which means our nation is now in a time of overwhelming poverty. theconversation.com/antarctica-h...

Tesla protests continued yesterday in Colorado. We need to keep up the pressure. Lots of honks in support (at least half of tge passing motorists) but also more people shouting obscenities in response as well.
