www.reuters.com/world/hungar... For the Log Cabin Republicans. For the ‘Gays for Trump’. For anyone who cares about rights, this is a roadmap of where the MAGA morons want to take America. Vote.

There are way too many things to be upset about these days, but I believe the destruction of public lands should be near the top of the list: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

16KwH solar panel system plus two batteries for whole house backup in. Waiting for the utility company to approve the connection and install a bi directional meter. So excited. Clean, green, free power that’s good for my pocket and the planet. Win, win. ☀️⚡️💚

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... What a hideous and cruel decision. Women will die as a result of this theocratic crusade. Vote. This is NOT America.

The climate and biodiversity costs to opening up roadless areas are astronomical. The roadless rule protects over half of Tongass National Forest, which is home to over 400 species of wildlife and stores more than 10% of the carbon accumulated by all national forests across the US.

NEW: Cheaper batteries mean near-24/365 solar is now economic☀️ We analysed 18 years of hourly insolation data at 12 places, to see how close to 24/365 electricity it was possible to get. The sunniest places get over 90% - and up to 99% - of the way... from just $100/MWh. 🧵

Our solar panels are being installed this morning. Aiming to be off grid by tomorrow. Battery back up. Governments can change the status quo by investing in renewables, by offering tax breaks to non polluting sources. We can change and heal the planet. Vote. ☀️⚡️💚

Never Quitting ‘Brokeback Mountain’ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/m... I still recall the first time. I was warned by a colleague, it’s a fantastic film, just make sure you walk in sunlight afterwards. How spot on he was. I’ve rarely cried as much as watching BM. Beyond poignant and a masterpiece.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Not in this house. Our 16KwH solar array and batteries going in Monday. We can stop this bullshit. We need tax subsidies and wholesale electrification now. Vote for people and planet. ⚡️☀️💚

This is insane. This land is our land. Not to be looted and pillaged by speculators and developers. We are witnessing a fire sale of the United States. Vote.

Powell: "What we're waiting for to reduce rates is to understand what will happen with really the tariff inflation... everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from tariffs, because somebody has to pay for them... some of it will fall on the consumer"

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Trump is just lame and a fraud. Surrounded by lame, talentless frauds. His regime is weak as it’s staffed by liars and grifters. America is strong. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 He and his enablers will be voted out in disgrace. History’s judgment is going to be harsh.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Good Morning, America! Time to Stand, Share, and Support. Get out if you can, share news of demonstrations in your area, and if you can’t get out - honk your horn or give a note of encouragement. It’s America’s Day - and we don’t do kings. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/bLaSXpqp__E?...

Planted toad lilies, white gaura, yellow lantana, Siberian irises, bee balm, sea hollies, milkweed, cardinal flowers. Saw my first hummingbird feasting on the yellow kniphofia this morning. Plants and pollinators = happy. 💚🌱

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... - 13m Americans make up the SBC. That’s less than 4% of the US. Wielding outsize influence in attempting to impose their theocratic beliefs on our democracy. 4%. Vote. This is not Gilead. It’s a democracy, not a theocracy. Unless we let fanatics take it.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.
