From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020): "Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern...The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait." www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

If you can do solar, do solar. This is the May report for my 3.6kW system (abt 44° N lat), 8 bifacial panels, east-west facing, on garage w/ some shadow bc trees are pretty much my ac (in other words, not the ideal). Use includes house & transportation ('22 Bolt EV). Next year, credits might end.

THIS is the best style of rack imo. Supports the wheel - no scraped paint. Offers good ability to lock. Little chance of tangles. Hi-lo stagger gives high capacity in relatively small space. And, for neighborhood or employee parking, bike hangar from @cyclehoop.bsky.social

Absolutely horrifying. Note that at the end of the piece we learn that the UN staff member was reportedly beaten to death, not shot from a distance.

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity. Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities! 🚨(202) 224-3121

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Media should absolutely strongly cover Trump insanity/crimes & his connections to the worldwide crime oligarchy network. Media should strongly examine why this criminal was allowed to go free during the four years a Dem admin held power. Both are vitally important. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

I think we should have Congressional dormitories where Congress members must live during their terms. Nice ,& comfy, with fancy conference rooms, gym, pool, etc., but no special Mike Johnson deals & not so comfy that you'd want to live there forever. Serve & go home. Work week = M -F.

Democrats should probably start acting as if a fascist regime was sending agents of the state to arrest them without warrants for political crimes—because that’s exactly what is happening.

It’s interesting that Bernie staffers who pushed populism were mostly ostracized, vilified & thrown out of Democratic politics, while Biden staffers who tried to cover up the cognitive decline that handed the presidency to Trump were celebrated, enriched & rewarded with media sinecures.

I really, really recommend everyone read this piece. It goes not only into the horrors of being hit by cars and what it does to communities, but also the bureaucratic nightmare it is to get any sort of redress for car related incidents. Every aspect of society is tilted to be pro-car, pro-driver.

Please read!! "But Democratic partisans insist the topic of Biden is irrelevant and we must disregard it. The root of their panic is not Biden, but Trump: namely, that the Biden administration refused to hold the Trump administration accountable. This is the disaster they do not want to discuss."
