Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Atheists usually support both freedom of & from religion, because belief should NEVER be imposed. Theists often struggle with “freedom from” because they see their Faith as absolute truth, not optional. But freedom is a human right! If any god wants us to believe, it can speak to us directly!

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Some simple budget math: Give out $4 trillion in tax cuts and cut spending by $1 trillion, and you'll get a $3 trillion increase in the national debt. Denying these realities doesn't change them (and yes, the bond market has noticed).

Your daily reminder: Texas has a higher installed capacity of wind, solar and storage than California because it's a bigger state. As a proportion of total power demand, Texas has lower total clean power supply, and higher emissions intensity than California. ketanjoshi.co/2024/08/12/t...

Completely insane viewpoint. The insane president’s most important ally - the drug-addicted wealthiest man on earth - accused him of being a pedophile and said he should be impeached. Seems important! Seems like it tells us something about these men! Seems like it could have consequences!

"Few prominent figures talk more often about urban crime than the president himself, whose view of the city he grew up in seems frozen in the New York of Charles Bronson’s 1970s 'Death Wish' movies, in which an angry white man goes around the city blasting away at black and brown toughs."

The mistake that this President keeps making is failing to understand that cooperation with the rest of the world is a key ingredient in the international competitiveness of American manufacturing. Destroy that cooperation and you destroy American competitiveness and jobs.

The claim that we can decarbonize oil is simply fossil-fuel propaganda. It is a fiction that sustains an oppressive and deadly power— here the power of fossil capital. All the evidence says pretty clearly that carbon removal simply cannot scale up to 30 or 40 gt/yr.

It's hard to celebrate when someone like Elon Musk waltzes into the federal government, wrecks the place, and walks away seemingly with everything he wanted. But did he, though? In the end, Musk left defeated, humiliated, and widely despised. That’s no small thing. We should take the win.
