Looks like CNN is going to have to fire a lot of reporters

If we still have something approximating free and fair elections in 2026, this could mean something

"The breakneck pace of EPA’s regulatory rollback means that the agency likely hasn’t had time to construct an analytical framework on things like the health and mortality consequences of increased smog and soot stemming from the repeals...." www.eenews.net/articles/wha...

“The opposition to climate action is using anti-trans rhetoric to build its base” A new analysis shows 80% of anti-trans groups have financial links to the fossil fuel industry, @yessfun.com reports

When it’s time to throw in the towel.

“We’re detaining you, not arresting you” is such bullshit. Marines don’t belong policing civilians absent a declared insurrection. Full stop.

Why would environmentalists do this to us?

Exclusive: I have confirmed that the federal government is still refusing to process permit applications for land-based wind projects almost six months into the Trump administration. Not just offshore. It threatens untold billions of capital investments in the United States. via @heatmap.news

The clean energy transition would be so much easier if The Sun and Wind made money from providing fuel for electricity generation and used it to pay for lobbyists

worlds colliding

Trump’s EPA is moving to dismantle rules projected to save 30,000 lives & $275B annually. Experts say more smog, soot & toxins will follow, endangering public health, especially children. This isn’t deregulation. It’s deadly. Read the full story: buff.ly/InWl1uC #SaveEPA

People tell me I'm old, and I believe them because I often hurt my back just by sneezing

Given today's political realities/communications ecosystems, the single worst thing you can do is half-defend your policy priorities. And yet, you couldn't offer a more succinct description of how Democrats approach partisan politics.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

Sure, the core of our constitutional democracy seems important. But is defending it good politics?

The same city where civilian citizens will soon be killed by their own military will also host the Summer Olympics in 3 years

🚨 PHILLY VS. ICE 🚨 Five of our neighbors were kidnapped by ICE today. Folks have called for an *emergency protest* at the Federal Detention Center at 700 Arch St. beginning at 4pm. Come prepared, mask up, stay safe, raise hell. Let’s give these fascist monsters a real Philly welcome 🧊

In America, everyone gets to have an opinion about how women should dress and how progressives should protest

"Hell. Why stop there? Let's bring back chattel slavery!"

We're now 5 months into the Trump administration, and I am no closer to understanding what Democrats would be doing differently if they currently held the trifecta instead of the GOP. Yes, "at least we're not we're not Trump" is a *good* message. But I worry that it may not be a *winning* one.
