The future is renewables, not fossils, bc we have figured out how to harvest new sunshine at lower costs than digging or drilling to harvest old sunshine. ($.033/kW @ 20 year deals) Coal is not cost competitive & gas is close behind. No pollution is the bonus! www.latimes.com/environment/...

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

The fatalistic assumption that autocracy in the world is rising and democracy is declining was challenged forcefully in three different countries this past weekend. It's a moment worth celebrating. Read more: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/a-good-few...

I say it plainly: I do not celebrate Castro. I call Cuba what it is, an authoritarian regime, and I will fight for the Cuban families who fled it. Meanwhile, Ashley Moody backs deporting Cuban families back to the regime they escaped. #AngieforFlorida

Astonishing! During this morning's king tide, Miami crossed the threshold for "Major" flooding without a hurricane for the first time. This was the city's highest water level in 11 years, and 3rd-highest since 1994. Yellow highlights: 8 of 14 top spots are from king tides during the past 2 years.

I don't think anything can be built out of the current GOP.

Blizzard Passenger@blizzardpassenger.bsky.social

I agree, but I must admit that I wonder if the Republican Party can ever be that sort of reasonable, pro-democracy conservative party again. The upcoming generation of Republicans really only knows Trump. No policy chops. Just transgressive bigotries as political theater.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Again MAGA as a political movement must be DESTROYED. MAGA is an openly white supremacist movement that is fueled by cruelty and hate. They reject democracy and gave us the Jan 6 attack. It is the greatest threat to our democracy! Our Republic can NOT co-exist with MAGA!

If I were the Kennedy family I'd sue RFK Jr to stop using their last name. He is redefining the Kennedy legacy in a horrible way.

โ€œHeโ€™s not even an American.โ€ โ€œWe have a problem in this country, itโ€™s called Muslims.โ€ โ€œHe doesnโ€™t have a birth certificate.โ€ โ€œPerhaps it would be that where it says religion, it might have Muslim.โ€ Sound familiar to what Trump and Republicans are saying about Abdul El-Sayed right now?
