France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?

THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW!
Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇

In these dark times, we have one constant ray of sunshine in our lives. Our pets. Cherish them today and always.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
So it turns out paying people a living wage doesn’t collapse the economy; it’s almost like the rich have been lying to us to maintain their power over our lives.
Ughh I have to go into work in a few hours 😩
An illustrated white rabbit with red patches on their fur sits surrounded by three gloved hands: one holding a swab, another injecting a needle into the rabbit’s head, and a third applying makeup with a brush. The rabbit looks distressed. Text beneath reads, “I AM NOT A TEST SUBJECT.” The image critiques the use of animals in cosmetic and medical testing.
Painful and lethal toxicity tests on rabbits for cosmetic and personal care products are cruel and unnecessary. Safe and ethical alternatives like in vitro tests and computer simulations exist, which don't harm innocent animals.

You’re voting YES on a constitutional amendment that lets Virginia respond to rigged maps in red states. Without it, MAGA controls Congress through gerrymandering — not votes.
Early voting is open. April 21 is Election Day. #VirginiaVoteYes

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
Just a mama trying to hustle the hardest I can to ensure we don’t end up on the streets without a vehicle.
Every share means the world to me and helps relieve a little stress. Not a single spa package is the same and I promise you will NOT be disappointed.
