HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.
This is what happens when the corrupt fossil fuel industry’s emissions add zettajoules of excess heat to the oceans (look it up).
People keep talking about e-bikes, e-trikes, e-scooters, and other power-assisted mobility like they are toys, shortcuts, or something to sneer at. But for a lot of people they are freedom machines. They turn impossible trips into possible ones. They turn pain into manageability, distance into
“We have lost so many exceptional scientists and other employees of HHS…the just decades of institutional knowledge that we have lost is absolutely devastating”.
This was my comment about RFK Jr. saying that HHS is now hiring thousands of people after firing thousands of brilliant scientists.
99.7% of EVs will never need a battery replacement.
Petrolheads can keep parroting “what about the battery?” all day.
The real-world data says otherwise.
Tracking thousands of EVs built since 2022: Just 0.3% have needed a battery replacement (outside recalls).
That’s 99.7% still running fine.
Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius)…avian architects … they use their beaks to sew plant leafs together with plant fibers, spider silk, or insect cocoons…tropical Asia. #birds #nature #wildlife #photo #ecology
No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.
Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.
Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.
Protesters gathered in Trafalgar Square as it filled with voices condemning ICE terror From London, a clear message rang out state violence will not be ignored. When abuse goes unchecked, the world responds. Solidarity doesn't stop at borders.🇬🇧
So Trump just abruptly
fired the Secretary of the Navy
Which means
He questioned killing innocent fisherman in the Caribbean
Or
Expressed concern about the possibility of activating nuclear codes to the ready mode without a valid predicate
Look for Dan “raisin”Caine to be axed next

Science alert: 3D view of ongoing fires & smoke plumes explain why the smell of smoke is usually more potent in the morning.
The US is off to its fastest fire season since at least 2012. Several large fires 🔥 are burning across Florida and Georgia. But wait, there’s more… 1/
HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
Jewish MP Gerald Kaufmann in Parliament in 2009.
"My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her town, a German soldier shot her dead."
"My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."
Sadly I've seen public place shootings in two non American countries being reported on just in the last week.
American Idiocracy is spreading.
Stay safe out there.
In Memphis, Tennessee, Elon Musk’s xAI operates over two dozen methane gas-burning turbines without legal permits to power its data centers, Colossus 1 and Colossus 2, polluting the nation’s largest majority-Black city with toxic emissions.
Anyone who mocks Ocasio-Cortez for being a bartender - rather than seeing those skills are a significant part of her arsenal - is the sort of person who's never in their life gotten a free drink.
We need a future that excludes right wingers as much as realistically possible because all they do is hold science and culture back.
The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

In Minnesota, we’re tackling climate change by putting our state on a path to 100% clean energy by 2040 - all while supporting sustainable agriculture and the green energy jobs of the future right here at home.
In my Mayoral Renter's Survey, thousands of Seattle renters told me that their landlords use Ratio Utility Billing Systems, and my own apartment building recently switched to RUBS too. Thank you to all the tenants organizing for affordability and accountability.

In Maine, state legislators recently passed a first-in-the-country statewide moratorium on large data centers.
RFK Jr looks like an old ass baseball glove that was left in the oven too long.
Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon.
They've released smog into the air in Memphis.
And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks.
Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?
For those who keep count of such things. So much turnover in senior ranks would be taken in any administration as a sign of severe crisis and dysfunction.
