Turning into a huge story and deservedly so as it cuts straight to the quick of what RFK & Co. claim to be doing at the CDC/HHS

Can you tell us about the U.S? I know that we are a mess... but looking for any bright spots.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Ely S. Parker (1860s) More, America: Twenty-Five (More) Founders of the United States of America

At the moment of surrender, Parker remembered, General Lee “stared at me for a moment… He extended his hand and said, ‘I am glad to see one real American here.’”

Parker took his hand and replied: “We are all Americans.”

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.

Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.

Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.

Wow. That's great!

GORSUCH: Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test?

SAUER: Ah, I think ... so. I have to think that through.

This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it.

But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote.
