Amazon is using large Sunbelt Rentals Generators to charge their electric delivery vehicles
These generators are powered by diesel fuel
So they’re using diesel fuel, to charge their electric vehicles “to Go Green”
Someone make it make sense
Trump is at all-time lows on inflation across polls, with a net approval of -42 points.
Among independents, Donald Trump was favored by 10 points over Kamala Harris in 2024 on inflation. His net approval with that group is now -60 points—a 70-point shift away from him.
Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."
Either that or use the slogan "I told you so."
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Trump’s DOJ is still doing all they can to delay releasing the Epstein Files— around 50% of them are still missing. Oversight Dems will keep pursuing justice for survivors and get the files released.
‘How dare The Atlantic accuse me of drinking on the job. I’m gonna sue you as soon as I find some Tylenol and a couple Bloody Mary’s…’
Actor-author George Takei turns 89 today...
Takei brought enjoyment to so many thru his performances in Perry Mason, Black Sheep Squadron, the iconic Star Trek TOS/movies...
An American patriot, he & his family endured racially motivated internment camps of the 1940s...
Live longer, Mr. Takei!

Fox News: Tim Walz: “We've got a feeble-minded, trigger-happy president who plunged us into a war where no threat was present, with no clear objectives and no exit plan. We need to call that what it is. That's fascism.”

If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.
Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.
Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.
This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.
“I can think of no time in history when such blatant criminality was taking place in plain sight with zero consequence. This must change - not only in the interest of justice, but for the well being of mankind.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
Pay attention to the shifts in language. Notice that civil rights is now being called DEI and framed as racist against white people. Notice that the women’s rights movement is now being boiled down to feminism and framed as oppressive to men. 1/3
"Fewer releases mean fewer production jobs and fewer jobs in theaters. They also mean a reduction in consumer choice, as the combined studio is unlikely to compete against itself on any given weekend. It’s bad all around." @sonnybunch.bsky.social:

It's not consent if you make me afraid to say no.

This one speaks for itself. It's extremely difficult to agree to anything if you're afraid, and perpetrators know perfectly well the power they are weilding.

In a nutshell. 😊
Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Trump: "Whether you like them or not, Israel have proven to be a great ally of the U.S. Israel fights hard & knows how to win".
Here are examples of the GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING that the U.S. and Israel have undertaken in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Iran.
Netanyahu has dragged us into WAR!
Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli
It's called empathy.
Republicans do not have any.
