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?

Happy Tax Day, New York. Weβre taxing the rich.
Our economy is toast. We still have almost 3 more years of this- just think how much more destruction he and the feckless republican congress can wrought on the economy in that time. When he leaves office, Americansβ standards of living will be decimated.
This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. π₯π₯

As someone who lives in the Coachella Valley, thank you! I know the state has promised many times to take care of the shrinking salt sea issue but does not come through. Hopefully this time is different π
The next step is getting out the vote for a blue tsunami in the midterms. The fascist Republican administration and cowed Republican Congress is going to try to subvert our vote, but we will fight that and show up at the polls in record numbers! πππ
Mullin's confirmation doesn't change the fact that Trump's agents executed two Americans in broad daylightβor fix the issues at Trump's DHS.
And a pinky promise that ICE and CBP will stop terrorizing our neighborhoods isn't good enough.
We need serious reforms passed into law.
Trump has shown us over and over what a disgusting, morally corrupt scumbag he is. But the real issue is that many Americans still support him. What can we do about that? How do we move forward as a country after Trump and the Republicans destroy democracy, the environment, the economy, etc.?

Many Trump voters sold their soul to the devil in expectation of riches. Not only is Trump destroying democracy, the environment, healthcare, common decency, etc. but heβs also destroying the economy: Inflation up, growth down & stagflation coming.

Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
βI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,β said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. βIt was such a shock."
Trump, his big oil allies and the military industrial complex are a marriage made in hell for the rest of us.

The Republican & Trump administrationβs destruction of everything in America: democracy, economy, environment, healthcare, education & science, international relations, civil & personal rights, justice, security, ethics / common decency, etc. will take democratic administrations years to clean up!
Why has Trump started this illegal war with Iran? Itβs because Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar want a regime change in Iran and have bribed Trump with billions of dollars to make it happen. Oh, and the oil of course.

Thank you, Bob! Have a wonderful weekend! π€π€
A Jeff Bezos bribe.
Exactly! Bottom line, the oligarchs do not care about democracy, civil rights, the environment, income equality or the rest of us; Just as long as they can operate above the law, continue to consume all our resources and make billions more.

Itβs simple: they live in fear & a scarcity mindset but you live in hope & an abundance mindset.
And itβs time for blue regions of the country to seriously consider secession and/or looking into a different federal system of government like a more loosely affiliated state system similar to the EU. This rot runs deep in the entire Republican Party and their supporters. We are two countries.
The fascist, corruption going on in this country is being supported by the entire Republican Party and their supporters. The only solution at this point is to split the country and implement a loosely affiliated state system similar to the EU.

The fascist corruption runs deep in the republican party. We need to focus on weakening the federal government & moving towards a more loosely affiliated union of states; Similar to the EU & the original Articles of Confederation. Abolish SCOTUS & Senate. We canβt go back.

Future administrations need to focus on weakening the federal government & becoming a more loosely system of affiliated states. Similar to the original Articles of Confederation & the EU. Abolish SCOTUS & Senate. There is no coming back from this fascist corruption supported by republican voters.
Once this regime is deposed, America will never be the same. Republicans and their supporters have gone beyond redemption. We need to focus on becoming a very loosely affiliated state system with a weak federal government. Similar to the original Articles of Confederation.

Yes, that would be a great place to start π
