Doesn’t much matter that you cannot post them…half the time I can’t view them anyway. Frustrating as hell. I’m glad to see it isn’t just me.

Who are we

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn b

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

This is scary shit

Are we not seeing where white supremacy gets us? These racists are dumbing down the country and ridding us of critical thinking. Shame on Congress for letting this happen. Grow a spine, a conscience and a respect for what our country is supposed to stand for.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Nothing left to say

Billions feel this way

A chart from Our World In Data, showing the shift away from coal power in the UK - nearly 70% of electricity production in the late 1980s, to less than 0.1% in 2025.

There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so.

But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging.

It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening.

The truth about Harmeet Dhillon, Trump's likely pick for attorney general She's now assistant AG for civil rights but is intent on reversing civil rights.

Harmeet Dhillon is the last person who should be running the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. She should never become attorney general — which means Trump will probably nominate her. Here's what you should know.

This administration should serve to dispel the notion of white supremacy. I’m over trying to understand Trump’s supporters. He tapped into a vein of bellicose racism and aggressive stupidity and we need to call it what it is. Thanks for your work.

The result has been something like an inverse caricature of Republican complaints about diversity, equity, and inclusion, a system in which the incompetent rise not because of their abilities but because of their sycophancy. Authoritarian regimes behave as the Trump administration is behaving—optimizing for political loyalty rather than competence. Merit, in short, has little to do with it. Hegseth is a prime example. Deeply unqualified for the job and convinced that brutality provides an easy path to victory, he has led the United States to the verge of a strategic defeat with a weaker adversary in Iran. The current cease-fire leaves Iran with a more hard-line government than before, one in total control of a shipping lane crucial to the world economy. The Islamic Republic is arguably in a stronger position today than it was when the war started, and probably in a stronger position than it was before Trump, in his first term, scrapped the Obama-era nuclear deal. On Sunday, Trump posted on his social network a refrain that he and his toadies seem to think is insightful: “If you import The Third World, you become The Third World!” This archaic social Darwinism is the ideological mortar of the Trump project. It fuses Hegseth’s disdain for diversity in the military’s senior leadership and valorization of brutality with the administration’s attack on birthright citizenship and its deployment of federal agents to occupy American cities. It is a worldview that would assume an easy victory against a country like Iran, especially with America’s new, “unwoke” military. Bigotry isn’t just inefficient, as the U.S. military discovered in the 1940s. It also makes you stupid.

Wrote about how Hegseth’s effort to resegregate the upper ranks of the US military ties into the larger MAGA project to restore hierarchies of race and gender: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Get the GOP on the record as cohorts in shame

Dems need to gather even if Johnson doesn’t convene. They can invite the press, rail against Trump, the Epstein Files and whatever the fuck Vance is doing in Hungary.
Make a move…any move.

Saudi Arabia just activated the largest single solar installation ever built — 300 square kilometers of Neom desert covered with 9 million panels generating clean electricity for 5 million homes from nothing but desert sunshine. The Neom Solar Mega-Complex Phase 2 covers a continuous 300-square-kilometer expanse of flat Tabuk Province desert with single-axis tracking bifacial panels that follow the sun from dawn to dusk, capturing direct overhead radiation on their upper face and reflected desert ground radiation on their lower face simultaneously. Located at 1,400 meters elevation where the atmosphere is thinner and solar radiation intensity 12 percent higher than sea level, the installation generates 4,200 megawatts at peak capacity — more than four nuclear reactors combined from a single desert site. Saudi Arabia's interior desert receives 3,200 hours of annual sunshine with virtually zero cloud cover, giving the installation a capacity factor of 32 percent — exceptionally high for any solar installation anywhere on Earth. The project required 28,000 workers over three years and 47 million tons of structural steel, with panels imported from Saudi Arabia's own new solar manufacturing plants rather than from overseas suppliers for the first time. Transmission infrastructure carries generated electricity 380 kilometers to Riyadh and Jeddah through a dedicated 500-kilovolt direct current line losing only 2.8 percent of energy over that distance. Saudi Arabia plans three additional mega-complexes of comparable scale by 2030, targeting 50 percent renewable electricity nationally from desert solar alone.

Stats in alt are interesting
Why do we drill baby drill? To help Saudis pay for this!

All members of congress should be forced to take a position on this, out loud. Silence is compliance.

All the Christian examples who attended CPAC…this is their gospel.

When do they quit digging?

The No Kings protests had over 8 million protestors. Zero deaths. 6 people shot with a BB gun by a Trump supporter.

The last time MAGAts had a protest, 2000 people showed up, 138 police injured, 15 were hospitalized, some with severe injuries and 5 people died as a result.

We are not the same.

8 million people peacefully took to the streets on Saturday and the Sunday AM shows led with Tom Homan spouting his normal shit….and they made sure to mention that people were arrested in Los Angeles. What does it take?

I'm updating the famous Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" to "May you live in incompetent times" to be more relevant to those of us living in the United States right now.

It's already far too much money for an out of control agency like ICE, which is despised by most of America.

If he goes near a health care discussion we must shame the media into asking direct questions.

Don’t let them gaslight you. This is from the NYPD’s official account

The time to address this possibility would have been in the lead up to thus war, so now it’s the world’s responsibility

I tuned into Sunday morning shows only to hear it be a footnote that 8 million people were on the streets. Instead they featured Tom Homan adding virtually nothing, but taking up valuable space. Back to tuning the lot of them out.

Those who still follow Trump after a staggering list of illegal, immoral and stupid behaviors are pretty much racists who identify with him.
