Try as they might, renewables are gaining momentum.
"Last month, fossil fuels generated less electricity than in any March going back at least 25 years, while renewables generated more."

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
Apple is closing its first unionized store in the country.
Reminder that Apple spent $700B+ on stock buybacks over the past decade.
CEO Tim Cook raked in over $74M in compensation in 2025 β 650 times the median Apple employee's pay.
The greed of union-busters knows no end.
Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.
BERNIE: βThe time is long overdue for members of Congress to listen to the American people and end US military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government.β

Peacock Butterfly (Aglais io): This colourful butterfly species is native to temperate Asia and Europe, it has a wingspan of 55mm (2.16in) and hibernates in trees or buildings during winter, it can use its eye-spots as an anti-predator deterrent. Beautiful photo taken by Ellena Bailey in the UK.
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?
WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'
IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated
W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?
Nailed it. Except that it's a regime as opposed to an administration.
Including cancer research for kids.
Total dirt bags.
Today's press conference: We pulled of a risky rescue and we're going to tell the world exactly how we did it. Our administration leaked about the second airman, endangering his life. We're super good at endangering more lives to clean up messes of our own making.
Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...
There is something you can do about all of this β make your plans for May 1. This country needs a united show of power, energy, and hope.

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
This is so wrong!!!!!
1. This is what America looks like with a President who is both a sociopath AND losing his mind.
2. Itβs a good time to remind every member of the U.S. military they swore an oath to the Constitution, not an individual, and they have a duty/they are legally obligated to disobey illegal orders.
A U.S. Army staff sergeant and his wife arrived at his base in Louisiana last week, ready to start their new life together. Instead, ICE detained her.
She was brought to the U.S. as a toddler. People like her should be citizens, not treated like criminals.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
Newly obtained video footage that shows an immigration officer shooting and injuring Venezuelan immigrant Julio Sosa-CelisΒ contradicts the officer's claims that he was brutally beaten with a shovel, showing no evidence of its presence.
SaveUSFS.org is live. This week weβre going after six major outdoor brands. Companies that have spoken out for public lands before. Companies that built their whole identity around wild places. We need them to speak out again.
Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.
This man is still serving in Congress with the support of Mike Johnson.
Join us again tomorrow Tuesday at H Street and 16th St by Lafayette Park from 3-5pm.
Congress returns next week.
Keep calling your members of Congress and tell them to support a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.
