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?

ICYMI: A Republican sheriff in California seized over 650,000 ballots cast in last year’s voter-approved redistricting referendum.

Election lawyer Marc Elias explains how this fits into Trump’s plan to subvert the 2026 midterm elections.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

What if I simply went outside and shot the snow with a gun

Name them

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.
