With 150GW solar, India achieved its target of having 50% of its total installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, reaching this milestone 5 years ahead of its original 2030 deadline set under the Paris Agreement www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/10/i...
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?
They are trying so hard to stop this from happening
Anything short of Medicare for All is just tweaking around the edges of our current system.
The harsh reality is that for patients our current system is "don't get sick and if you do, die quickly" and for insurers the plan is "collect money, delay and deny care until the patients die."
Rumor has it that the @DNC Resolutions Committee yesterday adopted a call for a 21C Economic Bill of Rights, as articulated here by Alan Minsky and me… Please read this… www.commondreams.org/opinion/econ...
Everyone needs to be talking about how we will pay the price for DOGE’s data theft if they are not held accountable.
This dude is the US Senator from the state that has most benefited from Nazi scientists
lmao just warmed over gobbledygook about how Millenials don't want pensions because we want to be contractors for Uber
House Democrats tried to pass legislation aimed at stopping Trump’s illegal war with Iran — and the GOP wouldn’t allow a vote.
Republicans know this war is indefensible. Urge your elected officials to keep fighting to reclaim Congress’ power and end Trump’s war:

Shhhh guys don't tell the Republican Party.
@wvdemocrats.bsky.social if there's an issue where the Republican leadership in this state is more out of step with the residents, I don't know what it is. And they're pretty out of step on MOST issues from chilccare to eldercare and all points in between
Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
You don’t get farmland back from data centers.
Would you trade farmland in your community for a data center?
They tell you to “do your research.”
But what happens when the information is hidden on purpose?
Preemptively cutting 'optional' Medicaid programs in anticipation of cuts is going to disproportionately harm marginalized people! Democrats COULD have increased the scope of federal funding mandates to make these core programs, and they didn't.
The state’s medical marijuana fund has accumulated to $38 million, after years of not being spent due to legal concerns. After the governor vetoed a bill to spend it, the state Treasurer is spending it now.

*sigh* yah he could be stupid or he could be doing favors for his campaign donors who own the energy that just went up in prices and the Silicon Valley folks who want to use AI drones for minesweeping.
"Running government like a business" has been a complete fiasco
Social Security has fewer staff now than it did in 1967 — even as it serves over 50 million more people.
Why?
Donald Trump, DOGE, and years of underfunding from Congressional Republicans.
They don't want you to get the benefits you've earned.
In defense of pre-"enlightenment" times
Peasants lived their whole lives without a whole system that put them into debt while also shaming them about flossing
How are you doing?
*Insert meme here*
It's just a normal American district, to be fair
what could go wrong handing our domestic food supply production over to people who brag about never having any introspection about anything
Electricity rates “increased significantly” in nearly every U.S. state in 2025, with residents in a dozen states seeing at least a 10% jump, according to a congressional report released by Democrats Tuesday, reports @ashleymurray.bsky.social.
"President of the United States freed every single perpetrator of those crimes" @trahan.house.gov said of actual Medicaid and Medicare fraudsters at a committee hearing on supposed fraud. New from me at @motherjones.com.

does that mean they can't know whether immigrant kids are also getting private school vouchers?
