Manly warrior slop

But our manly warriors need no vaccines because they have manly strength from manly food prescribed by RFK Jr.

Mini EMP to knock out all smart “perv” glasses within 1/4 mile radius.

Trump is proud that he knows Tim Cook, and that Tim Cook sucks up to him. It makes Trump feel like a special boy.

They are still relitigating the last election instead of currently laying the groundwork for winning the next one.

And all of the candidates who need non-white supremacist, non-ableist, non-transphobic votes are very busy bashing the marginalized & disenfranchised.

That’s how you lose again.

Acoma governor denounces ‘Acoma LLC’ in Project Jupiter Pueblo of Acoma leader condemns unauthorized use of tribal name by AI power project, calls on New Mexico and public to act

“By wrapping itself in our name, this company sought to borrow our credibility, our deep connection to this land, and our reputation as careful stewards of our natural and cultural resources … a deliberate effort to appear locally rooted.”

AI data center project isn’t making any friends in NM.

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

Project Jupiter water-use claim rankles opponents and supporters Data-center developers plan to use nearly a million gallons of water per day, the N.M. Office of the State Engineer says.

A massive data center effort in NM, Project Jupiter, has provoked consternation across state law & policy domains. It's also a thirsty beast, with the Office of State Engineer estimating the project will use 1 million gallons/day—50 times more than the project’s developers have disclosed publicly.

All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.

Pope Leo on AI: "When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment... In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth."

Alex Trembath, the executive director of The Breakthrough Institute, a right wing troll group posturing as a reactionary centrist nuke & fossil fuel shill, stating that "Democrats could do themselves a big favor by cosponsoring this effort," referring to a bill introduced by Rep. Hageman (R-WY) that would try to shutdown climate liability lawsuits.

Full text of post from Hageman referenced by Trembath stating "Energy security is national security, and we will not self-sabotage our critical industries with a cascade of costly lawsuits and extreme penalties that jeopardize American drilling. I introduced the Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 to protect American energy from leftist legal crusades punishing lawful activity."

Ecomodern Abundance Hacks: "The right-wing ideologues on the Supreme Court struck down climate policy so we should shut the courthouse door to people & groups who fight for the climate."

*Also fucked up that so many proposed TechnoWonk energy policy reforms fixate on shutting the courthouse door to community & environmental groups while saying not a word about the fossil fuel industry's exploitation of political power, influence, & litigation to rig the whole system in their favor.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

Two core thoughts on this article:

1. SCOTUS has destroyed its own legitimacy. Chief Justice Roberts is the proximate cause.

2. Radical reform of SCOTUS (along w/other legislative & executive branch reforms) is an imperative to restore its legitimacy. Above any & all domain-specific policies.

NM-IPL has joined 72 other groups in signing a letter from the Western Environmental Law Center urging Democratic leaders to reject so-called “permitting reform” — legislation that would gut environmental protections and shut communities out of federal decision-making.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

Big Tech’s $300mn election war chest rattles Democrats Pro-industry campaign groups deploy millions amid growing public support for tighter regulation

Reminds me of the politics in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy, where Earth is dominated by “transnational” corporations that have subordinated the power of nation states. And the emergent risk of this moment’s politics.

Counteroffer: I'll only vote for whoever promises to throw it all into an active volcano.

73 western groups to Senate leadership: No deal with devil on permit reform - Western Environmental Law Center Contact: Erik Schlenker-Goodrich, Western Environmental Law Center, 575-751-0351, eriksg@westernlaw.org Today, 73 western community, conservation, faith, and Indigenous groups representing 2.6 million...

Trump & Congress hellbent on revoking protections from public lands, from Boundary Waters to the Upper Pecos Watershed to Greater Chaco = Groundwork to weaponize permitting reform to swiftly exploit these very same lands for extractive mining and fossil fuels.

Reposting due to what has been described as a Bluesky oopsy-poopsie today. Please enjoy 73 sweet-ass western groups speaking truth to power. Let's see if they listen.

Americans prioritize protecting the environment over economic growth, according to Gallup.

Also "The current 63% of U.S. adults who say the government is doing too little [to protect environment] is the highest level recorded since Gallup’s initial reading in 1992." news.gallup.com/poll/708413/...

The Little-Known Law Congress is Abusing to Sell Out Our Public Lands How lawmakers are clearing the way for mining and fossil fuel development across the western U.S. and Alaska.

The Senate just weaponized an arcane law called the Congressional Review Act to strip protections away from Minnesota's Boundary Waters.

The move puts one of the country’s most visited Wilderness Areas in danger of permanent pollution from a proposed sulfide-ore copper-nickel mine.​

Bluesky before Claude code/Bluesky after Claude code

Too many folks have swept aside ecological and community values and concerns in their zeal to permit energy, technology, and other extractive infrastructure and cede control of our future to energy and tech oligarchs.

Today, we threw down the gauntlet.

Votes like this remind us all that, because of the R-dominated math in the Senate, Congress cares little for our country's iconic heritage & most special places. It cares only whether the mining and extraction oligarch bosses keep pillaging the environment for profit & power.

To combat DEI, universities must practice affirmative action for conservative hires.

Watch Rep. Stansbury defend the Clean Air Act. Very compelling. She brings the 🔥.

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans.

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

I’ll also note: I appreciate the exchange. It pushes me to think with care and to ever seek to refine and strengthen what must ultimately be a people-centered, people-powered approach to the crises we face. We will only get through this together. 🙏🏼
