“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Outstanding conversation illuminating a critical issue. Rapidly growing electricity demand from AI and electrification is causing rapid inflation in customer rates, and Trump is hamstringing renewables, the only technologies that can be deployed quickly and cheaply. 1/

That UN speech … has there ever been a more nakedly entitled and unhinged speech to the world before our leader’s horrendous embarrassing self-aggrandizing speech to the UN? Please post here. Please. I need to be encouraged that we can continue after that embarrassment.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.

NO MORE MONEY IN POLITICS. Publicly funded elections, paid for with our tax dollars, fixed campaign periods depending on size of electorate, and independent redistricting every 10 years. Also term limits!! I would gladly pay a tax to end the never ending election season! And the CORRUPTION!

Ummm, at what point does the opposition actually DO something? God bless the TX dems for trying. And for all the epic speeches trying to gum up the works. But these politicians need to lead - they need to be with their constituents organizing and chipping away at this rot now.

First, Donald Trump blamed Zelenskyy for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Then, he says he “trusts” Putin. Now, he’s frozen bipartisan military aid. It’s clear that Donald Trump is putting his fragile ego before our national security — siding with Putin over U.S. allies in Europe.

The exquisite moral mathematics of our times: tens of billions in corporate welfare are a *necessary* investment, but a single dime spent on the infirm or elderly is reckless profligacy. The priesthood of austerity always demands its pound of flesh—from the poor, never the powerful.

NOT tax cuts. Enforce and strengthen tax law - eliminate loopholes. What is the purpose of this federal government? To tell people how to live and poke the international community in the eye. Every level headed legislator in the Federal Government needs to STAND UP! Trump can’t fire you, we can

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

Without federal support, American communities will struggle to deal with a challenge as pervasive as climate change, market analysts and environmental advocates say.
