Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday. We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones. We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

The Knicks are technically the first team to win the double right? Surprised no one is saying that. NBA Cup and Championship in the same season.

As Archbishop Tutu said about apartheid with regards to the Truth and Reconciliation hearings: "Those who claimed they did not know cannot very well say so now. They know.” Except we have internet. We have social media. People know now. We know. We cannot claim otherwise.

been saying this to friends for a while but putting it here for posterity: ossoff has an excellent chance of being the dem nominee in 2028

“If we are going to do a third Reconstruction we need politicians who conceive of themselves as working on behalf of a constituency, rather than would-be-saviors…And, like the people of Minnesota, we need to do the work to be that constituency…” www.liberalcurrents.com/aoc-for-pres...

My favorite story about jazz sax master Sonny Rollins, is that in 1959 he took a sabbatical from the music business, honing his chops by practicing up to 16 hours a day playing alone on the Williamsburg Bridge. RIP to a giant who was also always searching as a musician and artist: loom.ly/hSP333k

NEW: The House advanced a plan to increase ICE and CBP's budget by up to $140,000,000,000 with no strings attached. Congress is one step closer to giving these lawless agencies more money to terrorize our communities — the time to be loud is now.

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.
