“It’s always harder to build things than to break them,” she observed. “And breathtakingly easy to destroy the things you don’t value, let alone understand.”

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

Trump & MAGA are rigging elections to stay in power by stealing congressional seats in TX & other GOP states.

Californians are rallying behind Prop 50 to counter Trump’s cheating.

Let's stay alert & defend democracy!

Vote #YesOnProp50 today & return your ballot ASAP (latest by Nov 4).

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

We should declare amnesty for all that are in the United States right now. Deport all the felons. Ronald Reagan did it and so should we. Trump calling them vermin when they are the ones that pick our food and build our buildings.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

The only billionaires that aren’t worried right now are tech billionaires. The rest of the billionaires that have corporations to run. They’re not able to hire people or create a budget due to the tariffs. They’ve stopped spending, hiring and can afford to wait it out.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

I totally agree. The people who do watch Fox News do not realize that it is an entertainment company. They should have to call it that. That’s what their license says. Fox entertainment.

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

I’m not only for the shut down because of the healthcare but because of everything. The tariffs, the corruption, the Supreme Court justices, Trump, his cabinet, the tariffs, not supporting Ukraine, corruption. They are all committing seditious conspiracy. We are not a white Christian nation!
