Sierra Leone imported enough solar to increase generation by 60+% of total installed capacity. The future of energy abundance is in Africa 👀

Welcome to Issue 211 of The Continent.

Fuel’s been scarce in Burundi since 2018, thanks to political unrest. Now, people are risking bullets, crocodiles, even prison just to fill up.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

Thank you! That’s so cool!!

ELI5 direct collapse?

i really think this is more about Newsom wanting to do it than it is about being scared of Trump

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out

And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

A lesson to be learned here

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

is that good

real scream in an empty stairwell hours

now was that so hard?

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

*taps sign repeatedly and more and more aggressively until I tap right through it*

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Tomorrow morning, 8AM, Prospect Park West & President St, if you're mad at Schumer let's show it.

i will say again that this crop of congressional republicans are the most pathetic, supine people to ever serve in congress www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

People who say shit like this about trans people are my enemy. They are my family's enemy. They are dead to me forever. If they run for something in my vicinity I will work to destroy them. Do they understand this story is repeated several million times?

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit.

Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

I think if you could stage a significantly large protest and actually achieve media coverage that cut between that and the half-empty chamber it would probably do some good. Also president crowd size would probably have a stroke

"The white house approved the payments but musk's henchmen manually blocked them" doesn't sound like the white house was being dishonest it sounds like a coup d'état
