The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

"Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now – after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one."

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

Gary Hart was forced out of the Democratic primary for a photo with a woman sitting on his lap. Al Franken was forced out of the Senate for an old photo of him being juvenile and sexist. Meanwhile, this rapist asshole marches merrily on his way.

NYT: Epstein, Trump Once Discussed How Much Pubic Hair A Woman Had
A Times investigation makes it almost certain that Trump knew what his sexcapade pal, Jeffrey Epstein, was up to and, at the least, likely facilitated it.

These people are sick
Not only did Vance say people don’t have to apologize for being white in America anymore, but he encouraged people to join ICE, for faster deportations
He said he’s building an army of patriots ….more like an army of racists IMO 😡

People Can't Believe What JD Vance Just Said About Being White In America
Vance spoke about Christianity as "an anchor of the United States of America" and encouraged people to join ICE, but one part of his speech is going viral because, well, see for yourself.

This is a very astute observation. I hadn't thought about Keith Kellogg, he just disappeared from the scene. It makes perfect sense that Putin would want to fainthearted guy like Witkoff doing the negotiations. 🗽

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

You want me to stop talking about the Epstein files? Ok. Release the unredacted files and lock up everyone involved. I’ll never mention it again.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people
