The fact that protests now feature people who don’t normally have to worry about what might happen to them in an adverse encounter with security forces is a HUGE DEAL.

It means that the “real” victims don’t have to suffer alone. It means that some people care about something more than themselves

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Follow ups and not tolerating lies and bullshit.

Imagine if corporate media did this for 10 years.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

(So, no, he didn't)

I mean mind tricks probably would woek on them. Has Bernie tried? He's definitely got the best Jedi hand gestures in the Senate. "These aren't the tax increases you were looking for. A subsidy repeal is a tax on workers."

Yeah, shame on the press for forcing Adams to engage in fraudulent campaign finance bundling, accept lavish gifts from Turkey, “forget” his iPhone passcode (😂😂😂), & cut a deal w Tom Homan trading assistance on Trump anti-immigrant policies for dropping criminal charges: it’s all the media’s fault.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says
It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

… queer content will inevitably become targets of censorship by those who view it as pornographic. I applaud the goal of protecting children but I fear s-209 is ill-considered and as a parent of two I am asking you to reconsider it.

You've probably heard how a high percentage of #Nobel laureates are immigrants. The US in particular has benefited from the influx of bright minds.

@jennaahart.bsky.social ran the data for this century's Nobel prizewinners — and shows more than 30% immigrated. 🧪

The most common destination for eventual Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine since 2000 is the United States, Nature has found.
