It’s day 20 of the government shutdown and construction crews at the White House's East Wing tear down walls to make room for trump's f*cking massive ballroom.

A quarter of a BILLION…when Americans are struggling to get by. Absolutely shameful.

China has emerged as the world’s solar superpower. In 2023 and 2024, it generated nearly as much solar power as all 38 OECD countries—including the United States and European Union—combined.

The “Big Beautiful Bill,” which sabotages solar energy in the US, is a geopolitical gift to China.

Good morning, Bluesky.

"so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still possible."
