A climate action advocate running on a drained battery.
I tried to convince y'all that the constant criticism of Democrats was going to put the GOP back in charge, but oh well here we are.
Supporting Democrats is a lot better than living under GOP rule.

Whether or not Israel was committing genocide last year or this year is for the courts to decide. That's just the way I am.
If you accuse Democrats of having supported a genocide, you are a lying Kremlin useful idiot imso.
You've been gaslit into believing lies like these.

Sounds like Ukrainians wouldn't cave into the Republicans' corrupt plan to colonize their country in order to steal their natural resources so now the Republicans are just talking with the Kremlin about how they can help defeat Ukraine and the rest of Europe.
“The negotiations were tense,” a source told Russia’s state media following today’s trilateral meeting in Geneva.
Talks are set to continue tomorrow.
The source also said that separate bilateral discussions between Russia and the United States took place in Geneva today.

Durable alloy anode for Na-ion batteries with high volumetric energy density - Nature Energy
Alloy anodes can boost the energy density of Na-ion batteries but suffer from instability, and current strategies trade off performance and scalability. Here the authors develop a high-loading Sn anode reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotube networks, achieving high capacity and long-term cycling performance.

What these people are really saying is that they think Donald Trump ran an excellent campaign, one worthy of their respect and admiration.
Because he won, right, and that means by definition that his campaign was fantastic.
It’s quite telling.

1) It should be obvious, but it is the campaign's job to win the election. The campaign should have a plan to get enough votes to win. That's the whole job. I have seen union campaigns fail and it is never the workers fault. It's the organizer's fault.

Forgive me that I have no problem with that, because it's really rather wild that FIFA has published team hotels for so many years. It's an obvious security risk, especially these days.
