Please assume that your birthdate and SSN are fully compromised by this point. They are no longer useful for security purposes, which is why companies are switching to other means of identity management.

The complicit mainstream media prevents Dem responses from ever gaining traction in media space. It is not a coincidence that Epstein is the only scandal that has gained traction in the media. Notably, this scandal arose on the right. Therefore, it is news. Quit ragging on the Dems! Not Helpful!

They were not going to send aid at all, but then the Texas flood story blew up in the press, and they couldn't ignore it any longer. They want to get rid of FEMA entirely, remember?

They weren't to send aid at all, but the Texas flood story blew up and they had to do something. That is why it took 72 hours.

Installing solar plus grid battery-storage is much cheaper than installing new nuclear power plants right now, and battery technology is on an exponential cost-reduction curve. This is a fact. Solar also produces no nuclear waste. Nuclear cannot compete, and will eventually go extinct. Sorry.

It is a good thing that there are a wide variety of grid-storage battery technologies that do not use lithium. You should check them out.

There are a wide variety of grid storage battery technologies coming online right now that do not use lithium. Take heat batteries that efficiently store energy in heated sand or graphite.

There are a wide variety of battery technologies coming online right now including heat batteries that efficiently store energy in heated sand or graphite. Grid storage technologies are just now getting ramped up and they are already cheaper than gas and lightyears ahead of nuclear.

I've always said motors are for work and feet, pedals, paddles, sails, and kites are for fun.

Well at first it looked like performative distancing on Elon’s part, but now it looks more like a full narcissistic meltdown that could torch both Tesla and SpaceX.

This is all performative bs, so whatever Trump or any other repug says is just for show. Elon is trying to put distance between himself and Trump because he wants liberals to buy his cars again.

What does that even mean? Who out there "does everything right?" Sounds like an impossible standard that allows them to screw over anyone they want, whenever they want.

It is not like that generation of American cars were susceptible to rust or anything.

Seriously, who do you think these nuclear-capable bombers were aimed at for the past 70 years. Good riddance to bad garbage!

She was following rule number 1 of MAGA propaganda, alway circle back around immediately under all circumstances to "deporting dangerous criminal illegal immigrants." Even when it makes you look like an idiot.

Don't worry. The increases will still be very obvious.

Why risk the potential downsides of an military confrontation with the largest military on earth when Trump is doing such a great job of destroying us from the inside all by himself.

Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · Apr 7

It's not the same yet.

Can the streets of DC tolerate the weight of a procession of 60 ton tanks and other armored vehicles? I mean we've never had a megalomaniacal dictator before whose into these kinds of things, so who can say.

This is one of the biggest cans of cope I think I have ever seen. If money is so inconsequential, perhaps Benny can give all of his bank accounts to me.

They are going to delete and shred all SSA records just like they are trying to do with the USAID. There will be nothing left; not privatization, just elimination. How do we prevent this? Not sure.
