C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

This is likely part of Trump’s plan to force more expensive fossil fuels on the country through his policies to ‘drill, baby dill’ and bring back coal. Welcome to the 20th century (or should I say the 19th when coal was dominant).

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

Rock, paper, scissors? Those sound like potentially dangerous weapons. No wonder Trump wants to send ICE to protect New Yorkers. Fcuk ICE and release the Epstein files. 😉

I saw two people do rock, paper, scissors for the last citibike dock in front of NY Comic Con and that is the essence of New York.

Oil and gas companies will often claim to be partners in the clean energy transition, when it is politically expedient to do so, but new research finds their actual contributions are marginal:

If I read this right, the Canadian government might consider contracting out more postal services. This would be a step toward complete privatisation. The UK privatised Royal Mail and the result has been declining service levels across the board ever since. Be careful, Canada.

This could happen to anyone. If you believe you are safe and exempt from arrest and detention, understand that under Trump, you aren’t. Under Kristi Noem, ICE agents are completely untethered from the law and any accountability.
