Dearest Martha,

The front lines in Portland remain bleak. Today the local coffee-shop/bookstore/meditation space ran out of oat milk so I had to have soy in my favourite new latte.

And the frogs, Martha. Oh god the frogs.

Republicans are scared AF about #NoKings Day -- calling it a "Hate America Rally" a bunch of "radical left terrorists" lol

So, let's be sure we show the communities we gather in that WE LOVE AMERICA and that's why we are taking it to the streets

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

"Worldwide, renewables produced more electricity than coal across the first half of this year — a first, according to clean-energy think tank @ember-energy.org." www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... via @danmccarthy.bsky.social 🔌💡

Chart: In a first, world gets more power from renewables than coal

The world is still burning through enormous amounts of coal, but the energy source is stagnating as renewables — and solar in particular — soar.

Always remember, the Trump and RFK families get their vaccines, despite all the lying fuckery they do for the gullible masses.

QUESTION: Why do we need Mike Johnson to "swear in" Rep Grijalva? Who gives a f**k about their traditions? She's elected. Call a locksmith, unlock the office, get to work, release the Epstein files. 💯 The p*dophiles don't follow rules. Why should we?
