Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.

This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "It's amazing how quickly this administration releases videos that they do what the public to see, and how many excuses they'll come up with for videos they don't want the public to see…The American public deserves to see what's happening."

There was a huge crowd at the Indiana Statehouse in opposition of redistricting. Let's see if the Senate listens to Hoosiers or to Washington.

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Allred: I have some empathy for folks who, in the last election, thought, “Maybe this guy really will make my costs go down.” The problem is they were lied to. Working folks across Texas know they’re working harder for less while these openly corrupt jackasses are out there doing all kinds of stuff

YIKES! Fox “News” host and Trump lackey Laura Ingraham just tried to tell a whopper of a lie to cover for Trump’s farmer bailout plan, pretending tariffs are paid by foreign countries. A community note fact check quickly corrected the record.

ICE's constant cruelty and depravity is creating an army of people who despise everything that they stand for. Our rage grows every single day because we are so sickened by what we are witnessing. This horror and trauma cannot stand.
