Cancelling solar and wind projects while artificially propping up fossil fuels is a global surrender in energy, and it’s all because of reactionary political ideology. It’s an economic loss, a national security loss, a US jobs loss, a climate change loss (hence Greenland lol) — list goes on
Check this one fact out:
"In 2024, the total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear plant and all of the renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year."

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Jackson showing exactly why the Bruen decision is so laughably dumb (and demonstrating again that she’s the best justice on the court)
I wrote about Justice Neil Gorsuch Pikachu-facing throughout oral argument in Wolford v. Lopez today bc the Court told states that modern gun laws must have "historical analogues" and, as it turns out, a lot of historical laws are racist

Requiring "historical analogues" for modern gun laws eventually turns up some history that makes even the conservative justices uncomfortable.

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car
“the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

I know for a fact that, if Joe Biden had said fuck you and flipped off a heckler who called him “genocide Joe” at an auto plant, then @npr.org would’ve mentioned it in their coverage of the visit.
But since it was Trump flipping off someone who shouted “pedophile protector,” NPR didn’t mention it.

Performative cruelty.
Whether considered globally, nationally, or locally, current events show that one political party has completely abandoned any sense of decency, shared community, societal improvement, and institutional stewardship.
