This was announced as 150 million people across the country were under heat alerts.
Fossil fuel interests spent nearly $100 million on Trump's re-election. Then the industry pumped $19 million into his inaugural fund.
They're cashing in at the expense of the rest of us.

In insane time such as these, it is great to see pictures of protest. It is also great to take a breather for a minute and look at some pics of puppies. So here is your daily boost of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. We all desperately need some. Many thanks to the little trash gremlin!

Israel now *needs* Iran to respond.
Israel can then focus on itself being attacked & demand that Western “allies” rally round it.
Iran’s best move is not to respond now- and rather let global criticism of Israel over Gaza, West Bank and their strike on Iran to build to breaking point.

16 Democrats joined Republicans to advance crypto regulation that's been rubber stamped by the industry — as Trump profits off his own memecoin.
Why?
Crypto corporations have shelled out huge campaign contributions to both parties.
Big Money has corrupted the system.

Just woke up to this news, need to be a little more awake to fully process it, but the people I worked with at Polygon are some of the most kind, insightful, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Support them wherever they end up. Also, fuck whoever made this decision.
