“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

an institution where random goons feel empowered to murder people and threaten pastors in the street is not a redeemable institution and nobody should be funding it or pretending it is reformable
Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

Geraldo Rivera on the ICE shooting: "She didn’t want to hit anybody. She didn't want to run over anybody. To pretend that that was a possibility, given the fact -- I mean, do you believe me or do you believe your lying eyes? Are your lying eyes telling you something that you know is not true?"

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

KC Current hiring Armas strictly from a soccer perspective seems pretty bad. From an optics perspective, it seems worse. From a progressive league perspective, it's pretty laughable.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

We do not need, and this moment won't survive "I am disappointed."
That's all he can muster, and it makes him the wrong person to lead the opposition to fascism. For the good of the country, he needs to step aside and let a brawler take his place.

Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I know you’re a “kOnZtItUsHoNaL sKoLuR,” so I need some help finding that part.
