Ominously curious mom to Meli the Corgi. Kindness is a great medicine. Science is kewl. Love anybody you want. Watching the reactive patriarchy as it declines.
Useful, but scary/sad.
Budget data shows major tax cuts account for roughly 35% of U.S. debt growth since 2001, with most benefits going to high earners and corporations. Wars account for another 20%. Together, they make up nearly half of the growth in the national debt.

I went inside the Burlington ICE facility to demand answers. No medical staff. No transparency. No accountability. ICE is operating in the shadows but I will continue to shine a light on their inhuman practices and working to protect our immigrant neighbors.

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

True dat.
Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.
