"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now."

This is a community that cares deeply, spreads kindness, and seeks to build a better world.

An Urban Arrow cargo bike has nearly the same physical footprint as a Smart car. While the car is marketed as "tiny," the bike is often labeled as "huge" by those used to traditional bicycles. This irony highlights how much space we waste on bloated, car-centric infrastructure.

It is not believable because this is complete bullshit.
Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."

Trump wants to own Venezuela’s oil, but its largest oil customer is speeding toward clean energy | CNN
Energy experts say the US and China are diverging on the energy transition, with China sprinting far ahead on renewables and EVs, while the US doubles down on drilling oil at home and abroad.
