Agreed. And these practices burn out SMS as a mechanism for GOTV and persuasion, which is very very important in the current technological era.

The short summary is that Beyond Coal is still winning, and America is continuing to reduce its reliance...
While the larger Sierra Club has faced some rough internal and external criticism for straying from its core environmental mission, Beyond Coal is still quietly plugging away and kicking ass.

Can the war on coal still be won?
Ten years ago, the U.S. was on track to phase out coal by 2030, thanks to the Sierra Club. Now Trump and AI are delaying the fuel’s decline.

I know this is an older and tired take, but we shouldn't take it as sheer coincidence that Trump's increased compliance with Putin's demands is happening as the same time as all of the Epstein stuff. Esp since those emails says Putin has stuff on Trump.

If they need a bailout, the answer is simple: NATIONALIZE IT. Run it as a public utility overseen by the FTC and FCC with a regulated rate of return, just like we did when we broke up the oil and electric trusts a century ago.
If they're going to take public money, then the public should own it.

There is no greater need on the center-left and in the center than unity against AI (or crypto) bailouts.
If Trump does it, he has to do it alone with his oligarch pals, no Democratic support ala Pelosi/Obama in 2008 or Biden & Larry Summers in 2023 (SVB).

I had misgivings on Shapiro prior. But I am basically a one issue voter and that issue is climate.
This is cowardice and stepping backwards in an era when we need all the forward momentum we can muster.

Gotta hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene. At every second she's been ahead of the curve:
Embrace QAnon
Embrace Nick Fuentes (remember when she lost her committee assignments over that?)
Leaving office in defeat and disgrace.
Look forward to lots of her colleagues joining her one year from now.

Sure. Thanks for handing us these giant gifts of THE MOST UNPOPULAR POLICIES YOU CAN IMAGINE
We shall fight him on the beaches. Like, pretty much exclusively on the beaches on this one. Oh and in court, at the ballot box. And he's gonna LOSE.

Star Trek fans, how does the ship's computer (circa TNG/DS9/VOY) work? When Riker walks into quarters and asks for "Music!" is it pulling from a library of music, or is it procedurally generating something new, like asking an AI to write jazz or something?
I'm inclined to believe the former.
