A powerful vid with all the evidence needed for solar to replace oil & gas. Clever argument that the fields used for ethanol corn (high Opex) should be replaced by much higher ROI solar panels (tiny Opex). Too bad the Trump admin is explicitly disinvesting in renewables for his oil cronies.

The GOP blames women for undermining them on issues like abortion & ICE & thus hopes to pass the “SAVE Act,” which will make it harder for married women who changed their last names to vote. But they want you to think it’s about “election integrity”. 1/31/26 #HandmaidsTale 1/

California governor Gavin Newsom accuses TikTok of suppressing content critical of Trump
Newsom launched a review of the platform, despite TikTok saying a systems failure was responsible for the issue
