Whoa
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I've been well aware of this reality for years but I was still shocked to learn some time ago that 40 PERCENT of freight shipping is fossil fuels
I'll essentially just walk through the whole
"you only buy the solar panels and batteries once and then they harvest energy from the sun for free" thing, contrasting it with
"can't stop slurping oil outta the ground or all the machines stop" and stare intensely at camera while I ask which is better

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

You ass he's the goddamn president right now
But the attack failed because of the courage of public servants who gave proof through the night that our flag was still there by refusing to bend to pressure, threats, or intimidation. On that day, the Constitution held and we kept the Republic.

But even that - writers, artists, others who depended on Twitter to reach their audience, their customers - now that reach is virtually non-existent. So even commercially Twitter is useless.
The only viable business there is spit out outrage posts to generate Twitter ad revenue.
