One of my friends who is visiting lives in Albany Park in Chicago and listening to her talk about what’s been going on and watching her cry and feel helpless…
She was a union organizer. She’s used to organizing in less than ideal conditions. She’s not brand new.
She’s horrified and traumatized.

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
