A positive step for industrial decarbonisation:

Rondo Energy and Covestro are building a 100 MWh heat battery in Germany, showing how surplus renewable electricity can be turned into clean industrial heat.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

They are not making our communities safer. They are terrorizing families, kidnapping people, and killing U.S. citizens.

So yes — it was a HELL NO.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

President Trump has talked a big game about America's foreign policy failures. But, in just one year, he's become a foreign policy President: dropping bombs on seven countries and two oceans, and promising to use U.S. tax dollars to make *other* countries rich. youtube.com/shorts/TAzDM...

I’d rather spend our money on health care for Americans than on “buying” a country that’s not even for sale.

Give us health care and leave Greenland alone.

An absolute disgrace.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

We have come a long, long way, but we have a long, long way to go.

Today, we commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s enduring legacy that continues to inspire.

Let us continue his work to build a better world where every child can grow up with opportunity and without hate.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump?

When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

The Trump Administration is weaponizing government to intimidate people who disagree with Trump. Senator Slotkin's service to this country and Michiganders speaks for itself.

I'm proud that she speaks truth to power.
Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like.

The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work.

Watch this. @slotkin.senate.gov lays out exactly what it looks like when a president uses the FBI and DOJ as political weapons to punish free speech.

The goal is clear: intimidate critics and chill dissent.

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable.

These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
