Global warming deniers and fossil fuel shills in the West spent decades supporting Big Oil’s attempts to kill the electric car.

Now, they blame ‘gender neutral corporate speech’ for the industrial decline they caused.

If you fall for their lies, you’ll fall for anything.

the NYT as an institution and journalism in general lost the ability to ask the public to "trust our professional norms" or "understand the process" when they institutionalized a bias in favor of a fascist party full of pedophiles that is besieging the majority of the country with bigotry
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.
Why Nikki Haley’s son went radical: His generation inherited insecurity.

I profile Nalin Haley, a fascinating young man, who I believe will likely play an important role in conservative politics in years to come.

one thing that's nice about canceling your New York Times sub is every week you get at least one or two stories shared on here that make you say, "yeah, it rocks that I did that, I only wish I could do it again." highly recommend you cancel yours if you haven't already

This is going to get spun as a "thermostatic shift" chart, but it should be properly interpreted as a "information environment is broken" chart.

In 2024, voters didn't know what Trump would do, and so they shifted towards him based on vibes. Now they are finding out, and they hate it.
Nearly every county in Virginia has shifted blue in a massive statement against Donald Trump.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Single smartest thing I think blue states could do is go on a MASSIVE home-building spree, bring down rents, and precipitate a massive multi-racial Second Great Migration.

Provide shelter for the sane and strip the lunatic states of their power in the House.

Talia doesn't want us to save democracy, she wants to make sure the people who show up to protests are still people she wants to date. I'm going to keep observing this about everyone who posts stuff like this, because it's true. These people are socialites, not activists.

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI
Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries
Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.
SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

“We should expand the child tax credit”

Awe, how sweet

“We should raise taxes on childless people”

HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!?!?
My most controversial take on this is probably that while I think reproductive freedom should be sacrosanct, I don’t really have any problem with additional taxes on (high income) childless people. Someone gotta pay into the pensions!

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

So many Trump voter origin stories begin with something involving liberals being mean to them or looking down on them, but no one on this planet has more contempt for the average Trump voter than MAGA influencers. Trump voters are the most cucked people in America and it's not close.
TP "pastor" and con artist Rob McCoy tells the audience "Take a picture of this QR code".

This "memorial"s real intent is a money making scam no different than the bible thumping American televangelists we've seen for decades.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

The media when a right-wing figure is shot at, killer and their motivation unknown: "This political violence from the left has gone too far."

The media when a fascist brutally murders a Democrat for explicitly political reasons: "There is simply too much political violence! Anyway, next story..."

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

the mainstream media told voters in 2024 that the top National Guard-related issue in the election was whether Tim Walz retiring after serving for 21 years was scandalous. Accomplices in our oppression
Trump signs an executive order tasking Hegseth to establish "specialised units" within the National Guard to "deal with public order issues" across the US.

Using the US Military against the American public.
