“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

The way the presenters endorse Senator’s message that ICE can just shoot anyone with no repercussions & how their sympathy lies with Senator being forced to defend ICE & not for ICE’s victims makes me wonder if shape-shifting reptilian humanoids are not secretly controlling the world after all 🥴..
Rep. Randy Fine: "It's time for Americans to say 'enough,' and if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday."

The Right is defined by a political and social culture of white grievance, ethno-religious nationalism, gun fundamentalism, desire for male domination, glorified militancy, and paranoid conspiratorialism – it is bound to produce people who believe it is their patriotic duty to use violence.

Protest against complicity in genocide in Keir Starmer's and Labour's UK now carries an extra-judicial death sentence. All the Palestine Action prisoners are asking is for a judicial process worthy of a normal democracy. This will never be forgiven or forgotten.
If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Maduro was a corrupt leader
But Trump does not have the right to “run” Venezuela - a serious violation of international law. He does not have the right to take our country into war.
60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Trump should address the needs of the American people.
