I’ve seen several Godzilla flicks in the theater over the past few years and you can feel, viscerally, that we are all praying for Godzilla to rise from the sea and give us what we deserve

@governor.ca.gov embarrassing. Leave something behind other than auditioning. Read a stack of books on the porch in front of them.
Some good news! These plug-in systems are all over Europe, whereas rooftop solar in the US is stupidly tied up in red tape, making it costly. All states should adopt this, like Utah did. And entirely nonpartisan—which is a weird thing to have to say about clean energy.
New Hampshire and Vermont could be next to introduce "balcony solar"
Cheap, plug-in systems that reduce people's bills without red tape are piquing bipartisan interest.

Anyone who calls it a battle is showing their whole ass. Celebrating any aspect of Wounded Knee is a celebration of murder wrapped in the flag.
Photos from the mass grave marker and cemetery at Wounded Knee, SD in 2014, one of the most surreal places you can travel to in the US.

The crazy thing is that despite this costing literally billions of dollars; they have the money for it!

That’s right, Congress decided to cut funding for public broadcasting and benefits for Americans and instead give CBP billions for the border wall, which they’ll now use to paint the wall black.
President Trump has ordered the entire southern border wall to be painted black to stop migrants from crossing because it’ll be too hot to touch, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

what has Zohran said about the Jewish people that you disagree with, @ericswalwell.bsky.social?

i mean, in a very literal sense, what did he say. what were the words.
Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell says of Zohran Mamdani: "I don't associate myself with what he has said about the Jewish people."

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies

the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.

That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.

If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.

If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.
