As the situation on the ground in Gaza only gets worse, we are doing what we can to directly support and uplift Gazans and their voices. Just in: this Palestinian cookbook zine written by a young Gazan named Omar. All proceeds go directly to him and his mutual aid work on the ground.

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.
Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."

I am once again asking you to observe how cheap solar panels* are. Cheap as windows, cheap as fence slats, cheap as shingles, (almost) cheap as the sand their silicon comes from.

*the physical rectangles, not necessarily the full human-shipped, -tariffed, -permitted, -installed and -wired system!
Solar panels in China are cheaper than a same-size piece of window glass

You can use panels as siding and fencing as if it’s a building material that just happens to produce some electricity

The future is panels everywhere
