Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

“Just go to a food bank, a church or a charity”
For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9.
Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry.
It’s not sustainable.

A very incomplete list of things we wouldn't have done if we waited for the normies to care:
- abolish slavery
- child labor laws
- votes for women
- social security
- fdic
- welfare

- medicaid
- desegregation
- women's sports

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.
A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves.
And when he drove away, they opened fire on him.
This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.
