The end of coal in California ⬇️
Something to be thankful for!
Utah's largest coal-fired power plant—the Intermountain Power Project, located in the west desert near Delta and serving southern California—stopped burning coal at mid-day on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. 🔌💡

Polska też kiedyś miała mieć inny podział granic po wojnie, w tym miała mieć Królewiec i większą część wschodnich terenów.
Ale zdecydowały wtedy inne kraje o podziale terytorium i jest tak, że mamy teraz granicę z 🇷🇺.

The Trump-Putin plan to end the Ukraine war would reward Russia’s aggression.
But even if Ukraine rejects it, the talks excluded Ukraine and Europe, adopting Russia’s frame of the US and Russia settling imperial spheres of influence.
For Putin, it’s win-win.

Trump’s plan for peace in Ukraine is a win-win for Russia
Opinion | Given the U.S. president's behavior toward Putin, it was unlikely the Trump administration would seriously pressure Moscow

Why would a president issuing legal orders have a big objection to Members of Congress saying that US military personnel must honor their oath to the Constitution, and should consult a lawyer if they think they've been given an illegal order?
Why indeed.

It’s also an admission that his orders are illegal

Trump ranting about sedition, hangings, and death because some members of Congress said that US military personnel have to follow US law is quite bad, yes.
But it's frustrated impotence more than actionable threat.
He can't get James Comey in jail, he's far from able to murder members of Congress.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I'd like a president who thinks the bar for state forces killing someone is higher than "a lot of people didn't like him," and is generally negative rather than positive about governments killing journalists for criticizing them.
Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

This is how the depraved, unprincipled Trump excuses the murder of Jamal Khashoggi : blame the victim.
“A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen,” he says sitting with the culpable MBS.
Sickening and infuriating.

The US military positioning off the coast of Venezuela could be a prelude to war, or could be intimidation similar to what Russia likes to do, such as in the Baltic Sea.
It doesn't look like a show for Americans, at least for now, because the White House isn't trying to draw attention to it.
