Sorry, but not every transmission line is copper. Due to its light weight and lower cost virtually all conductors in high voltage distribution systems are aluminum. Aluminum is permitted in home wiring and is safe if installed per code. PLEASE, get your facts straight.

This is largely the work of Stephen Miller. Most of the people in this administration are caricatures of real presidential appointees. Miller is a dark figure who wants citizens to have no rights, especially 1st Amendment rights, *and* has the president's ear. He is a grave danger to our Republic!

As busy as we've been keeping up with and ahead of the traitor occupying the Oval Office I almost forgot today is my Dad's Birthday. 101 years ago in 1924. He is to whom I refer in my account name "dadwasantifascist". He spent much of his 5 years service in the 82nd Airborne in Italy and Germany.

They have jobs, lives, & families. And Trump is using them as political props. What a waste. Even though Trump is incapable of shame, this is shameful.πŸ‘‡

The biggest bag of trash they missed will have an announcement at 2PM tomorrow. Probably that the Trump Sanitation and Instigation team will move on to Chicago.

I have Parkinson's Disease, being diagnosed 8 years ago. At various times I display the common, mostly mild, symptoms which only on VERY rare occasion become severe. PD symptoms are unpredictable but can be well controlled. Diagnoses does not automatically mean incapacitation.

We have our tyrant and we surely have our patriots willing to show a wanna-be king the spirit of resistance still lives in Americans.

Jefferson continued: "Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them."

He also wrote: "The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive."

Thomas Jefferson would be surprised it has been 250 years! He wrote: "What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?"

"My photographer got hit twice by less than lethal rounds and he's got blood on one of his arms and we just took off running with the entire crowd. It was absolutely chaotic."

πŸ“ŒAs always, Madison, WI, more then held its own today protesting against the orange, ghastly wannabe king, but the shadow of the gruesome political slaughter in Minnesota, and the masked, fascist marauders who are sweeping people off our streets loomed menacingly over a democracy in radical decline.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

First, start by redrawing the map to reflect population density, not land area. Land doesn't vote, people do. That "little pocket of red" may contain more than 95% of voters in the province!

We lived in Bismarck for 7 years during the time Art Link was Governor. We know what it was and we know what it has become.

North Dakota, you deserve what is happening to you. You LET it happen.

George Conway Makes Chilling Prediction About Second Trump Term: 'Like You've Never Seen' But the conservative attorney offered an optimistic take too.

Me, June 6, 2024:

β€œConway envisioned [that if reelected] Trump would β€˜try to violate every law,’ [and] predicted to host Ronny Chieng … β€˜You’re gonna see capital flow, both human and financial, like we’ve never seen from the U.S. before.’”

Canadian Election Watch has informed Mark Carney that he is being targeted by the Chinese govt. in organized campaign against him and the Liberal Party. Bots circulating misinformation saying it is Poilievre being targeted, but Govt. official statement confirms it is Carney. Vote wisely.
