NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months

* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor

If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far…

Steve Bannon (Fmr WH)
Alex Acosta (Fmr Labor)
Bill Barr (Fmr AG)

This is incredible. Like the previous few years, near all of the electricity capacity added to the grid was clean energy. The Inflation Reduction Act helped this - it made solar & wind cheaper but it also for the first time had a standalone incentive for grid storage. Look at the growth in storage!

Student protesters outside SCPA in Cincinnati

WKRC documented today's protest by a group of SPCA students in Cincinnati. This particular group was led by a 7th grader with a bullhorn who self-organized a whole coalition of students to leave their classes and protest ICE.

I wish the international community could see such everyday US actions.

Mexican Cartel 'Drones' Near El Paso Airspace Were Actually Party Balloons: Report FAA initially ordered the closure of airspace over El Paso for 10 days before backtracking.

Incredible update: "This article was updated to note that CNN reports there were at least four party balloons shot down by DOD, not just one."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

This thread about design choices in RPG layout is fucking delightful.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

GM: Charisma check.

FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs:

“Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”

Boo!!

Outside the gas station, one of our reporters tried asking Sveum (EZ-2) to confirm his name.

He said one word in response: "what?" & went immediately to his vehicle.

A few minutes later, he had pulled his mask more over his face, and appeared to be in furtive conversation with another agent:

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Just a reminder - the FBI/DOJ looked at all the same material we are seeing now and concluded that there was nothing left to investigate

This trend is giving me life. College is cool, knowledge is great. The liberal arts is rad. Being well rounded is the GOAT.

Fund all colleges and universities. We should be throwing money at them. Make it affordable for all. Let people take underwater basket weaving if they choose.

So the federal intelligence community & department of justice has had this information for how many years? And just been sitting on it? Letting these people wreak havoc on society?

It turns out, /Pol/ wasn't just the random offshoot of 4chan, a board set up to kind of contain the right-wing chuds and keep them off the other boards...

... but was, instead, created THE DAY that 4chan's founder met with Epstein.

So, it's really ALL of them, isn't it

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

time to flex the fact I have a cs degree with a concentration in digital security: for basically everyone on Earth, you're fine using Signal. your biggest risks are still always 1) snitches and 2) someone (including you) getting your phone unlocked nonconsensually by cops

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

The ICE shootings are a tipping point Donald Trump's approval on immigration has collapsed 17 points since taking office, and support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement has swung 50 points since Sept. 2024.

We are at a tipping point on ICE and immigration enforcement. The shootings are so unpopular that Trump appears to have lost his edge on both deportations and immigration more broadly. Abolishing ICE is net popular with independents. & Bovino is out! 2026≠2024 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-imm...

Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position.

They are losing.
