Thou Shalt Share This Photo Because Trump Doesn’t Want You To He sure as hell wouldn’t want you liking this post or subscribing to this newsletter either.

Trump ordered Treasury employees not to share any more images of his demolition of The White House.

I'm at a loss for words to express how terrible this is.

One more path to strip people of their rights and personhood. This, w/ the EO on birthright c'ship. As ICE's budget gets steroids in the BBB. As the POTUS tours a new concentration camp in Florida.

I'm scared for so many people right now.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analysed the cost of solar in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar panels can be cheaper than using wood.

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

Incredible!

ERCOT (most of Texas) slashed its risk of inadequate generation from 16% to 0.48% in just one year

How?

10 GW of mostly solar and batteries were added.

Solar plus batteries can be built quickly and on budget. They often will solve reliability problems, not cause them.

How rooftop solar is helping New England stay cool during the heat wave At peak hours during this week's heat wave, solar panels on homes, businesses, parking lots and alongside roads are helping relieve stress on the electric grid.

The solar panels on your roof are pulling their weight during this heat wave! β˜€οΈ

At 3pm Monday afternoon, behind-the-meter solar generated 4.7 GW of power in New England. That was about 18% of total demand www.wbur.org/news/2025/06... @wbur.org

We currently live in a police state. Those sworn to protect us are either subjugating us or allowing it to happen. Why don’t you open your eyes?

If most cops were good cops and not the chickenshit cowards that they are, they would refuse to follow unlawful orders en masse. But they aren’t. Because they are chickenshit

Raises ethics issues? How about directly violates the US Constitution? This is one of those times a plain text reading is relevant. Wish the NYT had valuable reporting instead of the whitewashing you all do instead.

Tell your editors to stop gargling Trump’s balls
