Retired from minimum wage workforce when price of gas got higher than paycheck. Instead of renting we were invested in affordable property. Those options have disappeared for average young families so Americans elected a King to make life easier? Idiocracy

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Guess they are not listening to their old folks like Mitch McConnell who has been there, done that. Or are his lights still on but no one home.

The local spirits must be disturbed because the cats are all roaming about hunting something that has proved to be quite elusive. They are in different parts of the house.

Good morning! For a brief time I am gong to believe those attempting to destroy democracy have been deported to Russia while I slept minus all access to funds plundered by their felonist regime.

Wonderful morning to rip out weeds and wack the limbs off soon to be dormant rose of sharons. And it hopefully will keep me out of jail.

Good Saturday morning Blue Skyโ€™s!

C.S. Lewis
Thank you for your friendship.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S.

AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers.

Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

She looks more like a crack head than a high ranking Gov. official. I wouldnโ€™t let her in either.
