Stop using the credit cards as these companies are the major funders of #FossilFuels especially Chase and Wells Fargo bank. Choose a credit union or a progressive bank like Beneficial State Bank. Use your debit card to help the merchants avoid the credit card fees funding the fossil fuel industry.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Fucking hypocrites.

olympic spirit, peace on earth my ass. what's the point if you prohibit us to remember the athletes that were killed in an unprovoked war. let's take a wild fucking guess who is pleased by that disqualification decision

#olympics #milanocortina2026 #olympicgames #ukraine

Sport shouldn’t mean amnesia, and the Olympic movement should help stop wars, not play into the hands of aggressors. Unfortunately, the decision of the International Olympic Committee to disqualify Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych says otherwise. This is certainly not about the principles of Olympism, which are founded on fairness and the support of peace. I thank our athlete for his clear stance. His helmet, bearing the portraits of fallen Ukrainian athletes, is about honour and remembrance. It is a reminder to the whole world of what Russian aggression is and the cost of fighting for independence. And in this, no rule has been broken.

It is Russia that constantly violates Olympic principles, using the period of the Olympic Games to wage war. In 2008, it was the war against Georgia; in 2014 – the occupation of Crimea; in 2022 – the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And now, in 2026, despite repeated calls for a ceasefire during the Winter Olympics, Russia shows complete disregard, increasing missile and drone strikes on our energy infrastructure and our people. 660 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have been killed by Russia since the full-scale invasion began. Hundreds of our athletes will never again be able to take part in the Olympic Games or any other international competitions. And yet, 13 Russians are currently in Italy competing at the Olympics. They compete under “neutral” flags at the Games, while in real life publicly supporting Russian aggression against Ukraine and the occupation of our territories. And they are the ones who deserve disqualification. We are proud of Vladyslav and of what he did. Having courage is worth more than any medal.

Zelensky responds to the IOC's decision to disqualify Vladyslav Heraskevych from the Olympics:

"We are proud of Vladyslav and of what he did. Having courage is worth more than any medal."

ICE and CBP remain a violent menace and no Member of Congress should vote for a budget that gives the regime more money without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.

Trent: Immigrants are far less likely than native-born citizens to commit crimes. That is not who we need to protect ourselves from. It actually turns out that we need to protect ourselves from the rich, the powerful, the oligarchs — the Epsteins of the world, the Trumps of the world.

Salesforce reportedly lays off hundreds as Benioff jokes about ICE Salesforce employees are outraged after CEO Marc Benioff joked about ICE at a company event. Meanwhile, the company laid off employees for the second time in several months.

Living in Minnesota right now is wondering if your patient is late because they got caught in traffic, because they got arrested, or because they got detained and all of these are perfectly plausible and equally likely.

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

California and Hawai`i join growing movement to hold Big Oil accountable for the climate-driven home insurance crisis | Center for Climate Integrity New bills would empower state attorneys general to protect the public from rising insurance costs after a climate disaster

Home insurance rates are soaring in the aftermath of wildfires in Maui and Los Angeles.

Two new bills introduced in Hawaiʻi and California would help protect families from rising costs by making Big Oil pay their fair share. 👏

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost quoting Rep. Johnson questioning a proposal to require passports to register to vote, noting that many Americans do not have passports and asking whether the $150 passport fee would be waived to avoid creating an unreasonable poll tax. Below is a CNN screenshot showing a woman speaking remotely, with a banner reading: “DHS FUNDING TALKS AT A STANDSTILL AS DEADLINE APPROACHES.”

Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

A reminder: ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of energy in their fuel.

EVs are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain making it 3-4x more efficient.

Despite CA having 2x the electricity price as TX, Texans pay 28% more per capita for electricity yearly because TX uses 2.7x the elec per capita as CA (vs 2.1x in 2001, so nothing to do with weather) even with 2 mil more EVs in CA than TX

Why? Stronger effic & building standards & more BTM PV in CA
