It is fascistic to shut down other people's right to assemble and engage in free speech. Kshama Sawant seems like a textbook fascist to me.

Look up the horseshoe theory and then hopefully you'll understand how and why our far-left has begun to support fascism.

Senator Bateman only received 7% of her campaign contributions from individuals in her last election so that probably explains her support for the #Abundance movement to fast-track fossil fuel projects.

I have received four consecutive out-of-office replies from four different Kentucky state government spokespersons this morning. Possibly a record.

5 Colorado sheriff’s deputies disciplined in wake of traffic stop that led to U. student’s ICE arrest The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office has punished five deputies in the wake of a June traffic stop in western Colorado that led to the immigration arrest of a 19-year-old University of Utah student.

A Republican sheriff in western Colorado punished several deputies after they alerted ICE on a Signal chat about a young woman who'd overstayed her visa.

She was detained for 2 weeks and now is out on bond.

State law prohibits inquiring about immigration status

They are not yet gone. But for thousands of species, the Earth is already holding its breath.

A new review confirms what conservationists have long suspected: more than 10,000 species now sit on the precipice.

New Tech: trend, or hype? Does it follow the high cost/niche application to low cost/ubiquitous trend for technology growth rates? Here's solar as an example. Tesla's "Master Plan" follows this. It's why I'm skeptical of near-term SMR's that aren't on the moon/military ships.

Increasingly understanding "energy dominance" to mean energy authoritarianism. Rooftop and community solar helps democratize energy production, putting money in consumer pockets instead of centralized utilities. Illegally cutting these grants disempowers lower-income communities, in every sense.

I'm glad you brought up children.

That you would rather allow Republicans to check your children's genitals than to support Democrats getting into power instead of the GOP well describes your moral framework.

Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson are grifters that have no morals. It's as simple as that.

ah look more energy abundance!

anyway it's pretty lazy of folks to not realize the abundance agenda is being coopted for bad things. high embodied carbon vehicles. fossil fuel production over green energy. highway construction over transit.
