How China Went From Clean Energy Copycat to Global Innovator A surge in high quality research and patent applications has cemented Chinaโ€™s dominance in the industry.

As the US faffs about with declining fossil fuels, China has leapt forward to become the uncontested global leader in clean energy -- and not just on the cheap labor/commodity side, either. They're beating us on research, startups, & patents.

The American Puritans, our early version of stupid MAGAts, burned witches at the stake.
Both men and women could be considered and condemned as witches.
The orange idiot buffoon trump is a witch, but not necessarily a male (man).
What are today's MAGAt Puritans waiting for?

I have extra matches.

Why would ICE punks & losers need student loan forgiveness? There's not one in a thousand of these worthless criminal bastards that could even figure out how to open the door to a classroom, much less open their empty brain to learn anything.

Trump reposts AI-generated video of plane dumping sludge on No Kings protesters President has previously posted deepfake videos and AI-generated images like this one, which JD Vance called โ€˜funnyโ€™

There is simply one way to say this: Donald Trump is an aged and frail person, physically and mentally; but he is also a severely mentally-damaged individual with a child's very disturbed and underdeveloped mind. He's totally incompetent & not fit to be in office

JB Pritzker looking at prosecuting ICE agents in Chicago Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has suggested that state prosecutors might examine the conduct of ICE agents.

Good. Even if this doesnโ€™t work, itโ€™s time to go on offense.

And then we see the coldness, the hateful comments in our social media belittling our efforts to reach out and communicate our needs, the lack of empathy in our channels of communication. How will we go forward now? Divorce will be painful. How do you separate a 270 year old union?

Even the protests in the 1960s-early 70s cannot compare to the scope and intensity of todayโ€™s No Kings global protest. Americans can stand up and speak out, now carry this through to toppling the disgusting MAGA/Trump criminal dictatorship.

Every day, the hapless lying criminals that make up the #failedGOP show why their party is so despised, and will be known historically as the most dangerous terrorist group ever in the USA. The tiny anarchist protests in the 1920's were nothing compared to the lawlessness we now see in the GOP.

Republicans use deepfake video of Chuck Schumer in new attack ad It is not the partyโ€™s first foray into the dystopian territory, with Trump having posted AI videos of his own

I'm sure everyone realizes this isn't just the #lyingGOP doing its usual despicable BS and lies, it is also grooming voters to get them ready for midterms when the "liberals" run truthful ads showing #stupidGOP stunts, & the GOPers will say they're fake.

The head scumbag is the inbred couch-humping idiot Vance, along with the mindless, idiotic & sadly insecure mammaโ€™s baby โ€˜youngโ€™ Republican losers. They have to belong to a gang because they have zero value on their own.
