Over the past few months, BlackRock and other major investment firms have abandoned their commitments to green investments, saying explicitly that it's not profitable enough. Yes, renewables are cheap... but they are not nearly as profitable as fossil fuels.

This is the dumbest fucking telenovela I’ve ever been forced to live through.

I was late because I put a cat on me and then I couldn’t get up because there was a cat on me.

Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

This is the dumbest fucking telenovela I’ve ever been forced to live through.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Everything We Know About Trump's Executive Order on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth From what it says to what it means for you.

Before D.C. Airport Collision, Lawmakers Brushed Off Warnings And Boosted Flights Despite midflight near-misses and dire pleas, airline-bankrolled lawmakers recently expanded flight traffic at Washington’s busy airport.

🚨BREAKING: Months before tonight's fatal DC plane crash, lawmakers brushed off dire safety warnings & passed an industry-backed bill adding more flight traffic at the airport.
