Part of what to take from this is that solar power is The Future. Whoever has their hand up Trump's ass is only further isolating the US from the rest of the world. It's shameful and devastating and hurts so so many people, but they're guaranteeing the world will leave them behind.

Election 2025: Saint Paul, City Question 1 and School District Question 1 Saint Paul has a lot less on the ballot this year than Minneapolis, because no one here cares if the mayoral and city council races aren’t in sync, so they just aren’t. We have a mayora…

Election 2025: Saint Paul City Question 1 and School District Question 1 (this would be the funding levy AND the charter amendment). Vote Yes! (Twice!)

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23:

Free speech is the counterweightβ€”it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

I've found the analysis of US news on both DW and France24 to be enlightening and quite sobering over recent weeks.

"I spoke with Governor Walz, and I'm grateful that he understands what's at stake for farmers and Farm Aid. His involvement is very appreciated. We both know that, ultimately, it's up to the University to do the right thing, and soon, so that Farm Aid 40 can go forward."

ok so the times witnessed reporters receiving cash from Adams people three times at mayoral events and sat on it for over a month but couldn’t pass up a hot tip from a neonazi about Mamdani’s unsuccessful college application for long enough to check if the neonazi had already been identified

Trump says the -818k 2024 benchmark payroll revisions show BLS commissioner McEntarfer was political and incompetent. Let’s look at the facts.
1. The revisions were released in Aug 2024, not Nov 15 as the president said. So the BLS release showing far less job growth came 3 mos. BEFORE the election

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like β€œmy stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!
