They don’t want PBS because they don’t want history or empathy

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.”

This is outrageous and criminal. If I were Rosie O’Donnell I would lodge a complaint with the attorney general and demand he be prosecuted for felony harassment.

The thing I love most about Zohran Mamdani are his ideas for how to make working people’s lives better. I also love how those same ideas make the most greedy people alive utterly furious.

This is bullshit.

Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.

Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.

The Worst Bill in History Trump’s giant budget-busting, Medicaid-shattering, shafting-the-poor-and-working-class, making-the-rich-even richer bill

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all. It comes at a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth.

This budget bill is a nightmare.

Defense Department will stop providing crucial satellite weather data Hurricane forecasters rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. That data will no longer be available as of Monday, June 30.

The government just cut a key hurricane satellite during storm season. They call it “routine.”

It’s not. It’s sabotage by budget. Less data means worse forecasts. More lives at risk.

They want us in a constant state of panic and fear, confusion and anger. People are easier to rule that way.

Pence: "Individuals who broke into the Capitol, who assaulted police officers...should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...The heroes on January 6 were all wearing uniforms...To have pardoned the people who assaulted police officers that day, was wrong."

Photo of Nazi book burning and participants doing Hitler salutes.

“The Day of German Literature” took place 92 years ago today.

Nazi students & right-wing groups staged book burnings targeting works by Jewish, leftist and other non-conforming authors.

These burnings were a deliberate attempt to control thought and limit access to diverse perspectives.

Obama: Imagine if I had done *ANY* of this
YouTube video by MeidasTouch Obama: Imagine if I had done *ANY* of this

Exactly. Just imagine.

Had President Obama shredded our constitution and rights, Mitch McConnell, as *minority leader,* would’ve held full court press and stopped everything happening NOW in its tracks.

Where is OUR minority leader?
