You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t stop it from sh*tting on the beach.

Maybe unsightly today to some, this recent treatment with a forestry mower is a great step toward an ecologically healthy and beautiful woods. Hopefully prescribed burning can be used too. It is along a future segment of Ice Age Trail near Madison.

Data Center Power Play Unmitigated data center growth puts the public at risk of higher utility bills and public health costs.

@ucs.org shows we can power data centers with clean energy. And better.

This right here. Wisconsin under Walker became the test lab for everything right-wingers wanted to foist on the rest of America. We likely won't recover from that damage in my lifetime.

also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Henry Cuellar (Texas), Tom Suozzi (New York), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (New York), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington), Jared Golden (Maine), and Don Davis (North Carolina)

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself. It arrives wrapped in “security,” “order,” and “law enforcement.” Minneapolis is being used as a proving ground. If we don’t stop this now, we may not get another chance.

I think I found the source of the problem

'Greenland belongs to its people': The US scientists speaking out against Trump's imperial aggression At least 225 US scientists who conduct research in Greenland have signed a Statement in Solidarity with Greenland this month.

Kalaallit Nunaat belongs to its people. 🇬🇱

If a 'framework' for Greenland’s future emerges from international discussions in the coming days, it must be a plan that Greenlanders want.
