There’s so much of this shit with people in Trumps orbit. Stephen Miller once ran in the middle of a girls track meet to go “I am a man, I am better at sports”. No point to any of it except to be an awful human being.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

I always liked him, even though as a Cleveland fan he drove me crazy.

He had a Cleveland interlude that started with so much optimism but quickly moved into steady "meh" territory thereafter

We are reaching the point where energy scarcity is exacerbating energy equity issues to the point where regulatory intervention will be required Unfortunately Chevron was just gutted, hamstringing regulatory enforcement

I like the coconut tree memes as much as everyone else but I do think we should all be on the same page about Harris's quote actually making sense when you realize she was telling a story about her mom and illustrating a point about education.

Rolling into the oval office at 11, zoning out for the intelligence briefing, whining until they let him wander away and watch fox. That was Trump every damn day

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

“Some folks need killing, It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity!” the republicans are attempting to goad their followers to terrorism against their perceived enemies. This is what fascism looks like.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

I strongly disagree that this is a “bus shoving”. This is an “I don’t want to answer questions about it. I want to be seen as my own man. I want to maintain structural ambiguity.”

Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

"many elite supporters" but no one on the record - excuse the language, but this is so fucking irresponsible. Are you an insider with relevant information? We get that you have jobs and reputations you think are important. But we're barreling towards a Trump presidency w/o institutional guardrails.

This is Stephen Miller's law firm. They're also currently repping a TV reporter suing CBS-LA for being anti-white, which as a former CBS-LA reporter I think is absolutely laughable. But they're trying to create still more legal precedent for a racist takeover, it's clear

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

It's pretty interesting what the media decides is front page news and what they don't decide is front page news! Trump being a child sex abuser with close connections to Jeffrey Epstein somehow doesn't merit the same coverage as "unnamed Dem insider has concerns about Biden's age"
