These prices aren't nearly as cheap as what balcony solar systems sell for in Germany, as Canary Media's story notes--but just bringing plug-in solar kits to the market in this much of the U.S. (including here in Virginia) is a notable achievement.

Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking. It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”

It is very important to remind people, at every opportunity, that Mayor Jacob Frey has sole and exclusive authority over the Minneapolis Police Department. This is Jacob Frey's MPD assisting Donald Trump's feds in a raid on Minneapolis.

Protesting and boycotting Tesla and Target is good. Know who should be next? Every cable provider. Fox gets the lion’s share of its revenue from cable subs. Something like 3:1. Fox News spreads lies and is now state media. You’re paying for it if you pay for cable.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

Republicans want to slash Medicaid, which pays for nearly half of U.S. births. Republicans want to slash Medicaid, which pays for 3/5ths of nursing home patients. Republicans want to slash Medicaid so they can give tax cuts to the super-rich.

Senator, welcome to Bluesky. Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space? Thanks. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

When you see Rubio's state department going above and beyond in terms of discriminating against trans people, innovating cruelty beyond even what Trump ordered him to do— remember, Rubio was the cabinet number the Senate voted for unanimously. Every Democrat plus Sanders literally voted for this.

This is exactly the right framing.

The politicization of transgender children in the US is one of the most astounding coups of propaganda and organized animus in recent history. Rarely has so much attention and rage been directed at such a minuscule number of people, and more rarely, still, have those people been the most vulnerable and blameless among us: kids and teens.
