China’s solar power plant in Dunhuang uses around 12,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto a central tower, heating molten salt to extreme temperatures. That heat is stored and used to generate electricity on demand, including after sunset. We are sooooo far behind 😡🙄😒

As a convicted felon, Trump was ineligible to run for re-election the third time, and yet … he’s the President.

Who in their right mind would vote for Paxton? That people allegedly do - and in numbers large enough to win - only adds further weight to the popular theory that there is vote manipulation and out and out cheating going on.

It's not but the very fact that it's getting harder and harder to tell true from fake only strengthens the need for them to be labeled as AI, even if the poster assumes it should be obvious to all. Not doing so only serves Trump and his cronies.

EmE @em99y.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
The more indistinguishable from "real" photos AI gets, the more important it is for the future of our democracy to label them as AI. I have nothing against manipulated photo realistic memes - I enjoy them! But failing to identify realistic "photos" as AI creations can do great harm to Truth.

The Justice Department has withheld several Epstein files related to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor. It also removed documents from the public database where accusations against Epstein also mention Trump. Many files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release.

Nothing about this makes any sense unless you follow the money. They’re building for profit camps that’ll benefit Trump’s wealthy friends. It’s a pay to play resulting in no bid contracts to groups like CoreCivic and GEO. Check out their 2025 revenue. They donated millions to Trump’s campaign.
Not enough people are asking the question: if deportations are the goal, why are we building prison camps?

Thank you to this whistleblower for spelling it out for those that still refuse to believe what’s going on. ICE is not here to protect us. They are not going after criminals. They are being trained to terrorize Americans. And yes some are being trained in GA. youtube.com/watch?v=lpUm...

@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social, if parents in a private home were treating a child the way ICE is treating these children, CPS would be brought in and the parents would be charged with, minimally, neglect. So why are government agencies allowed to neglect/abuse these children?
