This is why I resigned my 6 figure job for USCIS. This is unethical and unconstitutional.

Do you realize how many times fuel costs are added to your grocery bill? Farmers put diesel in the tractors. Wholesalers put diesel in the trucks. Rail lines put diesel in the train. Distributors put diesel in the trucks. You cover increased fuel costs at least 4 times before it gets to you.

California's No Kings Act is the first bill in the nation to let people take ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agents to court when they violate our constitutional rights. Tell Governor Newsom to sign the No Kings Act now. @governor.ca.gov @scottwiener.bsky.social

For more than a decade, there's been something fishy going on in a lake that straddles Vermont and the province of Quebec. It involves cancer, a kind of catfish, and — possibly — clues about how tumors metastasize.

Hello Friends! We had a good fundraising weekend for my birthday, but can you help make it a long birthday weekend? I'd appreciate a $20 contribution toward lower utility bills, better pay for school employees, & more affordable housing in Vermont. I'm done with "business as usual" in Montpelier!

China is dominating solar, batteries, and EVs because they made a national commitment, while we keep stalling. Every day we delay on clean energy is a day we fall further behind. This is an economic and national security fight we can't lose.

Today's electricity production in Denmark is a total reversal from yesterday. Yesterday it was solar predominantly. Today it's wind. So good to have both Right now Denmark exports 2,5GW to our neighbours. CO2 emissions per kWh produced is only 11 grams. Amazing.

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.   My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

This is why everyone was talking TACO this week. Does anyone really think he's going to follow through? They had a cease fire, but apparently that wasn't real. He was going to eliminate their civilization, that didn't happen. Every nation is now justified to roll their eyes at another threat.

#TACO is not encouraging a fascist to commit genocide or bruising his fragile ego into nuclear war. If he does those it's because he does them. He would do them anyway if it helps him. TACO is shining a light to his crumbling base that he is never to be trusted. Higher gas, got less than nothing.
