They think you don't understand what a battery does. Largely because of the Inflation Reduction Act & cost declines, the U.S. now how about 14 Hoover Dams worth of batteries installed on the grid. They raised taxes on clean energy & are trying to justify the blackouts & price spikes they will cause.

Colonialism teaches the general populace to accept racism and even discriminate against a specific or their own as long as the few are prosperous. Indigenous people seek to accomplish the opposite. We must shake this colonial spell.

A look at the average global temperature anomaly for every April-June period since the year 1850... Data provided by @noaa.gov NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...)
A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each April-May-June from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in April-June 2025 was 1.1°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

Is^ael, and everything it has done in its history, is ethnonationalism and the violence it incurs at its absolute worst. Ethnonationalism, by which we mean the active enforcing of an ethnostate, produces the worst monsters of humanity. Reject it ardently. Embrace the diversity of indigineity.

When was the last time you were happy with an election outcome? Connect the dots between FPTP and why we don’t get policy we want. You can’t just pick your favourite party and hope they win. And when you vote tactically you’re not getting who you want in power, you’re keeping worse people out.

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

For not the first time, I saw (on FB) a take that homeschooling should get tax credits (i.e. including in a school choice/voucher program), and it's really hard to think of a worse policy than "We will give you cash money to remove your children from school."
