The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

Here's Bob, our music man, getting ready to set up his speaker at last Saturday's #TeslaTakedown Rockville MD. Like many others, he has a favorite spot. The music and the honking from passing cars are quite the harmony. 😁 Stop by and take a listen! Sat., 3/14, 11 am 1300 Rockville Pike.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

"This is chemical warfare, as inhumane ..."
"The price of oil climbs higher by the hour, the argument for clean energy gets more obvious by the minute, and it is up to all of us to push hard for a new American government that’s part of the solution, not the cause of the crisis."

A record warm winter could send Lake Powell to a historic low. Flaming Gorge may be its lifeline. Utah just wrapped up its warmest winter on record. The water supply outlook is well below normal, and Lake Powell could hit a dangerous low.

Colorado River in crisis.

Beyond the honking, waving, and flashing lights from cars on I-95 passing under Gorman Rd, MD at @indivisiblehocomd.bsky.social banner drop, what are the drivers actually thinking? Well, here's one thought from an IG post yesterday. πŸ‘πŸ˜

Not by itself. No single atrocity is going to do that. It's going to be the cumulative effect over time. Will the sampling of cars provide an early indication?

Well, the numbers didn't show that. Of course, there are always other factors involved. But, it seems the story is more that, with the constant flood of atrocious actions in the news, even a war is not going to change too much how people feel.

Sampled cars yesterday at @indivisiblehocomd.bsky.social banner drop on Gorman Rd over I-95, MD, to see if there was a "war bump," i.e., increased positive reactions (honking, waving, flashing lights). While sampling, it certainly sounded as the traffic down there was louder and more animated.
