This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea
If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...
Jesus. F*cking. Christ.
The media economy rewards attention, not expertise.
So I built a dataset of progressive/left experts worth following: scientists, journalists, organizers, legal scholars, disinfo researchers, and more, with the credibility to match the following.

The U.S. military is not any president’s plaything. The Constitution puts the responsibility on Congress alone to decide whether and when to take on the profound costs of war.
It’s clear that saving American climate science requires that the community discard the myth of political neutrality, engage in a concerted defense of liberal democracy, and stand in solidarity with this administration’s other targets. trib.al/cQFeXBO
Donald Trump has not made the case to the American people for his new war.
There was no imminent threat to the country that justified putting our troops at risk.
I'll be helping force a debate and vote in the Senate that would end it.
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
Anyone who believes that Iran was not or has not been prepared to replace the ayatollah for a long time now, or can't bounce back from this in a few months is gonna be really disappointed. If the goal was in fact regime change, this was the absolute dead-last dumbest & most dangerous way to do it.
The plan would mandate voter ID and ban mail-in balloting, and calls on Trump to issue an executive order announcing both measures. trib.al/l91h3NT
White text: "Tell Congress: No unconstitutional war with Iran". ACLU logo. Photos of the Capitol and military troops. Dark red background.
Tell your members of Congress: Vote YES on the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution and end President Trump’s unconstitutional and unauthorized use of military force against Iran.

RED ALERT: EPA Head Lee Zeldin has proposed weakening the Good Neighbor Rule, potentially putting millions of people at risk of health-harming ozone pollution. Take action to protect our kids with us! app.sosha.ai/s/Y54Jek2I
Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers
Congress and the courts are refusing to give Trump what he wants, so he’s concocting a new plan to seize control of the election. Here’s what you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Buffalo.
Minneapolis.
Portland.
Everywhere they go they leave devastation in their wake and it EASILY could be your town next.
“As far as I can tell, not a single Republican lawmaker has informed the public that the Save America Act would compel all 50 states to send their voter registration rolls to the DHS or that the DHS would then run the rolls through its ‘SAVE’ voter purge system.” 2/26/26 …1/
We absolutely should root out fraud – and there are a lot of ways to do it that DON’T involve throwing a giant wrench in the health care of seniors, people with disabilities and kids.
This isn’t one of those ways.
Jeffries on Fox News Sunday: "We believe this moment should be used to make dramatic changes to ICE that are bold, transformational, and meaningful ... these are basic, common sense demands."
Good reporting, thank you!
Can you bridge your account so your posts are visible from the fediverse (eg mastodon)? I’d like to be able to boost your stuff from there.

ICE is overpaying massively for its detention centers. Who is pocketing those profits?
Something stinks here, and it’s our tax dollars paying for it. Tell a friend.
And let’s not forget about impeaching this absolute awful excuse of a DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem!
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.
there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.
We're working to quash this subpoena to protect our client's First Amendment rights.
NEW: Senator Ed Markey just introduced a critical bill that would ban ICE and CBP from buying or using facial recognition technology to go after our communities.
Congress must pass the ICE Out of My Face Act and use their funding power to rein in these out-of-control agencies.
A first step, sure. But there’s usually only 150 in the entire state. This drawdown means there will still be around 2,300 (15x the normal amount) unaccountable federal agents roaming our streets.
Women who took their spouses’ last names (& others with name changes) could get around the birth certificate problem if they have passports. But not everyone has one. And getting one takes time & $$$. The GOP’s bill doesn’t even offer to cover the expense, making it equivalent to a poll tax.
Wow, @tjnorrisart.bsky.social , How did you resurect this months’ old tweet?
