A thread -- which world leaders are calling for a shift to clean energy as a security investment in light of Iran War?
First up, French President Macron: "...everything we do to more toward the transition is also about reducing our dependence.." (1/x)

And I ask again: Where are my Harper’s letter writers at?
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
The appointees at DOE are just living in a different reality than the rest of us. The illegal project terminations, illegal reprogrammings, and war in Iran are the main drivers of energy scarcity and cost surges.
People make a big deal about sound from wind turbines. I couldn’t hear the turbine whir in Wyoming over the deafening Interstate 80 traffic noise.
We biked through farmland doing at least triple duty in Sicily. Orchard, sheep, wind farm. Didn’t hear the turbines above the sheep & wind noise
We exist in a meme stock economy in case some of you haven’t realized that yet.
Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.
excuse me, why are Democrats voting for this nonsense?

bari weiss has an audience of at most 500,000 that largely consists of rich elites with reactionary opinions
putting that kind of person in charge of a mass media company that serves millions would be considered a bad business decision in any context

the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.
I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'?
The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!
Lindsey Cormack undertook a study to see if any actual data backs up that Third Way memo that got sharted onto the internet last week and you've never believe it but Third Way is operating on vibes more than facts

they shouldn’t even be allowed to call themselves “third way.” don’t insult anal like that.
In a waiting room, and this lady chatting w/ the receiptionist is doing a great job explaining the actual impact of the DOGE cuts: *everyone* at her office laid off, what kinds of programs they do & who they help (kids), what's happening w the injunction. These personal stories need more attention!
with all due respect to Tyler, and I do deeply respect him, I did actually foresee this *entire thing* for @heatmap.news in my first story for them almost one year ago today

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building
for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem
And the person who turned up to support him with no notice is the Muslim dude who have cross endorsed each other and who the msm has been going into overtime to cast him as antisemitic
Trump and Musk agree on the fundamentals:
*Both see the US state as something to capture for megalomaniacal self-dealing
*Both agree the US state should abandon the global poor to face unimaginable suffering
*Both want the state to dramatically roll back help for working people and the poor
We keep hearing the Trump-Musk saga reveals the split between tech oligarchs and MAGA. But they're largely in sync on crucial matters involving egalitarianism and the state. Trump/Musk mainly differ over how badly to screw the poor.
Some thoughts on this here:
