#BlueEarth #ClimateBreakdown

We need common sense in a time of madness. You don't have to believe in climate change, human caused or not.

No matter what, we need more power now; fossil fuels, renewables & the brand new. The more energy options we have at different price points, the better!

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to send the National Guard to Chicago.

He's hell bent on using the military against the people it's supposed to protect.

If this was any other country we'd call it what it is: a power-hungry dictator trying to intimidate the people.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Your actions have consequences.

You choose not to vote, you lose your say.

You elect a felon, expect to get robbed.

“The problem is that Americans thought it was ok to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of The United States and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.”

A reminder in light of the recent Politico piece on the Young Republicans‘ horrendous chat group

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 20h

This dynamic of Young Republicans staking out positions far to the right of older, more "normie" Republicans has been a feature of the US conservative movement since the 1960s. Over time those further right elements just got incorporated into the mainstream. bsky.app/profile/seth...

In 1966 the New Jersey Young Republicans had a habit of singing racist and antisemitic songs at their gatherings. The lyrics to one went “Riding the Reich in my Mercedes Benz, shooting every kike, saving all my friends." Hartford Courant, 13 February 1966.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Chicago Sun-Times @chicago.suntimes.com · 19h

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

Trump and Miller will probably get the blood in the streets they want eventually. We don’t know when or how it will unfold, or how the public will come to perceive it. But we do know that no matter how it unfolds or is perceived, it is already their fault. All we can do is our best.

It'll Be Trump's Fault

Donald Trump created this unstable equilibrium; no matter how it breaks down, it will be his fault.
