I'm a musician and a student of history, politics and economics. As a middle aged married white male, I’m deeply concerned about the authoritarian direction our nation has taken.
Absolutely agree with Timothy Snyder!!!
The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

This is exactly what we need to continue doing
as trump keeps beating up on renewables, a new analysis shows that we can basically offset data center emissions simply by boosting wind and solar a little bit more:
The AI Boom Will Increase US Carbon Emissions—but It Doesn’t Have To
A new analysis finds that data centers’ energy demands will drastically increase power plant emissions over the next decade. Renewables, though, could cut them while helping keep prices from rising.

This is great as in this attorney is standing up for her clients and showing these thugs that we are still a nation of laws and that the Constitution still matters.
Out of town ICE thugs physically intimidate an immigration attorney protecting her clients.
ATTORNEY: "Don't push me! Why are you trying to pick them up?"
ICE GOON: "It's none of your business!"
ATTORNEY: "It is my business—I'm their attorney. It's EXACTLY my business!"
They give up and leave 😭

Gov. Newsom at Davos rips into world leaders who think they can appease Trump: “I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.…this is pathetic”

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Exactly!!! Mr. Ross needs to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law
Gallego: "What type of man decides to walk around with a phone camera & at same time tries to make life & death decisions, then decides to pump one bullet that may have been forward-facing, but clearly the other 2 were on the side. Who is he? Clearly not someone who should be in law enforcement."

I'm really worried too. The best we can do now is to bring on Maria Corina Machado is the legitimate President and the US needs to get out. As bad as Maduro, it wasn't our place to take him out. There should be congressional and even UN authorization before this move was made.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I really like her!! She is absolutely correct that she and her family are much wealthier than the trumps could ever hope to be because there is a lot of love in their family and they give that love to everyone.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

Exactly!!! We really need to accelerate our transition to renewables rather than slowing it down.
Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.
