This is what makes Trump’s attacks on EVs so stupid. To salvage a failing industry that happens to include his big crooked donors, he’s sabotaging America’s auto industry in international competition. Everything else aside, EVs are just better vehicles. www.eenews.net/articles/dri...

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.
Who can deny we now live under a fascist regime?
IrmaM@irmam.bsky.social · 3d agoTrump has designated "Antifa" a domestic terrorist organization so that he can charge protesters with felony charges. Think it can't happen in the US, read about the Texas ICE protestors sentenced to 30-100 years in prison. www.pbs.org/newshour/cla...

Particularly given that Trump has done so much of this or similar, I'm a bit sad they didn't include "defraud MAGAts at scale." The support numbers would still be sky-high. But it would be a useful demonstrative. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.
Lest we forget: When a loud noise is unexpected, a normal/healthy physiologic response is to look *toward* the noise. This *reflex* reaction helps us to identify potential dangers and evaluate our safety level. Not looking toward the noise is *highly indicative of foreknowledge*. #BodyLanguageExpert
Prices are rising, families are struggling; children are going hungry; people have been kicked off Medicaid; seniors are about to lose the option for Medicare Part D (prescription drug insurance) & the ass-hat in the WH is gold plating horse statues! FUCK! Is this how you want YOUR tax $ spent?
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 7d agoThe guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.
61 years ago, Medicaid was signed into law. 1 year ago, the GOP gutted it to fund tax cuts for the rich. Today, 61 co-sponsors are joining together to hold the GOP accountable for closing hospitals, terminating coverage for 15 million, and raising costs for us all. #HealthcareHeist

Elon Musk is helping to destroy the West "The world’s richest man is a thin-skinned megalomaniac defined by his ignorance, deceit and bigotry. The interview Elon Musk gave to The Economist was certainly revealing. It helps underline why the West is in crisis - which it is." Owen Jones Substack

The U.S. dumped 500,000 tons of oyster shells back into the ocean in 2007. Nearly two decades later, they have created a thriving habitat for thousands of marine species. The long-term restoration project was designed to rebuild damaged marine ecosystems, and the results are now becoming clear.

What kind of a broken, morally defective culture produces entitled pricks like this? There are many millions of white men who act just like this in America. The real problem of a nation that spawns sadistic bullies is never addressed. Toxic arrogance. Our defense & DHS budgets say everything.
