✈️ Planes, 🚄 trains & 🔋🚙 electric vehicles. I am a father, European male and likely part of the problem. But I am working really, really hard to be part of the solution. 🏳️🌈 defreyssi.net
If the US government is collecting 10% or higher tariffs on every imported item, one has to wonder where all that money is going? I am not seeing a 10% improvement in infrastructure, cost of living, healthcare benefits, transport, the environment, lower taxes, … So where is it? I wonder 🤔
Trump knows he's about to lose again. Unless, that is, he cheats.
Why is Trump going to lie about our elections from the Oval Office tonight in a prime-time speech? There's 2.2 billion reasons. He has turned the presidency into the most lucrative grift in political history, and he doesn't wanna to lose his MAGA protectors in Congress. From me, pass it on.
It is as though the media just caught up with the fact that the US govt is run by a bunch of old, white, boomer men. It’s time we changed that.
The California governors race is largely uninspiring. I know Kamala has no interest in this, but feel she would be a shoe in if she was on the ticket. I am not a advocate for personality politics, but some personality does help.
I know creating a phone is incredibly hard, both from a hardware and software standpoint. But if there was a phone from someone like Framework that ran a credible Linux based OS I would be at the front of the line to buy it
I spent today at CleanTechnica's Electric Home Show in Hawaii. It's the first (not not the last) one - national politics isn't stopping people finding the local solutions that are best for them. It felt like the first Fully Charged Show LIVE, 8-9 years ago - a new community forming. More of this!
Smoke and mirrors over at the correspondents dinner to distract from ever more vandalism of important roles in the government? I am not generally a tin foil hat wearer but it makes one wonder 🤔 ground.news/article/trum...

Yo Democrats. Lets put forward candidates of integrity rather than just being morally slightly better than what republicans have offered us. Let’s try some progressive policies on healthcare, student loans and alternative energy - i guarantee you, it will be popular. Eric Swalwell is not that.
I preferred it when reality distortion bubbles were largely confined to the tech industry.
“Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Tyranny requires effort.” Stay strong. Keep resisting. This tyrant will be overcome.
The problem with telling the world to “go find their own oil” if they don’t back US actions in Iran is… the world will do just that. But rather than oil it will go find something cheaper, cleaner and sustainable instead.
Have to admit, driving my EV charged purely on home generated solar energy feels pretty good right now. How’s that gas working out for you?
Okay, I just want to point out that if you have been considering an electric car, I would really consider doing that quickly because things do not look good re: oil availability and cost. Used EVs are currently a screaming deal. I have a feeling this will not be the case for too much longer.
there's like a 27% chance that Trump thinks the presidential portraits in the White House can talk
Peter Baker@peterbakernyt.bsky.social · 7mo agoTrump says a former president told him "I wish I did what you did" with Iran. Who might that be? Trump says it wasn't Bush and people close to Biden, Obama and Clinton all deny they've been talking war with Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...
You could not write this. President goes telling the rest of the world to fornicate off and insult other countries for not committing enough to previous illegal wars the US has started. Then, as the Iran war gets hard, President asks the world for help, because committing is unpopular at home. 🥱

Clearly I missed the master plan. 1. Remove all EV subsidies to please the oil companies who donated to your campaign. 2. Then attack another oil producing country, instantly raising oil prices. 3. Immediately drive up consumer demand for purchasing EVs. 💡
Do you know who is not unhappy about oil prices rising due to the war with Iran? People who are selling oil, i.e. oil companies! Expect eye watering bumper profits next year, fueling the funding of future corruption.
Let us not forget that this is all just a giant distraction for US citizens, so that we the people do not ask the eternal question; what is in the Epstein files?
Here we are again. Call your representatives and demand they act before it's too late: (202)-224-3121
Other figures say 40. Posting for clarity but whether it’s 85, 40, literally any number big or small, a dead child is a dead child. They didn’t do anything. We are not the good guys here. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

It is somewhat reassuring to see a company stick to its principles and maintain those principles even when $200m in government contracts is on the line.
