The BBB you see here is just a min of what the entire bill is going to do to this country. Nov 3rd is the only way we can 🛑 this. It's the only way we can start reversing the damage #Republicans & #ElonMusk & #DonaldTrump Has done to us. Vote like your life depends on it, it does. 🗳️🇺🇸
May I point out that both El-Sayed and Stevens are Millennials. Generational shift. It's here. It's time. November up here won't just be about progressivism vs. fascism. It will also be about the future vs. the past.
republicans HATE women! they hate far too many things to be good for anything. Time for us to vote them out of existence!!

I'd argue that every social media site is a bubble. Folks are just mad because Twitter's bubble changed and is no longer profitable. So now Elon and his devotees want to ruin BlueSky out of spite. And given that BlueSky's staff is softer than Carvel, they may get their wish.
Healthcare premiums have skyrocketed. Why? Because Trump and Republicans REFUSED to extend the ACA tax credits. They’d rather let Americans get sick.

I'm no expert, not even an MD, but it's more complicated than just the physical genitalia people are born with. There are many "intersex" people with no simple gender assignment at all. Also, check out this amazing story of girls turning into boys at puberty. www.sciencealert.com/remote-town-...

The "darkside" of solar panels does famers some good! energiesmedia.com/solar-panels...
American farmers slid solar panels over 62,000 acres of farmland, and the biggest payoff had almost nothing to do with electricity
Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.

Ok so this lady says solar panels are getting built on "the most productive farmland" in her area. Which just ain't true at all. It ain't true here in NC either. Where I ALSO hear that talking point over & over again. Smells like astroturf! So let's get the dirt on solar farms & dirt ✨
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 6d agoI genuinely don't know what to do about this. In our diseased information environment, one MAGA-adjacent "influencer" can do more to shape public opinion than mountains of studies or facts. Where are the pro-clean-energy influencers to counter this shit?

Forget whether the wine and bread have been consecrated, the WHOLE POINT of communion, even for protestants, is the confession, repentance, and absolution. If you're not doing that part, WITH PEOPLE, it's not communion. ("wherever two or more are gathered in my name...")
