White House moves to keep costly, dirty, unneeded Michigan coal plants open

I tried to make a longer rant than my usual clips. So this is more practice than anything else.
A rant about when you're in a bad neighborhood, the only nice looking buildings are run by the government. The only park within a short walking trip of my home (about a mile and a half) is only there as the courthouse, library and #police station needed to look nice.
If the #usa cared about its people, everything would be like this.
Dammit people, do you not see the crossroads we are at? We are in Nazi Germany, at the twilight of civility before fascism firmly takes root and can no longer be stopped. You can't just stand there aghast and scandalized and talk about how it's illegal or shocking or vile. If we don't take *action*, the chance for action will pass.
We are witnessing the active consolidation of power by a fascist government as politicians and judges are arrested and harrassed, people are rounded up and sent to camps, the armed forces are mobilized against our citizens, rule of law is discarded, and war is looming.
What else do you need to see to convince you that we are OUT OF FUCKING TIME? Act now, in defense of your neighbors and your representatives and your nation, or expect it all to be yanked from your hands for the duration of the long, dark night. It is a countdown to war and death camps. This isn't a game. This isn't a hypothetical. IT IS FUCKING HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
i believe a thank you is in order for the sponsors of today's military action

"Since June 6 — when the Department of Homeland Security began widespread raids throughout the Los Angeles region — the number of immigrant parents making emergency arrangements for their children’s care has skyrocketed. Parents have flooded legal rights organizations in person and on Zoom for help filling out the forms that will designate another adult to take over responsibility of their children, many of whom are citizens, if they are detained or deported."
🚨NEW: President Trump’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, quietly raised over $50 million through private token sales—
likely sending tens of millions to him and his family.

I found a #youtube video that was 47 minutes long and titled "Why Everything Feels Like a Scam Now" and I thought -
Well it is, cuz that's what poorly regulated #capitalism does after a while, and I just saved myself 47 minutes.
Wise words from Timothy Snyder: "Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics."
Madman #politics: "He’d already been having a rough few weeks: adverse reactions to his mass deportations & step-by-step imposition of martial law, the slow crumbling of his foolhardy tariff regime, growing opposition to his "big beautiful bill." & now this. Anyone could see it was more than a man, esp. a narcissist, could take."

During the California farm raids, ICE attacked a person in wheelchair.
Proving once again that they’re no more than modern day Brownshirt bullies.
A canister of tear gas had been thrown at the disabled man and landed underneath his wheelchair, making it difficult for him to move.
Jonathan Caravello, a lecturer in philosophy from California State University Channel Islands, tried to defend the man in the wheelchair.
He was reportedly piled on by multiracial IVE agents, tackled and arrested.
His crime? Trying to protect a disabled immigrant.
We just keep sinking to new lows.
I want to say thank you to professor Caravello for doing the right thing and standing up for someone who’s was unfairly put in harms way.
He’s a hero.
40% of public radio stations serve rural news deserts—areas already drowning in Fox propaganda.
Yet the GOP just cut $9 billion from already-approved funding. The House passed it (216-213), the Senate forced it through (51-48), and sent it to Trump—all in hours.
The kicker? This money was just allocated days ago in the reconciliation bill. They passed one bill to fund it, then another to gut it.
Republicans know *exactly* what they’re doing.

I'm about as strategic a voter as they come ... in general elections. If it's down to two evils, I'm there, every single time, first in line to vote for the lesser one.
But I will scream until my dying day that primaries just aren't for that. Primaries are about preference. They're for picking the one you like best. That's why I love giant primaries with a dozen candidates and ranked choice voting. It's my favorite kind of democracy. It's both effective and sincerely fun for me.
So if you're in New York City, a city I love but don't vote in, please vote your preference, not what someone else tells you is smart or strategic. Vote your values and don't believe them when they say you have to compromise. Not yet. And please, please, don't rank Cuomo.
Mr. President, is the ceasefire in the room with us?
“The launches came after 4 a.m. local time in Tehran, the time Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel ended their airstrikes.”
First time I've heard of Zohran Mamdani, he sounds great. The left needs inspiring candidates like this.

Really enjoy the entire world having to worry about the minute-to-minute emotional state of a 79-year old narcissistic rapist and fraudster. It really brings home how effective constitutional democracy actually is.

We are under seige in #LA:
A suspected fed. agent is seen exiting a Dodge Charger @ an intersection & pointing his gun @ members of the public. Acc. to #Pasadena officials, the vehicle's license plate is a "cold plate," or untraceable, which is typically used by law enforcement in undercover criminal operations. "One question is this a law enforcement agent or someone pretending to be a law enforcement agent, & there is no good answer" (Mayor Gordo).

Report: Danish shipping giant Maersk will divest from companies linked to Israel’s illegal settlements after a sustained pressure campaign by activists.
"Compliance with international law and basic human rights is not optional. Doing business with Israel’s illegal settlements is no longer viable.”
#Palestinian Youth Movement
The group is now calling for Maersk to stop transporting F-35 fighter jet parts.

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t

This is personal: "Appointing the 4 Horseman of the Scientific Apocalypse — RFK Jr. as Sec of #HHS, Dr. Oz to run Medicare & Medicaid services, Dr. Makary as head of the #FDA & Dr. Bhattacharya to run# NIH — has signaled the end of any serious approach to biomedical #science & public health by the federal govt. Together & separately, they have taken a wrecking ball to our august scientific institutions that were previously considered to be the best in the world."
