Solar power is the cheapest electricity in history and in 2024 delivered 2/3rds of new capacity and 40% of new global generation. Yet myths, often politically motivated, are holding back its progress. @carbonbrief.org debunks 16 of of the biggest ☀️ myths👇 interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...
F THAT. Hands off social security.
The real workers of "america".
While billionaires convert the government into their private slush fund, we’re coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. #LaborDay2025

Brilliant
It’s been 100 years since A. Philip Randolph organized Black sleeping car porters and got them into the AFL while half the affiliates were whites only. And in WWII he told FDR he’d lead a march on Washington if the armed services and fed bureaus weren’t desegregated. He won. BlackLaborMatters✊🏽

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
This #LaborDay, let’s remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce. If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion). Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America. Is weakening America worth owning the libs? #OnYourSide
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
signed a letter challenging the leadership of Administrator Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump. We shared their letter of dissent about a week ago.
If you aren’t completely loyal to the regime or dare to voice dissent, you risk being removed. Time and again, anyone who stands up is pushed out. Most recently, the Environmental Protection Agency dismissed eight employees after they
what the for-profit power companies bot and paid for w/this guy in the white house.

ICE should not be detaining any U.S. citizens, period. Congress must pass my legislation to ban this practice immediately. www.newsweek.com/us-citizen-d...
so the latest distraction from RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES is to invade Venezuela? sheesh.
the oligarchs own mainstream media.
Newsom is kicking MAGA ass. Voting is not a marriage proposal. vote for the person who can beat the repub.
YES OF COURSE
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
We won't shop at companies that profit off detention. Beginning today, we call on everyone who wants ICE out of our communities to #BoycottAmazon and all of its consumer brands, including #BoycottWholeFoods. Sign the pledge and tell us you're on board: FreeDCproject.org/amazon
Working people across the DC are unified in our demands: we want these federal forces out of our city now! #FreeDC

RFK Jr. has appointed Jim O’Neill, a man who's not a scientist, as acting director of the CDC. And to make matters worse, O' Neill also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement.
Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think it’s new and I love it!
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.

The goals of the Insurrectionists were to overthrow our government and to assassinate Members of Congress and the Vice President. Never forget that.
WTAF?!
It just gets dumber every fucking day.
yeah, who needs a top russia expert. 😱
The GOP is preparing to change Senate rules to make it easier to adopt Trump’s agenda and confirm nominees. Good thing Manchin and Sinema “preserved democracy” with their performative bullshit. Dems have to quit holding themselves to standards the GOP won’t meet.
We are F'ed.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
While Trump goes backward on clean energy development, California pushes forward in building an affordable, clean energy future. I signed a new executive order to maintain our progress in adding clean electricity to our power grid while protecting thousands of good-paying jobs.

This afternoon, I visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia and other detainees at the Farmville Detention Center to deliver letters from his family. He wants to keep fighting for justice.
This BS is getting old. Vote 💙
Too bad #Pritzker can't deploy the IL State Guard to keep them confined to the naval installation.
Soooooo wrong.
I think the pain and burnout may overwhelm people, plus they don't want to lose their pension.
😢
except #AgSecy is ignoring that part of the constitution by allowing 'faith-based' practices in the workplace. #BS
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
Thank you #BernieSanders for constantly speaking out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAOh...

Ossoff: "Let me just say this about Vance, bc he was supposed to be this avatar of a new GOP that was for working class people. His legacy forever now is casting the decisive vote to throw millions off healthcare, throw seniors out of nursing home beds all to serve the wealthiest ppl in the country"
🚨BREAKING: The California Supreme Court has DENIED the GOP's emergency petition to block the state’s new redistricting plan, ruling that GOP lawmakers had “failed to meet their burden of establishing a basis for relief” under the state Constitution. Follow @democracydocket.com for full details.
Rep. Vince Perez: Under this map, a Hispanic Texan's vote counts about one-third, and a Black Texan's just one-fifth, compared to a white Texan's.
Hey look. It’s the worst economy since the last time Trump was in office. Probably just a coincidence
#RosieO'Donnell you lucky girl--you are on #JoshJohnson's standup. :)
What if we created a new banking system that also helped save the planet? It's a big idea well worth reading about: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
ok but don't take AIPAC $.
Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points. “Oh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,” won’t have much appeal.

NEW: A Senate investigation led by Sen. Jon Ossoff found more than 500 credible reports of abuses in ICE custody, including alleged mistreatment of pregnant women and children. @dell.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/senate...
“You’re saying to Texas voters: you don’t get to pick who represents you. Donald Trump picks who represents you.”
Earthjustice has launched 96 legal actions against the Trump administration this year, that's nearly 3x more than in the first 6 months of his first term. And we’re winning. Just last week, a federal judge ordered USDA to reinstate grants for farmers and nonprofits that had been terminated.
In his first week, Trump tried to strip away a third of California’s budget. We went to court less than 24 hours later and stopped him. @robbonta.bsky.social has protected almost $170 BILLION for Californians’ healthcare, education, and livelihoods. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Eight House Democratic members will be forced back onto the floor tonight after publicly tearing up the Republican-mandated “permission slips” required to leave the chamber. They will remain there, held against their will.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
isn't she in his camp?
On Monday, Republican House Speaker Dustin Burrows ordered that the returning lawmakers could only leave the House floor with written permission and a 24-hour police escort until the House reconvened on Wednesday. Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier stood her ground.
Back to school shopping is more expensive this year – and Trump’s random tariff policies are making it worse.
Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
so spiteful. leave her alone.
Exclusive video from Texas Rep. Nicole Collier on the House floor.
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time,” writes former CDC Director William Foege. www.statnews.com/2025/08/18/r...
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.
"I'm not going to be part of that process that gives [Trump] more reinforcement to harm my community and my people." Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier is being held in the State Capitol for refusing to comply with a Republican demand that she allow herself to be chaperoned by police.
Such an embarrassment. These are heads of states and he has them around his desk as though he was having a staff meeting. Disgusting. No world leader should bother with this maniac.
Every time I've visited the DTLA detention center unannounced, ICE locked me out. They're desperate to hide the horrifying conditions inside and betting we’ll just give up. Well that's not happening, and we won’t stop until every detail is exposed.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
Much better idea. So if the goons decide to gang up on him again, they've got to do it to more people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Pp...
There are too many members of ICE, the National Guard, and local police forces who are failing their oaths and betraying the trust this nation has in them. I am waiting for conscientious objectors in Trump's war on our citizenry to step up. Where are the people of morality and courage?
take another day or two off
Nah--they all work for him.
Is there any agency that can stop him gilding the WH or building the Ballroom?

Trump's raids on DC's homeless encampments are starting tonight, although most of these people have nowhere else to go. “In DC, there are, right now, 30 open shelter beds for men and 30 open shelter beds for women… So for all intents and purposes, there’s nowhere else for people to go.”

Social Security turns 90 today. It is the most successful government program of all time. It’s the reason I got to see my parents, who worked hard their entire lives, have a decent retirement. These are your funds, and I’ll fight like hell to protect them. youtube.com/shorts/KNSPa...
You can’t assert the former without the latter also being true.
spot on
