Crying as I type . . . (with laughter)
Here's a list of 11 energy storage technologies for wind and solar:
I thought that as well. I just spent 20 minutes researching the origin. It looks like it was actually posted on X by the DOE account.
Couldn’t have said it better myself…
Same!!!
Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP
I admire Dan Rather, and I greatly enjoy his regular essays in “Steady.” It impresses me that he continues to write so eloquently about important political issues, at his age of 93.
Massie: "I don't know if the Speaker misspoke when he said Donald Trump was an informant ... the Speaker needs to clarify that. And if it's a hoax, why was Donald Trump an informant to a hoax?"
Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.
Protesters fill the streets against ICE in Chicago 9/6/25
Harvard did. I hope when their lawsuit reaches SCOTUS, they actually follow the law and the constitution.
Maga
He doesn’t like that Tom Hanks supported Democrats in 2024, but he ALSO doesn’t like for anyone notable to be given a prestigious award. Because he’s an envious a__hole.
Pettiest man alive.
I look so forward to these hysterically funny, and also brilliant, posts!! It’s also so satisfying knowing these posts are a thorn in maga’s skin!! Thank you, Governor Newsom and your amazing PR staff!
OMG 😆 🤣 😂 He's on a roll!
The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.
You think she's gone. But just under the surface. Under the lies and hate and idiocy. There she is. There is the America I know. We love you, Chicago. 💙 #chicago #ice #trump #resist #war
You sound maga. Blocked.
He’s disgusting and reprehensible, Inside and outside.
This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something
Sounds like a maga comment. What about the many people in the tourism industry who rely on tourists to make a living?? I bet THEY miss the tourists.
That’s an extra expense for people, and requires time off work for people who have jobs. It’s unfair and unnecessary.
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
Yeah, I just got into an argument with a bully who “did his own research.” Who am I, just a public health RN with 30 years of experience, so whatever… 😵💫 #NursesOfBluesky #GetVaccinated #FireRFK #Resist #PublicHealth #COVID #Flu #MMR #LoveThyNeighbor #DoNoHarm
Love Dr Drake Ramoray!! 😊
Taco is looking to revise the history of 9/11 by taking control of the memorial and museum from the charity that runs it. He probably wants to remove any mentions of when he bragged he had the tallest building in the area after the towers fell. What an asshole. apnews.com/article/911-...
What legal standing does the federal government have take control of it, when it doesn’t receive federal funding?
Ugh!
How can he say it was a hoax, when he was there as an undercover FBI agent??!! s/
California stepping up when Washington steps back 👏 Newsom’s move shows real leadership—building alliances to protect lives and land from wildfires. A reminder that when communities work together, safety and resilience win. 🌎🔥💪
🤔
And yet he forgot to testify about his findings once Epstein went to trial. Yeah, this makes perfect sense.....s/
Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…
Mamdani has raised the max he’s allowed to spend. So he’s created this brilliant ad.
Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."
In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions. In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.
Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.” Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.
Blumenthal: They’ve exhausted the 120 days for Alina Habba, and so they’ve tried to make her acting US Attorney. But the statutes simply don’t authorize that. A judge has concluded she is without authority for any of the actions she’s taken. Everything she’s done could be challenged.
Bluesky is the first place I check when I want to know the latest news. And I enjoy reading the many interesting user posts.
Umm … it’s pretty stupid.
So maybe the problem wasn’t with the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics?
Hey Las Vegas, make sure everyone you know here is aware that it’s RFK’s fault they can’t get a Covid vaccine. There seems to be a lot of ppl who don’t know what the pharmacies are telling them they can’t get it. #lasvegas @lvgrassroots.bsky.social @lasvegaslocally.bsky.social
Same. Tylenol doesn’t alleviate my pain at all. My GP told me he’s had other patients who Tylenol doesn’t help.
Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.
#vaccineswork
If you’re wondering how much of what RFK Jr said yesterday about vaccines was true—almost none of it was. @FullerLab_UW is one of the most accomplished vaccinologists out there and her article is required reading to separate truth from falsehoods. theconversation.com/how-rfk-jr-s...
Where is this information sourced from?
Very believable! 🤣🤣🤣
The Onion has made maybe the funniest thing we've ever done and I can't talk about it yet and it is killing me.
BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.
Yes, excellent point! I wasn’t aware of that. I watch and read a lot of news, but there is simply too much to keep up with under this regime.
I think it’s important to note it’s a Musk battery competitor.
The Hyundai Raid was a clear-cut act of government hostility. Let Hyundai close up shop, move their business elsewhere, let employees turn to their state and federal representatives to demand answers, demand accountability, and let their votes be an answer to this atrocity.
I’ve read that tourism to the US is down 30%, and that it’s hurting people in the tourism industry. But I do not understand why tourism to the US isn’t down 75% or more!
It would be terrible if he became upset over some chant like "WE. 👏 WANT. 👏 THE EPSTEIN. 👏 FILES. 👏" I earnestly hope and pray this does not happen. 🙏🏼
Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).
WE.WILL.KNOW.ALL. OF. THEIR. NAMES. They better know that. The hiding is over.
Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
I'm old enough to remember classmates wearing braces on their legs and the fear of "the iron lung". Any parent that refuses to vaccinate their children should be guilty of child abuse. There is NO EXCUSE to put your child at risk, especially if you are listening to an idiot with no medical degree.
Priorities.
of course they are, where do you think the immigrant children are going?
In international waters? Thet don't have the authority to do anything. They can follow it. And track it. Attacking another boat is piracy, and killing people is murder.
This is what lawlessness looks and sounds like
It’s ok with me if a lot of magas take their medical advice from him, too. At least, the ones whose children are grown.
And the countries who were former and longtime allies of the US will probably think the same way. I worry so much about the future of our country, for the sake of my children and grandchildren.
So much greatness.
Mitch could have permanently rid the US of trump in Jan 2021, after the House impeached trump for the violent attempted coup. But for whatever reason, Mitch, as Senate Minority Leader, told the Repub senators NOT to vote to convict trump. I put a LOT of blame on Mitch for all that’s happened since.
CNN put together a clip of RKF Jr denying today he linked antidepressants and mass shootings, followed by a clip of RFK Jr last week linking antidepressants and mass shootings
🚨🚨🚨No words, just watch and listen! Holy shit. 1/2
Bennet runs out of patience with RFK Jr and yells at him that "I'm asking the questions on behalf of parents and schools and teachers all over the United States of America who deserve so much better than your leadership! That's what this conversation is about."
👀
Clueless ... deliberately ... as usual www.youtube.com/live/VWwdODa...
Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…
Nothing says “Nobel Peace prize” quite like the changing the name of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.”
Today's bulletin is a must read: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...
I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.
I’m in my early 70s, and I’ve been proud to be an American (and a caring, liberal Democrat) my entire adult life. But - having read your opening sentence, “The HHS and CDC have fallen,” I’m sitting here crying. Of course your statement is TRUE. And it is HEARTBREAKING.
The HHS and CDC have fallen. Florida's surgeon general wants your kids dead. California, Oregon, and Washington have formed the Western Health Alliance to preserve vaccine access and not let the whole country slip into idiocy. www.opb.org/article/2025...
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
I'm confused. The worst Surgeon General in America stops all vaccine mandates in Florida, likening them to "slavery." But Florida also teaches that slavery was "good" because it taught valuable skills with no downsides. So is slavery good or bad, Florida? www.newsweek.com/florida-vacc...
Oh man, Rand paul makes a lot of sense here
We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...
even 81% is too low. People who don't think vaccines should be mandated should be required to visit pre WW2 cemeteries to see how many tombstones of children are there & then educated that the reason far more children reach adulthood now is due to vaccines.
Same thing. Ignorance and 'false knowledge' to be specific. What propaganda exploits bsky.app/profile/chri...
Fake account - NOT Bluesky store
RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again." So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines. Do I have this right?
