RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

IDF spokesperson: "we are doing everything we can to keep civilians out of harms way" Like dropping 2,000lb bombs on densely crowded refugee camps, killing 15 medics in cold blood, firing 355 bullets into a car to slaughter a family, double tap strikes to murder journalists etc?

We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

The fossil lobby’s last gasp is loud—but futile. Batteries & solar → fastest-growing energy in history. EVs? 3m in 2020 → 21m in 2025. The tide isn’t turning back—math, markets & machines are unstoppable. The future isn’t fire, it’s electrons. Ignore the noise, follow the facts. #EnergyTransition

“They advocate the removal of almost all public officials and services, increasing the numbers of the armed forces and police, building up the capacity for repression by the powers that be, no longer public, but corporate and business. [DOGE and militia-style police (ICE)] is a trial run of this.”

China is going to eclipse the US based off electricity alone. They have a modern grid and have been increasingly electrifying their economy. They have massive surpluses of electricity and a lot based in renewables. The US has an aging grid and is tied to a future of burning fossil fuel for energy.
