I just like to post this about #J6 every once in a while as a dig at the people that say that the DOJ hasn't been doing enough. The fact of the matter is that they've been swamped without enough resources and have been doing pretty damn good.

Yes, Republicans have had some huge wins for themselves and their corporate cronies lately especially because they control the SCOTUS, but also because they have control over the Speaker's gavel too.
So, it's going to take winning the majority back to Democrats in the House alongside a substantially more difficult task of getting a large enough majority in the Senate to get rid of the filibuster.
It might be hard to do, but it's just what has to done along with protecting Joe and Kamala.

New York is launching a program offering homeowners up to $14,000 in total rebates for energy-efficiency upgrades to their property, and more states are expected to follow suit by summer's end.
The rebate programs are part of the federal Inflation Reduction Act, the largest piece of climate legislation in U.S. history, which President Joe Biden signed in 2022.
Seventeen states had applied for Home Energy Rebates funding as of June 14. New York was the first to roll out funding to consumers.

America officially banned exports in 1975. It came two years after an OPEC oil embargo that banned oil sales to the U.S. had sent gas prices skyrocketing.
That changed after American voters allowed Republicans to retake control of Congress during the Obama administration.
Now look at how much of Texas' fossil fuels are exported versus keeping prices low for American consumers.

House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson told reporters Tuesday that his office notified Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer’s staff the day before that if the Senate leader does not sign the draft invitation for Netanyahu by Tuesday, he will proceed with inviting the Israeli prime minister to address just the House. The Speaker, however, noted that he would invite senators to attend the speech.
Republicans just don't care what damage they cause in their quest for power sadly.

What do these countries have in common?
Myanmar (Burma), Iran, Mali, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, Syria, South Sudan, Yemen, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Haiti, Iraq, Libya, Belarus and Burkina Faso
Those are the top fifteen countries that westerners should not travel to now sadly.

Republicans war against #ClimateAction continues:
Lawmakers will grill President Joe Biden’s Energy Secretary at a newly announced oversight hearing scheduled for Thursday.
“The Department of Energy has implemented radical policies and unchecked regulations in an effort to wage a war against American-made energy production and cement far-left Green New Deal priorities,” U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who chairs the committee holding the hearing, said in a statement.

One of the deplorable Republicans trying out to become Trump's VP pick is joining sides with the campus protesters to denounce Joe Biden in a speech to the Israeli congress.
Our far-left has joined sides with our far-right trying to end democracy in the USA.

Our new breed of Republicans that Trump has unleashed on us makes me wonder if perhaps we should cancel C-Span's exclusive contract and keep all cameras out of our Congress again.

With Maggie Haberman's clear GOP ties coming out this week in Trump's trial it's easy to diss the NYTimes and they deserve it, but they also broke the Alito Stop the Steal story too don't forget.
We need journalism organizations with large staffs. I don't know what the answer is, but driving them out of business could prove to be worse than dealing with the bias that comes from them having Republican owners, idk?

Greece now has so much solar that they're starting to offer cheaper electricity between 11:00 and 16:00
Due to the high efficiency and large number of photovoltaic systems in Greece, it is becoming more and more common for these alternative energy sources to have to be temporarily taken off the network during the day in order to keep the electricity supply stable and to avoid power failures.
Greece has a further 16 gigawatts of renewable capacity currently under construction.

I just put it in the #AltText like an easter egg. It's a flathead catfish. Pythons haven't established a foothold out of the Everglades so far or I've not heard of it.

Hey there everyone that wants to use protesting to force political change.
Look at what the Georgian people are doing to try to kick Putin's goons out of their country!

Enough is the answer since every household is different. Here in the U.S. we use 11k kwhr/year, 900 kwh/month and 29 kwhr/day

Ohio's Republican state legislators have voted to provide Renewable Energy Credits to a coal plant in case you aren't urging your friends to vote for Democrats enough already.
House Bill 264 would allow companies, specifically SunCoke, to claim RECs for finding a use for their waste heat in the plastics production process. The bill is written so narrowly it only applies to SunCoke’s facility.
Ohio's legislators are particularly corrupted by the fossil fuel industry and of course nuclear too.

Too bad these kids seem to have no clue on how to win support from the public.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators massed near the grounds of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp today, rolling out flags and hoisting balloons as groups gathered for the 'March of the Living' in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust.

Democracy will work better when more people vote.

There are a lot of really important stories that are being ignored by everyone focusing so much attention on the student protesters, #JustSayin

You can either support Joe Biden or you're supporting Christofascism
That's the simple choice we have. So why are so many Americans trying to make it seem complicated?

The law may certainly well be on Kristi's side and there's no law against publishing politically damaging stories in your memoir either, but it sure doesn't show good judgment, #JustSayin

What a great investment!
Lots of decoys for cheap to help protect Ukraine's working aircraft.

Putin may be gaining popularity with Republicans, but I don't think that Russians are going to put up with him for much longer.

This thread by Hank Green on how self-described progressives suck at actually helping us make progress because they'd rather take digs than to dig into the complicated facts on an issue.
This one is on our climate crisis and how much progress Joe Biden has made without a whit of support from the so-called leftists. It tells the tale of how they jumped on Hilary Clinton's Earth Day tweet imploring people to help keep the GOP from retaking control. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1784287477651718168.html

So, do you know who Gavin McInnes is?
He helped found the Proud Boys with the help of Roger Stone, the Stand Back, Stand By crew that breeched our Capitol for that orange turd Biden kicked out of office.
Well, Gavin McInnes is at Colombia wearing a keffiyeh in case you don't believe me that this a political technology operation intended to hurt Joe Biden and help the far-right. You could argue that he's there just to be with fellow antisemites, but that would be a terrible argument.

If I were a journalist in Russia from the USA or Britain, I'd get the hell out of there before becoming a hostage.
