OR
DHS leadership is malicious
OR
it's criminal
OR
all of the above.

āœ”ļøAll of the above.

Spain hits first weekday of 100% renewable power on national grid

Spain’s grid ran entirely on renewable energy for the first time on April 16, with wind, solar, and hydro meeting all peninsular electricity demand during a weekday. Five days later, solar set a new record, generating 20,120 MW of instantaneous power – covering 78.6% of demand and 61.5% of the grid mix.

Campaigners from #Greenpeace and @GreenpeaceUK lit up London’s Tower Bridge with an anti-billionaire protest, calling for people to ā€œresist Donald Trump and his billionaire bullies."

ā€œDonald Trump and his billionaire bullies are using their wealth to silence dissent, roll back decades of social and environmental progress, and manipulate the game in their favor. Enough is enough. It’s time to fight back. It’s time to resist. The time is now!ā€

Fight the billionaire takeover - Greenpeace International

If you think billionaires should not be deciding our rights and freedoms? Sign now. Using their vast fortunes, they weaken regulations meant to protect people and the planet, fund candidates who serve their interests, and gain control of the media to shape the stories we hear. It’s time to resist!

Don't forget - "...and you give me all your family's jewelry to pay me back for helping you end this."

I’m of the opinion that the most fundamental aspect of ā€˜consciousness’ is a sense of its finiteness. I just don’t believe full consciousness exists without a knowledge of one’s mortality. (Even if we spend most of our time repressing the hell out of it).

Find another word - AI cannot gain consciousness.

Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza.

Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and ethnically cleanse its people.

I just voted with a large majority of the University of Maryland senate to approve a resolution in favor of joining the same mutual defense pact against the Trump administration that Rutgers and seven other Big 10 schools (including Ohio State, about an hour ago) have passed.

Time for all of us to stand together against the fascists.
