Brey can I just stop and point out how fucking unhinged it is that oil prices are yo-yoing based on the CLEARLY FALSE SHIT Donald Trump is saying? Like how can anyone tell me capitalism makes sense when you can look me dead in the eye and say "oil prices fell yesterday because the president said the war he started, which Iran is only just now prosecuting back, is over even though we all know it's not over - but they rose today because, predictably war did not end."

What? Burn it to the ground.

Federal judge throws out Trump order blocking development of wind energy

A federal judge has struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of wind farms on federal lands and waters was “arbitrary and capricious” and violates U.S. law. Judge Patti Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order. Saris ruled in favor of a coalition of state attorneys general from 17 states and Washington, D.C., led by New York's attorney general, that challenged Trump’s Day One order that paused leasing and permitting for wind energy projects. The White House says offshore wind projects were given unfair, preferential treatment during the Biden administration.

A good while back, when I was in a really dark place, someone on Fedi paid me a nice compliment that made my day. I saved it.

I've been saving them ever since—every time someone's compliment makes my day better.

I have hundreds now.

All these little snapshots of kindness.

I look at them when I'm feeling down and having intrusive thoughts sometimes—they always make me feel better about the world, and about myself.

Judge rules against Trump administration's plan to end DEI efforts

A federal judge has struck down two Trump administration actions aimed at eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the nation’s schools and universities. In her ruling on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher in Maryland stated that the Education Department violated the law when it threatened to cut federal funding from educational institutions that continued with DEI initiatives. The judge’s ruling followed a motion for summary judgment from the American Federation of Teachers and the American Sociological Association, which challenged the government’s actions in a February lawsuit.
