If Democrats weren’t focused on internal wrangling, they could really start exploiting some of the divisions that are appearing in the MAGA block

Rural Republicans Pushing Back Against School Voucher Expansions — ProPublica https://www.propublica.org/article/rural-republicans-school-vouchers-education-choice

My mother in law who insists that she's objective despite living in Alberta and listening to Alberta news just said that there is so much we don't know about #ClimateBreakdown. There is so much sun activity the sun is just giving us too much heat

I'd like to point out this woman has a PhD in Chemistry.

Just being in Alberta rots the brain.

Don't tell me only China has a propaganda problem. This is state sanctioned bullshit.

Sometimes people ask me (as a historian of the period) about the super rich in Renaissance Florence, whether the art/culture/science boom was an example of trickle-down working. (A) Florence had a wealth tax, (B) its richest man Palla Strozzi had the equivalent of only $250 million. Want more Leonardos? Tax the Rich. 🎨🧑‍🎨🖌🎭🔭🖼📚📐🏛🎻💰
Research suggests people associate minorities with more extreme characteristics. This ‘minority extremity bias’ is stronger for small minorities, ie the smaller the group ⇒ the more extreme the judgment: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejsp.3084

How about we quit spilling ink on dystopian worlds "if Trump wins" and start writing about the good that can happen if #Biden and a big #BlueTrifecta win?

Think of 20-21 (Inflation reduction act, Infrastructure, judges, real House investigations) but even better!

Alito is 74. Thomas is 75. A Trump victory will extend the MAGA hold on both seats by ~30 years.

You’re free to ruminate about what’s happened previously, but there’s a new bad thing that can still be prevented.

India is probably the biggest coal-for-electricity nation, and India Dropped Coal from the newest 5 Year Plan, all the money will be spent on batteries.

India is building renewables, preventing new coal burning, a HUGE STEP for India.

Biden cancelled Coal in the US.

This is Germany, look at the EXPONENTIAL growth of renewables.

Look at the fall of all carbon sources.

WE CAN stop carbon. WE ARE.

We MUST do it FASTER

These are wonderful facts and figures, that prove the _direction is right, _toward solutions.

Biden's economy gives the UAW power to END two tier contracts. Ford new hires, formerly below standard wage, got a raise of 176% and equality.

And fairness WORKS, billionaires taxed, and economy soars, that's the Biden economy: 👉 Fairness WORKS GANGBUSTERS.👈

FDR got elected President four times building an economy like Biden's.

Biden is on a great road to solutions, lets help/

President Joe Biden has taken more effective climate action and done more to protect, restore, and secure our health and environment than any president in U.S. history.

Donald Trump promised Big Oil CEOs that he will gut environmental protections and allow them to pollute at will if they donate $1 billion to his campaign.

Trump is an existential risk to our planet.

How Biden is outflanking Trump on China trade, clean energy and climate change:

How Biden is outflanking Trump on China trade, clean energy and climate change 

And the new tariffs Biden will propose this week will prevent the U.S. auto sector from unfair competition, preventing what amounts to dumping of cheap, subsidies-fuel cars by China.  Whether it’s trade policy, clean energy technology, or cutting U.S. greenhouse gas emissions while forcing other nations to act, Biden now has adopted a far more muscular set of policies that will backfoot Trump in key states that will decide the election. And, as usual, Trump has no serious response.
