Rule-of-law Democrat

I'm content that I did all I could to support Democrats defeating the GOP in 16, 18, 20, 22, & 24. I hope you'll consider doing the same if we are able to get another chance at the polls.

Started using Mastodon Jan. 7th, 2022.

But, peradventure, it may be sagaciously urged, how is this?

For polluters, the payoff has been extraordinary. Hundreds of millions in campaign spending translated into hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks and secured revenues as Republicans' policies force consumers to purchase more and more fossil fuels. https://www.epw.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/5/9/59c00f03-c375-4266-9bc9-51c1fb1ccc90/BD367324A2B0FF111B29E228E3C339AA1C8E84E703CED38A6644E80E040CB213.polluter-report-final.pdf

China itself has previously banned foreign EVs from military sites and political enclaves, aware of their surveillance potential. This article is worth reading. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09-21/byd-hacked-by-cybersecurity-expert-vehicle-sabotage-surveillance/107139482

We asked a cybersecurity expert to remotely access a BYD. It was too easy

To test the risks of surveillance and sabotage, Four Corners asked a hacker to show what China's top EV brand could see and do remotely.

We have just barely begun the transition off of fossil fuels, but it has begun. Demand for oil, natural gas and coal all grew in 2025, but at a slower rate than in 2024. Demand for electricity grew at well over twice the rate of energy demand. The world has entered the Age of Electricity. https://www.iea.org/reports/global-energy-review-2026/key-findings

In the long-running climate science denialism community, CO2 is plant food has been one of their go-tos. As global temperatures rise, vegetation will heat up faster than the air. This will increase pressure on ecosystems and reduce the ability of plants to absorb carbon dioxide. https://carbonherald.com/rising-temperatures-prevent-plants-from-absorbing-co2-study-finds/

This is interesting. Scientists have found a rocky planet with an atmosphere orbiting in a star’s habitable zone that has conditions similar to those on Earth. The exoplanet, LHS 1140 b, is in orbit around a red dwarf and is only 48 light-years from Earth.

Joe Biden tried to warn the American public about the Republicans' embrace of fascism.

Instead of heeding the advice of one of the most experienced political observers alive, the American public instead chose to ridicule his experience and expertise.

Predictably, our National Public Radio is focused on Trump's call for all Americans to unite behind him and support the Republicans' agenda. They truly seem to still believe that if they kowtow enough, Republicans will resume funding them. And then after glazing for Republicans, as usual NPR does a story on transgenderism in order to obscure all of the Republican propaganda they now push on our airwaves.

Casey A. Williams states that, "It is hard to pinpoint the exact moment climate change ceased to be a salient political issue in the US."

But that is very much not true. In 1999, Bush Jr. talked about addressing our climate crisis, but after 2000, crickets and so much opposition from the Republican Party and the popular media outlets that Democrats couldn't campaign on it.

IMO, NATO is too important to European and world security to allow the USA to be involved in it anymore sadly.
