Just Mine Now

F*ck the GOP and DeSantis & his crew. -  Trans people in Florida can no longer update their driver licenses  More articles are being published about this. There is good reason. Standing as an ally to the tribes demanding the closure of Pinyon Plain uranium mine. -  Advocates demand halt to uranium mine near the Grand Canyon Strong byline here that is understandable. What bothers me is the mining for these minerals on sacred indigenous lands. Is it really possible to "reinvent mining for a clean energy economy" without sacrificing these sacred sites?

To be born out of Line 3 protests makes sense. For those who continue to support these damn pipelines, the vehicles described here are all EVs, hence no need for oil. -  Native-led EV launches by distributing millions of dollars worth of vehicles to tribal communities Of course this isn’t surprising at all. The fossil fuel industry has been duping us for years. Seems the uneducated or those who choose to ignore this fact are the ones who are "duped". But look at who they're targeting, millennials and Gen Z. - The propane industry is trying to dupe you This is frightening to me.

Most of us see that but other GOP, who the hell knows, considering... - Liz Cheney: potential Trump running mate Elise Stefanik is a 'total crackpot' Glad this has been paused. Is it only because this is campaign season? Maybe this is related in part to it: "Climate activists have called CP2 a ​' carbon bomb ,' warning that if the buildout of LNG export infrastructure is allowed to continue unchecked, it could quickly push U.S. climate goals out of reach." -  In a win for climate advocates, Biden to pause decision on LNG export...

Not something I am thrilled to see. If you don't know why, have no clue what to tell you. - Doomsday Clock update says humanity is as close as ever to global catastrophe - Newsbreak Good read here.

They were talking with Kamala Harris on The View today about this very topic, a bill to fix our broken immigration system. She iterated that the Biden administration had offered a bill on the day after his inauguration that the Republicans refused to even speak about. The Republicans are the party of chaos. In an election year, they don't want to do anything that will make Biden look good. They claim the only way something can be accomplished with a Republican in the White House. Notice too how the Senate is reacting. It's not the same. I'm so tired of their shenanigans. As for Speaker Johnson, he has no control. He never has.  - Senate Republicans forge ahead on border bill over Speaker Johnson's opposition If you missed The View today with Vice President Kamala Harris, this is the first part of her interview.

55 months is nowhere near long enough for Chrestman’s crimes at the Jan 6th insurrection. He has already shown his allegiance to you know who while in prison. - Proud Boy who wielded axe handle and 'fueled' Jan. 6 riot  sentenced Just started reading the article but I have to wonder what giving Dems a greater voice in the House actually means. How can Democratic input be insured? Of course, people like MTG support Putin, not Ukraine. She's the loser IMO. Seems Johnson thinks he's safe in terms of the GOP's reaction to his stance stopping a government shut down. Still the reality is Johnson needs some Dems to support his position. - Democrats willing to help GOP speaker save job -- for a price He will still help on Biden's reelection campaign. -  John Kerry to step down as Biden climate envoy The GOP are nuts, still playing games.

Updates Middle East: Houthis will continue attacks in retaliation. Notice other updates on this page, including Biden's response. - Houthis vow continued Red Sea attacks after U.S. strikes; Israel speaks at ICJ Update Israel's defense against South Africa's claims of genocide. Attacks on Yemen retaliation on commercial ships in Red Sea. Still have issues with the numbers of dead in Gaza given considering the source, a lying source. This is definitely bothersome: " South Africa does not have to prove Israel has breached the Genocide Convention of 1948 at this stage. It only has to show that this branch of international law is applicable."  Weak South African case.  - What to know as Israel defends itself against genocide accusations at UN's highest court Watch the video.

This has been the talk today. Unfortunately, Weissman says, "There will always be people like Trump in the world." - Trump keeps moving the goalposts on impeachment and immunity Liz Cheney on The View today. She said quite a few things I agree with her like "Everybody has to go vote," and "Republicans can't control the House in 2025." It's a three-parter with ads unfortunately but worth the listen. - Liz Cheney on Why Few Republicans Are Standing Up to Trump That's all Navalny seems to do in this article about his court appearance. I agree with Navalny as I'm sure the free world does as well that his imprisonment is illegal. -  Navalny cracks jokes in first court appearance since transfer to penal colony I have to laugh.

Extremely strong opening sentence. Biden should be strong as he already has been in his rhetoric, in his campaign speeches, in his reaction to any criticism others may have. He knows exactly what he's doing, and it's good for all of us. We're lucky to have him as president. -  Extremely strong opening paragraph here, food for thought. - Opinion | Biden lays out the stakes: It's about democracy Another article has popped up, this time in the NY Times . - Klee Benally, Navajo Activist and Artist, Dies at 48 Key to what's discussed in this article IMO is what is presented between dashes. - Opinion | Protecting Alaska's wilderness -- and our indigenous way of life -- is critical to a green future Do you agree with this assertion presented here that both parties want this wall?
