Just Mine Now

Well deserved IMO. Why did this take so long? -  US targets Russia with hundreds of sanctions over Ukraine war, Navalny death The costs of the war in Ukraine besides people's lives. Don't miss the video included, the destruction of a church and another of a burial ground. Difficult to watch, so issuing a warning here about that. Fvck Putin and all who support him! That means the House GOP, too. This is on them too! May karma visit them all soon.  -  The Russia-Ukraine War has staggering amount of cultural destruction -- both seen and unseen " Optical images, the equivalent of photographs taken from space, help governments, researchers and journalists monitor troop movements on the front and the destruction of equipment and facilities."  Aye the destruction caused by that power hungry war criminal in Russia. -  War in Ukraine at 2 years: Destruction seen from space - via radar  Now this is something u've never seen before. IMO she's now selling out her ...

Seems like a plan yet I'm still a bit unsettled by using PCE as an example year besides Sunrun, the obstacles that are ahead, but I suppose this is a beginning to CA not having issues with the grid during the summer months that are getting hotter and hotter. - California's patchwork push to scale up virtual power plants  Yesterday two segments on The View with Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries where he says, "This is an existential contest that's playing out all across the world between Democracy and Autocracy, between Freedom and Tyranny, between Truth and Propaganda, and the United States of America should always stand on the side of Democracy, Freedom, and Truth."  -  Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries talks Navalny and Aid to Ukraine | The View This other segment on The View with our Democratic Leader is also an important one IMO , so if you missed it, please watch . We've been hearing about this since October. What can happen as a result is frightening because...

We're told it's needed for dealing with the oil and gas industry. Seems obvious to me. There's no one size fits all here. Thoughts? -   Environmentalism Needs New Playbook Well written opinion letter re: the Pinyon Plains mine near the Grand Canyon. The counterargument is well done. - Letter to the Editor: A reminder of uranium mining's safety track record I'm down to my last gifts but the month is about half over, so I have to make choices what to share. I decided this was important to share with things said that will piss off Putin. The more this is shared, the better. Let's piss him off so much that he'll never forget that Navalny has always been the better man, still is, than him. - Opinion | Goodbye to my fearless friend, Alexei Navalny My last gift for the month it seems, but this is worth sharing as well. Detailed, evidenced-laden piece by Jennifer Rubin with clear explanations. Judge Merchan clearly explains the reasoning as well as precedent for ele...

I’m not a hawk but didn’t we take out Bin Ladin for much less? Putin’s freaking dangerous. Past time to turn the tables on him. -   Navalny dies i prison - but his blueprint for anti-Putin activism will live on. What a turn of events. Nancy Pelosi never had the problem Mike a Johnson is having with the GOP. Just saying. - Weekly Recap 2/17: The GOP's Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Week This stands out as the guy facing 91 felony counts continues in his attempt to defraud the US: “When the rules of evidence and procedure apply to legal contests, Trump loses.” - Trump's civil fraud case defeat is a predictor of criminal trials Good news for AZ tribes. Brief article. This is the Democrats working  for the people. -  Arizona tribes to benefit from Interior funding to upgrade BIA-owned power utilities Something that has been known for many, many years  but those who have been under said surveillance. More than likely I'd speculate that this goes back 50-60 ye...

I stand with Biden. -  Inside the White House's fight to defend Biden's fitness Interesting read. Good links to follow up some of the news from this past week. - Winning NY-3, Do More/Worry Less, Republicans Are Having A Truly Awful 2024 Quite a read. This may give others, especially those who have been protesting so hard against Israel's right to exist, as well as Jews having that same rights. This is a gift read should you be brave enough to read it. This last part of the previous sentence is meant for those who continue to make false claims about Israel and Israelis. Think about this: "A major reason is that the people who are most affected by statelessness also have the most to lose by speaking out about it."  - A Holocaust survivor in Maryland is stateless. He is one of many.  This title makes me laugh as well as thankful. Quite a story! Let's see Death Santis try to stop this.  There is a way around his nonsense, and it is mentioned in different parts of...

What has been learned about this LNG pause. Personally I'm like to see this become permanent, not just a pause. - What we've learned about Biden's LNG pause in week two Those of you living Mid-Atlantic and Midwest should be interested in this, something you can apply for to help fight climate change, for your children to have a decent future. Links are included within this article. -   Exclusive: Big federal purchase of carbon-free electricity Really this needs to be nationwide. It's not the first time I've said something similar. - Safe gun storage laws are garnering support. The Michigan school shooting verdict underscores why. Key re: the 4 x indicted orange guy: " Trump cannot grasp the meaning of his oath or any other constraint," and that's only 1 thing mentioned. This is a gift read. - Opinion | Trump's biggest   disqualified: He can't put America first Just shut down Line 3. It's been a problem for a very long time. Enbridge shouldn...

The GOP must love all this losing especially in the House. - House GOP had lowest win rate on 'party unity' votes since 1982 But the Dems, well, here's a look at what they're up to now with the GOP in chaos as usual. - House Democrats huddle amid House GOP chaos We have seen the effects in So. Cal. Has enough rain water been saved?

A win for us that has been needed for a very long time, especially for those of us with lung issues. Strong opening sentence. Another reason to support the Biden/Harris 2024 ticket. - EPA cracks down on soot emissions Not sure if y'all have been noticing a rise in electricity rates, but I sure have, even getting gouged by my electric company even though I'm on 100% wind energy. Amazing how being on wind only costs $5, but the bulk of the bill still goes to SCE. SMH Nice to see these options becoming available. - Renters,  you too can get a heat pump -- a micro one, at least I still have some serious issues with Cannon. I doubt I'm alone. She has shown her true colors, one of which relate to the rule of law. I also think she'll play Thomas's game, and won't recuse. Do we have something in place to stop her? - Mar-a-Lago Update Many of us are looking forward to this actually happening. Of course we'd like to see some breathing room. - Trump Might Be Convicted ...

For those who don't know, Nygren is the president of the Navajo Nation. Navajo have opposed uranium mining on their lands for good reason, and have for quite some time. So do the Havasupai. Both have the right to oppose this mining that will negatively affect their people. - Nygren, Fowler oppose new Grand Canyon uranium mining Maybe with enough pressure she will do the right thing?  I have confidence that she will.  Besides the two tribes opposing this uranium mine who face more exposure/problems from this mine, j ust reading the opening sentence shows how many others oppose this uranium mine as well. - Environmental groups lobby Gov. Hobbs to rescind permits for Pinyon Plain uranium mine How many more are there like this? "Faye also relayed to the FBI undercover that he was 'coordinating with militia groups from Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.'”  We need to see more of this. Exclusive: FBI Arrests Would-Be Border Militia Member This is huge for all ...

  Looks like Noem is ticking others off for good reason.  We know who she's appealing to here and more than likely why. What a witch!   -  Ha! Oglala Sioux Bans S. Dakota Governor From Pine Ridge Why am I not surprised? Of course this really isn't new news. Some was pretty obvious back around 10/7, to me anyway. -  Israeli Intelligence Claims UN Workers Aided Hamas For those of you living in So. Cal., the one thing that drew my attention about 3/4s of the way down in this article re: the upcoming storm, when the heavy rains will hit in LA County.

I don't. -  Minnesota aquifer work Still the Republicans are the problem, easy for most of us thinking individuals to see. It appears those news channels that pander to the Republican conservativ...

While usually welcome the rain, this concerns me.  We had flooding nearby with the last storm.  - Atmospheric river threatens "extreme" rainfall for Southern California Red Sea attacks increase shipping times and freight rates Do I really need to say anything? "They crossed our red line." - U.S. retaliatory strikes start in Iraq and Syria in first response to Jordan drone attack Interesting how the Supreme Court's hypocritical actions come to light. Why here at a military academy but not other schools? Does this show us how they have issues with their own decision re: affirmative action? Hmmm smells like a lawsuit will be coming. Don't get me wrong. I fully have supported affirmative action, was angered when the SCOTUS ruled against schools using this re: college admissions. Double standard of sorts going on here? - Supreme Court won't block West Point from considering race in admissions Not surprised that something like this has finally shown up. It...

What is it that caused Orban to change his mind? That isn't mentioned here. Did he have delusions of increased power? That appears to be alluded to toward the end of this article.  E.U. throws Ukraine $54 billion lifeline after Hungary drops opposition A lot to take in here, to pay attention to. -  Watch the Earth breathe for one year This is insane. I see the teacher's point of view. What's scary is it appears her students have become their parents. Make sense? Still I never have read the book. With all this hullabaloo regarding banning books, something I'm steadfast against happening, I had to look to see if it was available. It was so I checked it out. I never could have taught in SC. How did I come to that conclusion? SC has this proviso that forbids "teachers from  causing students 'guilt, anguish or … psychological distress' on account of their race." Talk about insanity.  I would have been fired, because I refuse to allow others to make decision...
