“The truck that was supposed to revolutionize everything is flopping fast”
Let's remember Tesla's first cars. They were awful... as cars. They rode poorly. Their body panels had huge gaps. The omnipresent software was early-Microsoft buggy. BUT!!! They were electric and therefore electrifying. People bought them to be green, to be cool, to be in-the-know... even if...

There’s a Race to Power the Future. China Is Pulling Away.

“Beijing is selling clean energy to the world, Washington is pushing oil and gas. Both are driven by national security.”
Alternative energy - basically anything that isn't based on burning carbon - is the future. Anyone with half a brain cell can understand the huge characters written on the wall. So I guess America's "leaders" do not have half a brain cell... If you want to understand what's happening in the...

“Meanwhile, the fascists send hundreds of billions of dollars to the already-ultra-rich”
For a month or so, I seeded lots of data-filled articles on economics... which almost no one read. So I won't waste that time any more. The end of democracy in America is writ large. So....

“Immigration is a Good ThingImmigration is not an "invasion", nor should it beLatinas for Trump co-founder criticizes president’s immigration...”
Christ was totally woke. His empathy was absolute. He cared for the poor, both literally and figuratively. He preached the risks of wealth, toxic for human goodness. Pentecost is a privileged moment to remember that "love one another" is not an option for anyone who claims to follow Him.

“Deputy marshal ‘fit the general description of a subject being sought’ and was briefly detained, Marshals Service says”
I'll bet the marshal wasn't White. Any takers? (Aside from the Usual Suspects, who are color-blind... .)
Corruption In Plain Sight Is Still Very Much Corruption

“The one neat trick that Trump and his supporters use to get away with institutionalized grift”
The sheer volume of Trump's abuse of his office is mind-numbing... and that's on purpose. He wants his corruption tsunami to overwhelm us, to the point that it seems ordinary.
Trump lights the fuse

“They’ve lost the narrative on the “Big Beautiful Bill,” and this week they went and jumped the shark with the Trump-Musk bromance break-up, so what...”
Make no mistake: this is Trump's declaration of war against his adversaries. He has used government ressources to arrest and imprison them. Now he is showing that he's ready to use government ressources to kill them. Let's recall that Trump pardoned the people who stormed the Capitol,...
Supreme Court Blocks Mexico’s Suit Against U.S. Gun Makers
Via: Bob Nelson • News & Politics • 1 Comments • last year
“The case focused on whether the Mexican government could sue U.S. manufacturers over claims that they shared blame for violence by drug cartels”
If I were President Sheinbaum, I'd call in the US ambassador, and explain to him that Mexico will do as much to stop drugs flowing into the US as the US does to stop guns flowing into Mexico.
