I've seen a lot of people using the hurricanes to attack EVs by asserting that they wouldn't be able to move because the electricity grids go down.
Well, Gas Buddy is reporting that half of the gas stations in the path of #Milton are out of gas.
We need to change our society such that purveyors of malinformation pay a higher price for the damage they cause.

Yes, our situation is not at all optimal, but it's important to remember that we've had worse situations in our government in our long history that we've surmounted.

Menendez appears to have received bars of gold as repayment for his efforts to obfuscate Egypt's role in helping BoneSaw to kill U.S. citizen and journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.
He's got to go and the sooner the better!
Cars and trucks are among the largest sources of climate-warming pollution in the U.S., accounting for around 23% of national emissions in 2021.
But do EVs really lower carbon emissions, even when the electricity feeding the car comes from heavily polluting sources? The answer – thankfully – is a resounding yes. Compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, electric cars emit substantially less carbon dioxide pollution, no matter which form of energy is used to recharge them. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2023/09/electric-vehicles-reduce-carbon-pollution-in-all-u-s-states/

At the beginning of this evening's All Things Considered, the female co-host spoke about the impending Republican government shutdown (she didn't use that correct description though of course) in an upbeat tone like it's a new season of the Kardashians starting or something.
Not enough Americans voted sadly so Biden had to compromise with #FossilFools like Manchin and Sinema.
Biden administration officials signaled Thursday they’re going to offer fossil fuel companies new leases for offshore oil and gas drilling — in the Gulf of Mexico and potentially off the Alaska coast — because of new congressional requirements that tie the fate of offshore wind development to new oil leases.
Initiating a U.S. offshore wind industry is worth it!

No big deal and my reply wasn't very clear about my intention.
I guess, I'd just like to have people tagged when their articles and such are shared on here when possible so that they can get a feel for how much this platform may provide a venue for them.

I think that twitter is a foul social media platform especially after MBS and ELoon bought it.
I just tagged Marcy in order to let you know that she's posting on here as well on that foul site since I noticed you hadn't tagged her.
Oh, I saw a clip from Trump's interview by Megyn Kelly and thought that was an older one.
He's looking really, really bad these days yet all our media seems to be willing to talk about is Biden's age, #ButHerEmails

So disappointed that #MeetThePress decided to puncture our balloon of happiness that Chuck Todd would finally be gone by giving that orange clown a platform to gaslight and garner yet more attention.

Anyways the media, especially the Voice of America should, imo, point out that this same Burisma operation is what got Trump impeached and the entire #HunterBiden "scandal" was most likely manufactured kompromat in order to put and keep the GOP in power.
I rarely hear U.S. pundits point out that Russian State Media (read as Putin) agrees with the MAGA Republicans' policies which really seems unpatriotic. https://youtu.be/jTTo6WWyOdQ?si=Z-RR2XOhCmjLSW6J
U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has cancelled oil and gas leases in an Alaskan wildlife refuge.
The interior department said revoking the drilling leases granted under ex-President Donald Trump would preserve 13 million acres of wilderness. #ThanxBiden https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66736453

"But he's so old" is the new "but her emails".
American journalists feel that they have to cover negative things about both parties, so when the Republicans are producing nothing but negative news they hammer down on anything they can spin as negative about Democrats.
