- Reposted by Cathy Cowan BeckerYou're paying for this. Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs. Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

- Reposted by Cathy Cowan BeckerThis thread perfectly explains why AI has little value for qualitative research. Yes, large language models can find patterns in qualitative data. But, they're trained on what we already know. So, they won't find anything surprising. And, surprise is qualitative research's primary value-add.

- This is so sad and so unnecessary. They were trying to plug an orphan well. There are somewhere between 20,000 and 60,000 orphan wells in Ohio, a product of the oil and gas industry. Solar panels don't explode.

- Public records over the last 10 years show the oil and gas industry in Ohio has an accident or incident every 1.5 days. Meanwhile, a solar spill is called a nice day.
- BlackRock is losing business because it is backpedaling on its climate commitments. And they should lose business until they start using their financial power to make our world more climate safe.

- Good for LEEDCo. What happened to that project is a travesty that never should have taken place, and only did because of corruption.

- BREAKING: We're proud to join 230+ groups to call on Congress to stop the approval and construction of new data centers. With huge impacts on water, climate, electricity bills and more, it's time to put the brakes on the unregulated data center frenzy: fwwat.ch/44bzr1R

- Thanks to Joe DeMare for covering this ... no other news outlet did. If what AEP is asking for goes through, it will be the end of residential solar in Ohio. We only had two days over a holiday to comment, but got in over 125 letters.

- And here's why people love Costco ... but they should get a better bank to issue their credit card.
- Who should pay for this? The fossil fuel industry that sold a dangerous product while launching a decades-long disinformation campaign about the science that showed their product was dangerous. They knew, but they covered it up for decades.
