Many of our students were going into non-profit work, a lot of students who want to change the world. So we started building a consentration that intersected religion & the non-profit world.

Renewables cut fuel use & emissions instantly. But without storage, gas still sets the evening marginal price — and the marginal unit sets the price floor.

Solar lowers midday prices. Storage lowers system prices.

#Bettrification flips the regime when batteries replace gas at peak. 🔋⚡

Short-sighted, cowardly, & quite frankly unconscionable behavior from @utaustin.bsky.social here. Flagship public unis should be leading voices for the best of our communities & nation, not pandering to the worst in an utterly fruitless attempt to curry favor with those who'll always despise them.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

The ICE Prisons and Camps Are About To Get A Lot Worse A head-spinning appellate decision just greenlit detentions without end, supercharging an already horrific human rights crisis.

"Advocates have long warned that this creates incentives to transfer detainees into Fifth Circuit states, where bond hearings are now harder to obtain. We are seeing that happen already."

Women:

Remember yourself at 16, 14, 11, 10, and even 9.

Then think about grown men molesting you.

At 10 or so, you’re in the fourth or fifth grade.

When I was in the fourth grade, I was thinking about our school play.

Anna and I share the same publicist 😃 (the author herself) and I know how important but also how tough it is to keep momentum going.

This is such important history, and such an expert author and great writer-- please do keep sharing, and **recommending to your libraries**!

Denmark Vesey (1820s) More, America: Twenty-Five (More) Founders of the United States of America

I wrote about one part of Denmark Vesey’s legacy is the policing of protests.

Then, I saw police arrest protesters at a memorial for Renée Good.

I am truly sad that this More, America project proves relevant each week.

But that is why we study history.
