Sweden's remarkably clean power grid. In November, this was its electricity generation mix:

Hydro 38%
Wind 31%
Nuclear 28%
Bioenergy 4%

Zero coal or gas.

Between MAGA general incompetence, these bat-shit crazy appointments, and the fact that a strong majority of the general public does not support this radically disruptive approach, Iโ€™m feeling optimistic for the first time since the election.

Very disappointing that incoming NC Attorney General (and progressive voice in the NC legislature) criticized Bidenโ€™s pardon of Hunter Biden.

Another pusillanimous report on NPR announcing that Trump chose Florida AG Pam Bondi to be the U.S. AG. Said she had loads of experience but neglected to say that Trump bribed her to get off the hook on fraud at Trump University.

Republican NC lawmakers vote to strip power from newly elected Democrats, including governor Republican state lawmakers want to strip power from Gov.-elect Josh Stein and other newly elected Democratic state officials, including by shifting oversight of elections from the governorโ€™s appointee...

The fact that itโ€™s even legal to combine disaster relief funding w/measures to overhaul the executive branch in a single bill is exactly why people distrust the political process. This is why people disengage from electoral politics. This is why voting feels pointless.

Georgia Rep. Mike Collins recently said, "I will not be voting for Thune or Cornyn for Senate Majority Leader. Do not attempt to change my mind."

And you know what? I won't be either, because neither of us are Senators.
