Another absolutely bonkers day for the power grid in Texas. I really don’t like ERCOT’s visualization of battery charging as it makes it look like wind power dropped off when the batteries started charging—not so! Maintained ~12GW throughout day. Solar is of course the star of the show here

Profiting from war. That's the level we've descended to.

Politicians are OVER valued, WAY over paid for betraying their constituents & hurting Americans

Teachers are HUGELY under valued & WAY under paid, fighting hard, struggling & sacrificing their home lives to buy supplies

Teachers should never have to buy classroom supplies & should be earning 100K+

America, girl — how far you have fallen

Your constitutional rights cannot carry price tags. The SAVE Act attaches price tags anyway. Republicans monetize your participation. This commodification corrupts democracy and violates the constitution. I f enacted this would be the largest poll tax in US history. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

The SAVE Act taxes your vote through hidden costs. This taxation violates constitutional principles. Republicans know this. They proceed regardless. This would be the largest poll tax in American history. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

At the end of the day, Trump doesn't give a shite about the Iranian people. It's all about him and the price if corporate stocks and shares.

Offshore wind backers tap affordability to blunt Trump’s attacks Leaning into concerns about rising energy costs could help pending projects build support after recent court wins, wind supporters say.

Transgender Kansans Sue After Driver’s Licenses Are Abruptly Canceled

“Your current credential will be invalid immediately,” the letter said.... The law also invalidates [previously changed birth certificates], and allows private citizens to seek financial damages from transgender Kansans who use a bathroom that does not match their sex at birth."

What do Utah lawmakers in Congress think about Trump’s calls to eliminate mail-in voting? Trump has called for years to end mail-in voting, but Utah Republicans say it doesn’t require a full elimination in the Beehive State, which has used the system for over a decade.

Most of Utah's Congressional delegation is not on board with Trump's demand to end most voting by mail. “Utah has an exemplary mail-in voting system that undergoes constant revision and auditing,” Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, told the Deseret News, calling it “vital for our rural communities.”

She has been a repository for public fears, anxieties, resentments, & dysfunctions for so long, what she actually did or didn't do in reality long ago ceased mattering.

What if I'd told you in, say, 2010, in the wake of the Iraq War and the subsequent political upheaval: "yeah, not only will we not learn our lesson, not only will none of the people who perpetrated this crime be punished ... we're going to do it all over again! Less than 20 years later!"

Hillary Clinton’s "coal gaffe" is a microcosm of her twisted treatment by the media She navigated a hall of mirrors.

Not to make everything 2016, but @volts.wtf wrote a good essay on how Hillary Clinton got this treatment back in 2016. Even when there was no scandal, you could always turn that into a scandal by arguing that her tone and word choice were the REAL scandal.
