My latest for @rollingstone.com digs into Trump's $30 Billion in shutdown cuts targeting Democratic states and cities with painful cuts to public transit, energy, and fundamental civil rights protections.
The pain will reverberate throughout the economy.

I can honestly say that I’ve never seen election signs for the PSC before this year. The two Dem candidates have joint signs that are now popping up more and more places!

And if you want a quick summary of WHY this race (and other public utility commission elections/appointments) is so important, I've got you covered:

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act.

Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

Mira Tanna has served as Orlando’s Grants Manager where she worked to help the city reach its ambitious sustainability goals. She is running to push the city to invest in public transit, continue to transition to clean energy, improve walkability, and invest more in resiliency.

An incumbent councilman, Tom Keen has fought to ensure the city transitions to clean energy. He is also working to protect the city’s natural environment like the Split Oak Forest, and held developers and local authorities accountable to sustainable growth.

Let's elect climate champions in Orlando! 🌴 ☀️ We are excited to endorse Tom Keen and Mira Tanna for City Council!

“We urge every voter: cast your vote for Manning. This is not just about replacing one councilmember with another—it’s about changing how the Council operates, restoring balance, & giving power back to the people. Manning deserves your support. Empower him to carry NOLA forward.”

That $12 surcharge on your gas bill?💡💸 It came from the bad deal @jpmorrell.bsky.social’s council approved — selling Entergy’s gas to Delta.

My promise? I’ll forgive all utility debt, ban power shutoffs, & stop every rate increase & extra fee from Delta.

As Mayor, I’ll make sure to be a partner in the fight for climate change at the state and federal level, and ensure our efforts to build climate resilience prioritize those who’ve been left behind, first.

Only 2 weeks til early voting! Sign up to volunteer with our campaign TODAY! 🙌⏰🗳️ mobilize.us/kelseabond/

The care exists. The solutions exist. The resources exist. What’s missing is a Mayor with the will to use them. Do we want more vetoes and broken promises? Or do we want change? Make sure to rank the slate for change: me, @dewayneforminneapolis.com, and @jazzformayor.bsky.social. Vote by Nov 4!
