A MAGA sheriff grabbed 650,000 ballots. Four voters sued him. California’s Supreme Court told him to give them back. That’s the week they hoped you wouldn’t notice.

WOW: Here’s something the mainstream media won’t show you. Multiple unions band together outside City Hall in Portland, Oregon yesterday to rally in support of city workers. Where’s the coverage? Make sure everyone sees this. substack.com/@usdemocrati...

I fucking love solar. bsky.app/profile/rude...
It’s 92 degrees in LA, and my solar panels are running my AC, charging a car, and filling up a home back-up battery—all while kicking energy back to the power company so the grid doesn’t overload. It is so goddamn simple.

Everybody who wants a fairer world is in. Let’s keep it, and the majority of ourselves, together.
People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.
I want to live inside then promise of this man.

🔥OpEd: “In AZ today, two state decisions operating side by side present a stark moral & financial paradox: we have made it effortless for high-income families to access subsidies for private education, while constructing bureaucratic mazes that deprives low-income families of basic food assistance.”

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

This is key. Especially here in Flagstaff (although, to be fair, make it fair everywhere).
📌The NYT Editorial Board is actually out with something I agree with today, and EVERY Democrat should be banging this drum, EVERYWHERE. After 50 years of absurd tax breaks and skyrocketing incomes, it is time the rich starting paying their fair share. PERIOD.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Thank you @pingree.house.gov for sharing details about the senseless ICE killing in Maine this morning.
ICE shot and killed Joan Sebasatian Guerrero at 7:15 AM. His three-year-old daughter will never see her dad again. It took DHS 12 HOURS to release a statement. They claim the officer shot Joan out of fear for "public safety"—NOT his own life. Everything about ICE’s conduct is unconscionable.
