This article overlooks how the grid works, and why electricity prices will keep going up. The grid price is usually set by the last unit called up, and they’re called up by cost. Solar and wind almost never set the grid price because they are low-cost to run.

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is.

They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.

If @govpritzker.illinois.gov & @governor.ca.gov leave the National Gov Association for being silent as the Trump admin unleashes on Chicago, Portland @tinakotek.bsky.social @governorferguson.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov @governor.ny.gov and other Dem gov should also do the same in solidarity.
Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

you live in a place with an ABC network affiliate owed by Nextstar or Sinclair, the Republican megaconglomerates that put the regime up to this decision, watch it for a few hours and write down the advertisers. (In Chicago, that means ABC-7, WGN.) 2/x

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.
