Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

I didn’t actually think Trump could successfully steal the next election, and after seeing this response, I am 100% sure he will have no trouble doing so.

"But I was in chess club and have even won som—" greatest in world history

"But if I can convince other people to ALSO play chess against—" he can win unlimited games at the same time, you will lose
I think about strategic nonviolence like this: you are trying to defeat the greatest chess grandmaster in world history. The good news is you get to pick the game.

Don’t pick chess.
what do you make of the theory i’ve seen in various places that nonviolence really only works when it has a violent wing to back it up? “how to blow up a pipeline” argues that many successful nonviolent movements had such an arrangement

Bad Bunny condemns ICE during his Grammys speech for Best Música Urbana Album:

“Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are humans and we are Americans.”

I was at the peaceful Union-led protest earlier today in Portland. ICE shot munitions into an apartment window above our heads and glass rained down all around. They also gassed tons of families protesting with their kids, completely unprovoked and without warning.

Here is Donald Trump on Friday instructing his supporters to vote for Leigh Wambsganss in the Texas State Senate special election in Fort Worth. TX-9 is a ruby red, +17 Trump district. She should've coasted to victory. She lost by 14 points.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed.

ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.

They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.

They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

I hope by now everyone gets that all struggles are intertwined, but if you had any doubt—

this bounty hunter model is based off of Texas’ SB8, which was the death knell for Roe—

& allowed ppl to pull these same vigilante lawsuits against anyone assisting in someone getting abortion care.
Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
