Pretty wild to see how the state legislatures have swung right. Puts the red wave of 2010 into new perspective - so many longstanding bluedog states finally snapped into a new alignment. Blue leg until 2010: Alabama, Iowa, Louisiana, N Carolina, Tennessee (ish) ballotpedia.org/State_govern...

A bill is sitting on @GavinNewsom’s desk that would lower Californians’ utility bills – all he has to do is sign it. But rumors are swirling that he plans to do the opposite - a move that could prove disastrous for California and for Newsom. A 🧵:

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside Chicago—
Federal agents have kidnapped hundreds of immigrants in recent weeks.
Outside the ICE processing center here, protesters are gathered for another Friday morning demo. Last week's ended in tear gas and arrests.

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

That’s why I cannot understand oil executives who sacrifice the planet’s health for their short-term profits

Save this number in your phone. If you see an ICE raid:
1. Ask the the person their name
2. Ask who to call to let them know they’ve been taken by ICE
3. Tell them to not say anything
4. Call this number to report the arrest
If possible video it

Missy Stults x @volts.wtf is a great combo.
Today on Volts: last year, the residents of Ann Arbor, MI, voted to create a "sustainable energy utility" that operates alongside the investor-owned utility & supplements it with clean energy. This is, AFAIK, the first arrangement of this kind in the world. I talk with its architect & champion.
Ann Arbor's experiment with a new kind of utility
Missy Stults explains Ann Arbor's novel plan to build a second, clean-energy utility alongside its incumbent.
