The most important climate fight in the country right now is in Connecticut.

If the investor-owned utilities there succeed in their naked attempt to knock off their top regulator, the chilling effect on other PUC commissioners' willing to challenge utility capture nationally could be devastating.

3 things I did this morning to try and help, in case they inspire you to do similar things in your area:

1. Set up a small monthly donation to Wikipedia and Internet Archive. As websites get doctored or scrubbed, keeping records becomes even more important. These are 2 places trying to do that.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..."

I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is:

"no one's calling my office"

We bombard our electeds offices with calls. They need to hear from us, and the phones cannot stop ringing. Email if you can't call. Write letters if you can't email.

Request district office meetings. Our electeds CANNOT rest.
How do we fix this???
Pay. Attention. To. This AND CALL YOUR REPS.

🎉Another big milestone! We've passed $75K! 🎉

These donations are going to make such a big difference for people whose lives have been devastated by the fires. Thank you!

But we know we can raise even more to help the wildfire victims. Let's keep pushing toward our goal of $120,000! #kidlit

People still care. People still try to help. Help where you can.
Just been in awe of the work the team at Octavia's Bookshelf has been doing in response to the fires. It's a powerful reminder of both the existing power of local third spaces AND the potential for a better world if our economy centered such places. Read about their work here...1/2
