As climate change gets worse & sluggish gov't action becomes ever-more morally unforgivable, protest will escalate, & along with it, authoritarian repression of protest. Just something to look forward to. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Unchecked monopolies can use their power to inflate prices, cut pay, and bully small businesses.

Thanks to Robert Costa for spotlighting FTC’s work tackling corporate abuse across markets, from prescription drugs to groceries.

The Interior Department set a goal of 25GW of permitted clean energy on public lands by 2025.
They're at nearly 29GW, a year ahead of schedule, with 32GW more in the pipeline.

Like Tom Malinowski said, the machine exists not to win hard elections but decide who’s allowed to win easy ones, which is downstream from Congress (and other offices) becoming resume lines for a lucrative lobbying or nonprofit exec career, rather than actually doing anything.

This is why RE is going to triumph over time. But this isn't just 'good for greens' or whatever. It's good for humanity! We're climbing off the resource roller coaster & onto the tech escalator! Energy -- the core of human prosperity -- is getting more predictable & cheaper.

Something surprising about code development in the US is how checked out multifamily developers are. They are much less well represented than single-family developers are, and both groups are totally dwarfed by materials manufacturers, firefighters, and above all, code officials

This is a wildly irresponsible statement. It's time to tell the Israeli government they are on their own if they choose to escalate further. The U.S. should not allow a foreign government to dictate when we go to war.

Can’t imagine what would give him that impression

Becoming a lot more pro-EV. Yeah the actual direct emissions reductions might not be as great as often advertised, but we have to get the voter’s ape-brain disconnected from ‘high gas price bad’ ASAP.

My red-hot take is that the United States should not be bullied into a regional or global war because of the reckless actions of its client state.

Good night, and good luck.

Consistent with the point Andrew Hart made on our podcast: elites like that college is expensive and inaccessible, because it's how they reproduce their social status. Hence those most opposed to canceling student debt are the ones who didn't need to take it out.

The reason why the anti- or post-neoliberal right will never actually be effective allies for the left is illustrated in this thread, where OP correctly IDs financialization as the underlying problem but in the next post blames it on women and minorities.

This won’t save NYT editorial leadership from being forever judged for its profound complicity in this genocide.

The Public Service Commission in Wyoming rejected a request by their utility to raise rates by 29%.
Instead, they allowed a hike of only 8%.

Why can't Montana's Public Service Commission do the same? Why are they so beholden to NorthWestern Energy?

Clarity.

He’s right, and the fact that we had Democrats supporting warrantless wiretapping of American citizens is an embarrassment to our party.

Last week, Nancy Pelosi signed on to a letter calling on Biden to halt most weapons sales to Israel.

Since then, she's been whipping votes for a bill that would give Israel $14 billion in weapons, no strings attached.

SCOTUS is still a mess BUT I'll take a win for workers when we get it! The Fed. Arbitration Act exempts transportation workers; SCOTUS ruled that drivers for non-transportation companies (say, bakery delivery drivers) are still exempt & can't be subject to #ForcedArbitration . 1/
