Trump supporters believe they “don’t have the vibrational frequency” to get COVID

What would make you feel safer right now: more aircraft carriers or $2000/month in your pocket?

Raise your hand if you believe every member of Congress who stoked the fire of sedition must be removed from Congress. 🖐️

Twitter after banning Trump 1,449 days into his presidency

This country was founded on the exploitation and extermination of non-white people who lived together with Nature, not in opposition to it. Over the past five hundred years, that racist underpinning has continued to escalate the climate emergency. thephoenix.substack.com/p/white-nation…

Main story continues to be the failure of thermal power plants -- natural gas, coal, and nuclear plants -- which ERCOT counts on to be there when needed. They've failed. Of about 70,000 MW of thermal plants in ERCOT, ~25-30,000 MW have been out since Sunday night. Huge problem.

ERCOT started directing electric utilities (like Oncor or Austin Electic) to start rolling blackouts or involuntary emergency load shedding at 1:25am on Monday morning, with 10,500 MW shed during that late morning. That's ~2 million homes worth of load ercot.com/news/releases/…

Throughout Monday, many thermal power plants remained offline, as freeze-offs + fuel shortages in gas pipelines forced large numbers of natural gas plants offline. Many coal plants likely struggled as well w/frozen coal piles, but breakdown of thermal outages by fuel type unclear

1. Millions of Americans aren't saying this 2. It isn't true 3. This show fucking sucks "Millions of Americans in the cold and dark say the lack of power is because of green energy policies and the vilification of oil, gas, and coal -- the stuff that ~really~ keeps you warm"

Fualkner is having another segment about Texas' made-up 'green energy crisis' which I'm not posting because it's all bullshit It conveniently neglects to mention that wind power is generating ~more~ than forecast, and that gas and coal plants are down and pipelines are frozen

Anyways, here's what the people in charge of Texas' power grid are ~actually~ saying Surprise, it's the opposite of what Faulkner said! x.com/ctraywick/stat…

I go offline a few days and return to a GOP Gov blaming policies he hasn’t even implemented for his own failures. Gov. Abbott doesn’t seem to have a grasp on his state, so here’s a reminder: Texas runs 80-90% on fossil fuels. The real “deadly deal” is his failed leadership.

This aged well
