The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people.
I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.

old twitter was like a place in interwar berlin, paris, or shanghai people have romantic memories about in spite of witnessing knife fights between prostitutes daily and heroin junkies overdosing
My pleases-nobody sense of Return To Twitter Discourse is that the place can never return to what it was, and can never return to the idealized past version we imagine either, nor can that idealized past version be constructed anywhere else because it was always romantic self-regarding bullshit

One of the things that I think is really undervalued but extremely important is that undermining civil rights translates to economic insecurity. The ICE raids and people feeling economically woeful are not separable. /2

I know it's hard for a lot of Labour supporters to accept but it's true: silence and equivocation in the face of racism, failure to employ all legal means to defeat it, is de facto collusion. It just is. And it has to be condemned, not denied or excused.
Harry Cole hasn't changed. He's always been what he is now. But he's never felt able to platform racists before. That is the government's fault. They have sat by and allowed racism to become normalised. So very obviously apologists for racism will take advantage.

Batteries now cheap enough to make dispatchable solar economically feasible
Energy think tank Ember says utility-scale battery costs have fallen to $65/MWh outside China and the United States, enabling solar power to be delivered when needed.

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

Economic rights are just secondary to political rights, so the whole thing is backwards from the start. You can't give people equal economic rights if they have unequal political rights, the political rights will eventually assert themselves. You can't make contracts equitable to nonequitable people

Renewables have hit the tipping point where they will just become increasingly and increasingly affordable and efficient, and will continue to displace fossil fuels out of sheer economics.
This is why a national clean energy grid for Canada will be a game changer.
