NEW: In a loss for students in North Carolina, a judge declined to open early voting sites on three college campuses in the state, including the nation’s largest HBCU.
While the ruling deals a blow to students’ attempt to restore sites ahead of the state’s upcoming primary, they can appeal.

It’s the weekend everyone, so you know what that means. Time to drink two polar seltzers and do a thread on the power transformer shortage. Without transformers, we don’t get a clean energy transition. And as energysky knows, there’s been a shortage due to covid, supply chain, & labor constraints 🔌🔋

I'm beginning to think that a lot of PoC have a very u lnfounded fear of Black America. The sway we have within the Democratic Party is because we've put in centuries of work in promoting freedom and democracy.
Every right that new immigrants enjoy is because of our blood, sweat, and tears.
