To all of you people out there that have been involved with Trump and similar degenerate oligarchs and have been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements, here's a fact that you may find interesting: non-disclosure agreements become void if they are employed to hide criminal activity.
So speak up!

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?
You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.
So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.
Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.

Great thread. You can't have a high renewables and a high nuclear power system, unless you over-index on storage. You need to scale nuclear to a portion of always-on demand.
France has ended up in a strange position after using some €250bn of tax-payer money to build a fleet of nuclear power stations. Wind and solar power is merrily entering the French power market at prices nuclear production can't match, resulting in huge surpluses of power.
