We’re not saying to dress up in inflatable costumes this Saturday in 90 degree weather… but if you do, take breaks, drink water, and ice packs are your friend. 2 PM Houston City Hall 901 Bagby Street #BeSomeone #50501Houston #CommunitiesAtWork

Data shows Administration's claims on renewables are wrong, states with higher shares of renewables typically have lower electricity costs. Markets are choosing renewables based on price.

Also, buyers' remorse from the Permian as oil prices plunge. 1/2

Resistance is NOT a one lane highway.
Maybe your lane’s protesting, Maybe your lane’s organizing, Maybe your lane’s art activism, Maybe your lane’s surviving the day. DON’T feel guilty for not occupying every lane. DON’T shame another lane for not occupying yours. We need all of them. #BeSomeone

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

Is this advice on resistance slogans or tyrannical slogans?

“This is no longer a fringe movement. Christian nationalism is here, and it is deeply entrenched in our government in ways that should concern all Americans, regardless of their views on religion.”

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

In my Statement for the Record submitted to the January 6th Committee I explained how Trump has used war rhetoric to attack the United States. They cited it in their final report. He has attacked the nation continuously since 2015. He is still doing so:

Same with customer service.
Giving all customers some form of canned response via AI chatbot doesn’t work for all problems, & likely makes real fix more complicated as now you’ve got to correct new problems created by bad advice, or diplomatically deal with angry customers, Remarket to new ones.
