As far as I can tell, @billmckibben.bsky.social is the only writer with any real reach who is discussing the liberatory potential of distributed solar power. I'd like that subject to get a lot more air time.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Elect 50 Dems to the Senate, abolish the filibuster, & then immediately pass a bill that makes the Senate a purely advisory body. We do the will of the people in the House (which we should dramatically expand). We consult the Senate when we want an opinion from septuagenarian oligarchs.

As someone working in utility solar, this is a spot on criticism of the industry’s assumption that they could win fascists over with economic and environmental wins. Crucially tho it also offers an alternative path forward. Good shit as always @volts.wtf

Nothing could be more naïve than to imagine that Donald Trump's effort to put the military on the streets of US cities has anything to do with "fighting crime." He himself is very clear: this is an act of war against the part of the population that does not support his autocracy.

He interrupted a meeting with world leaders so he could call his Russian handler for forty minutes, but he did it in another room because he didn’t want to disrespect *Putin*
FOX: What was the reaction among European leaders when you decided to call Putin during your meeting?
TRUMP: I didn't do it in front of them. I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

Columbia has experienced the full clown ouroboros - having cracked down on protesters in their own reactionary-centrist, flailing plea to the right, still got the funding rug pulled from them, and now looks even shittier as more schools realize they could just tell the Feds no.
