The utility industry's business model is one of the key drivers of the electricity affordability crisis underway. A key part of the story flagged here: low-income ratepayers being forced to transfer wealth to high-income utility investors.

Ezra Klein Is Practicing Politics The Right Way

the biggest value to me of these interviews is not exposing the hypocrisy, but exposing how all these guys are huge fucking idiots who have barely thought through anything and crumble when asked basic questions about it

Today is publication day! EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism is officially out with @wwnorton.com - find it at a bookstore near you or order online💚📚 wwnorton.com/books/978132...

I genuinely don't know how to deal with how quickly the whole elite class has agreed on this revisionist history of things I can clearly remember from just a few years ago. we were all there! it was extremely memorable!

ok I take it back, this is pretty interesting www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic nomination by promising to tax the rich to fund the services necessary to make New York affordable. The oligarchy is spending millions to try and stop him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I think this comparison is largely right. Yes, it’s a replay of McCarthyism’s ugliest aspects but that was fueled by a widespread sense that the country faced dire external dangers while this is about a deeply unpopular president’s grudges.

An idiotic claim like this should make people question everything else Ezra says

He's unpopular and most people haven't yet begun to personally experience the consequences of his policies.

1/ 🚨 Big news! Today we officially launched the Public Renewables Project -- a new climate org calling for publicly financed, publicly developed renewable energy. I’m honored to serve as Executive Director. 🌞⚡️

it's pretty cool that only a few years ago we were like "uhh fuck what do we call the nypa bill when we have to actually introduce it" and now public renewables are going to be a substantial portion of new york state's energy and an increasingly national project!

Cuomo finally found his perfect constituency

at the end of the day, we have an elite class that chants "the left has gone too far, we need to hear more ideas from the right" to themselves like the Dune litany no matter what is happening in reality. it is hard for me to even care why at this point

Not sure "Sex Creeps for Cuomo" has the same ring as Hot Girls for Zohran, but he'll take what he can get these days!

if the left had 1/10th the resources to just start whole institutions as the radical center did we'd all be living in ecosocialist paradise right now

The culprit:

this is one of the biggest deal races in the country, take a look at why!

NEW from @politico.com: @delgadoforny.bsky.social has called on NYPA and @governor.ny.gov to build 15 GW of public renewables by 2030!

meanwhile, what the right is currently doing, creating a database of progressives who committed wrongthink so they can be harassed, is not a "reaction" to cancel culture. it's just what the right does. I was put in one of these databases years ago simply for working at a nonprofit the right disliked

most people fired during that period were let go because of some type of harassment or other misconduct that has been recognized as inappropriate workplace conduct for decades.

another odd piece to all this is that many people are remembering a wave of "cancel culture" firings over insufficient wokeness that never happened.

Folks, we are so close to a very important comment milestone, but they close very soon. If you live in New York State, take 15 seconds to send a comment for 15 GW ASAP! ⚡️ publicpowerny.org/take-action/

You can be a part of the sequel if you send a comment right now! publicpowerny.org/take-action/

🫡 You heard her, get your comment in today before it's too late!

New Yorkers need to leave digital public comments demanding 15 Gigawatts (GW) of public renewables by 2030. It takes 15 seconds to do with this tool: publicpowerny.org/take-action. THE DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 12, ALL COMMENTS NEED TO BE IN BY TODAY!!

This man is going to be our mayor, NYC. Let’s get 15 GW of public renewable power on the grid with him.

Stand up for more renewables in New York State

The Zohran Agenda™: Freeze the rent. Make busses fast and free. Deliver universal childcare. Build Public Power.

In the fight for Public Power, there are few greater champions than Assemblymember @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. First, let him remind you of why New York *will* lead our future. And second... take 30 seconds to do it before tonight! publicpowerny.org/take-action

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power. Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil's Bolsonaro sentenced to more than 27 years in prison after Supreme Court panel convicts him of attempting coup.

when I started doing climate organizing in 2017, the main enemies were: Donald Trump Andrew Cuomo The Williams Pipeline so uh, hell fucking no. please send a comment if your in NY ➡️ publicpowerny.org/take-action

Kathy Hochul is trying to help Donald Trump revive the most hated energy project in New York. Learn just why it's so bad, and then send a comment and publicpowerny.org/take-action to make sure we lead on protecting our climate instead! 🧵

Send a comment to NYPA urging a 15 GW renewable energy build goal before the deadline on Friday (end of day TOMORROW!) publicpowerny.org/take-action/

now why would Ezra Klein say that a pundit backed by billions of dollars of capital to propagandize an ideology specifically designed to direct popular outrage away from capital was “doing politics the right way.” I can’t imagine

There are only TWO DAYS LEFT to make a public comment demanding that New York build 15 GW of public renewables! Do it now: publicpowerny.org/take-action/

Governor Hochul didn't want to hold an in-person hearing on NYPA's renewable energy plan. So we held one ourselves. New Yorkers are speaking loud and clear: We must build public renewables at the speed and scale that the climate crisis requires.

Hey @governor.ny.gov, we fixed your campaign ad for you. Time to fix the state's energy plan and build 15 GW of public renewables!

after everything they’ve done to us they should be thanking god on their knees fasting that the verb in our big catchphrase rn is ‘tax’

Some of New York City's richest landlords are in our billionaire database!

the "tax the billionaires" political refrain is Good Actually in part because it is a call for the people at the top to actually be constrained by rules informed by the public interest, a virtue that fingerwagging correctives about how much revenue such taxes would *really* generate doesn't address

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

If they're too scared to hold in-person hearings, we'll hold one for them. On Tuesday, Sept 9 join us for a People's Hearing For Public Renewables in NYC, with top organizers, elected officials, and labor unions. New York *will* lead our future. 🔜 actionnetwork.org/events/peopl...

it feels like a lot of media is still so unable to understand Trump they've just decided he must have the magical power to make anything popular, despite that not being true

lol. lmao
