In Tucson, where there is a fierce fight for public ownership of the electricity system, the private corporation is promising to make $2 million annual "contributions" contingent on the city dropping any pursuit of Public Power.

i don't think there's a better (or really even comparable) congressional ally to the left than rashida tlaib. she and her office make themselves available to + support activists around metro detroit to an extent that a lot of MI *state* reps wouldn't dream of. michiganadvance.com/2026/01/30/r...

this is demonstrably not true, is the thing

The more money, resources, and power you give to ICE, the more folks they're going to harm and kill. It's as simple as that.

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

one of the best illustrations of the bipartisan imperialist consensus is that whenever trump does something psychotic on foreign policy you immediately get national democrats putting out completely incoherent statements about how the result was awesome but the process was bad.

was really happy to work on this with isaac and am excited that it’s finally out in the world. hopeful that it can be a useful tool for organizers in the public power and utility justice movements

In this new report from me & @rhymeswithocean.bsky.social for @cplusc.bsky.social & @publicgrids.org, we argue the current electricity affordability crisis is caused by the rules of private ownership. To solve the crisis, we recommend banning shutoffs now and using many tools to expand public power!

be so for real guys, ask yourselves if you honestly think that upon regaining legislative majorities, federal democrats will so much as cut ICE’s funding to pre-big beautiful bill levels, let alone shutter ICE entirely

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

"The US official said, referring to the Israelis: 'They may be more comfortable with destroying [Iran] than we are'" But US support still flows + expands despite the seeming disconnect; no sign of forcing restraint. Remarkable how Trump keeps echoing Biden on Gaza. www.axios.com/2025/06/17/i...

The whole internet loves Chicago Pope, a Chicagoan who’s been elected Pope! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the Pope is Catholic

people have been letting whitmer off the hook for far worse than this for years. i think it would be nice if the average democrat reacted the same way to her ignoring the benton harbor water crisis or scuttling every environmental justice bill on the table in 2023 while national media kissed her ass

if you’re going to pull this shit over and over again, then you should go visit Dearbon and yell at Muslim and Arab Americans to their faces. you won’t do that because you’re actually a chickenshit. racists tend to be.
