Have you ever wondered how to join or start a union? On Thursday, 10/9, Triad Labor Council President Anthony Groll will be at South Main Book Company to host a free workshop on labor organizing. #downtownsalisbury #indiebookstore #union #labor

“In nearly four decades of reporting and writing, I have never seen commanders so concerned about issues that could tarnish the U.S. military’s independence and standing. They swear an oath to the Constitution, not a president, and they don’t want to break it.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

And this is combined now with the announcement this morning that the EIA is considering no longer producing the monthly solar module import report.

Call me old-fashioned, but I ask you: WHY do we let the tech industry do whatever the fuck it wants? I, for one, don’t WANT the future Silicone Valley is shoving down our throats. NO to strangers being able to dox me as I walk down the street. NO to them being able to do it to my daughters.

SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇

This is one of my fondest parts of town. There's a pretty good sized minority population there, and you know that's why they're there now.

We're at the "hide the artwork and artifacts from the fascist leaders, otherwise they'll never be seen again" stage.

So aside from the fact that this is another obvious attempt at distracting from the Epstein Files, which nuclear idiot proposed this: Oklo, NuScale, or Valar? Because this is not a serious proposal from serious people.

Hello there. After all, they're almost as racist as they are sexist.

So this has me extremely confused, because regardless of the generation resource they're attached to, we need new transmission. So, are transmission lines now "woke"?

As many others have said, what this means is that going forward, economic data will be unreliable. Without reliable data, businesses can’t make decisions or properly plan. Neither can investors. Combine that with ever changing tariffs and it’s an economic disaster.

The answer is uplift the stories being told by those who are being hurt currently and most directly. Make media, people and politicians see the very real impacts these things are having RIGHT NOW to people without their input, without their participation, often without their consent or their votes.

Somebody make this make sense to me. All three are Black, and it's minority members of the state, and especially of their districts, who are going to be hurt first and hardest by SB 266.

A Sky News correspondent on board a Jordanian aid-dropping flight in Gaza reveals that "we were told the Israeli side had warned that any shots of Gaza filmed from the air could result in these aid flights being cancelled." The project is to conceal the genocide. news.sky.com/story/mile-a...

Me, an American watching the Administration's concerted, surgical targeted efforts to kill clean energy innovation and industry here:

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

The Texas flooding is a tragedy. No one “deserves” it; compassion and empathy shouldn’t be political. The job of those in positions of political power should be (1) helping those in need now, and (2) acting in the aftermath to prevent the next one. If they do not, voters must hold them accountable.

This also applies to children adopted out of the foster care system; I know this because that's my children. And they absolutely deserve to receive every bit of care they can, just to even begin to give them a level playing field with kids who have been blessed not to experience the hell mine did.

And now you know why they didn’t want him to come back. Bringing him back allowed him to do this.

Everybody in #energysky and #greensky as we're watching the news:

Me, viewing supply chain and fossil fuel issues through the lens of national security implications:

He’s holding a trans flag, which is also a thing that absolutely fucking terrifies the Dem establishment, which has been tripping over themselves to throw trans folks under the bus.

Huh, things I didn't have on my Bingo card for June. I'll still keep calling him to make sure he does the right thing, especially with the VA. ESPECIALLY after this: www.washingtonpost.com/video/politi...

Why am I enjoying this so much?

Groups and activists have been pushing for this for at least a week -- this was not a given. I hate that we had to fight for it but regardless, this is a WIN and big shout out to everyone who has been calling and pushing and organizing around this

It's nice to know that maybe all those endless calls and emails to Thom Tillis's office may have helped with this. Now to ensure he actually helps protect the #VA. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

And while we're at it, @e2.org's analysis to give me a paper cut and rub lemon juice on it. e2.org/releases/e2-...

Boosting this preliminary analysis that my friends at @evergreenaction.bsky.social have put together around the impacts of the current budget bill as released in the middle of the night. Big takeaway: tax credits are going away and being replaced with NEW taxes. Goodbye American industry.

Trump’s decision to bomb Iran without bringing a plan to Congress and without using all our diplomatic options risks escalation that puts thousands of American troops and families at risk.

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

I’m never going to see precedented times

The Senate's version of Trump's big, ugly bill enacts even stricter Medicaid work requirements. Make no mistake: Medicaid work requirements don't put people to work. They kick people off their health coverage — all to fund tax cuts for the rich. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMq...

Me, watching the Senate version of the Reconciliation bill:

Former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Richard John Dalton says that Iran was not on the brink of getting a nuclear weapon "Iran has not taken a decision to develop nuclear weapons" "We should disbelieve Netanyahu's claims unless there is evidence, and I don't believe that evidence exists:

Before parroting Israel’s talking points on Iran, know this: 🚨 Israel bombed Iran first 🚨 Iran hasn’t invaded another country in over 200 years 🚨 It signed the nuclear deal—Israel opposed it 🚨 U.S./Israel backed Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war 🚨 Israel has nukes, Iran doesn’t

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Maybe he shouldn't have torn up the agreement with Iran, so they could have been monitored, but NO, wise guy had a better plan🤡🤦

Trump dismantled the Iran deal in 2018. Don’t forget it

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Huge turnout at the #NoKings rally in Hattiesburg, Missisisppi today, wrapping up and down both sides of the streets around City Hall. I'd estimate that about 300 people showed up, along with 2 pro-Trump counter-protesters.

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings
