Practicing Urbanist. I’m on Bluesky to learn things I don’t know and contribute things I do. I’m an old grandma and do not want DMs.

Texas had record heat this summer but the grid held up due to solar and batteries: www.houstonchronicle.com/business/art... So Texas didn’t have rolling blackouts or extra charges to keep the power on.

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

If it’s just license plate data used to send a speeding ticket, fine. Flock was tracking the car across all cameras, then giving all data without asking for a warrant or other legal reason. People were being stalked by police with no legal cause.

Are you deliberately misreading what Duckworth and others are saying ? Nobody said to ignore anything, just not to waste energy/ time on impeaching Trump. Oppose everything and hold everyone running for office accountable. The fight is on every ballot in November.

She’s saying to not waste time trying to impeach him. Oppse everything and plan for the Day after. Since impeachment isn’t possible in this Congress, work for the change and do whatever you can to block all Trump actions.

I live in a place where ICE has snatched people off the street to meet quotas. ICE has murdered people and suffered no consequences. Do what you can and don’t pretend to know other people’s circumstances.

Neither of which will work on Carney. Carney has developed pacts with many countries since DJT appeared again. Since the USA is no longer any protection against any country that wants to be a bigger dictatorship, existing democracies are creating their own. Carney is the right leader now.

We need a functioning government to do its job and regulate these guys so that any harm from their products is their liability. All this “somebody should do something” crap is just their blame-avoidance: “We TOLD you something bad could happen so it’s your fault, not ours!”

Canada IS standing up to him. Carney knows his job, has been working on deals with lots of other countries, and has strong support from his constituents. Canada will win this one, no question. It will be good for the U.S. as well.

Things to do and tell everyone you know to do: Check your registration. Know your voting place. Volunteer for a candidate or a get-out-the-vote group. Do whatever you can to elect Democrats. Not perfect, but not crazy evil!

Ukraine has the best defense system/equipment/professionals in the world. They offered to share with the U.S. but the current administration turned them down. U.S. has Hegseth on a mission to mess up everything while imposing idiotic ideology on all of DoD. Chaotic evil results.

Start with your local candidates, maybe be an election observer, if you see/hear anything newsworthy, tip off a local news source adding that you want to be anonymous. Tell everyone to Check their registration and make a plan to vote, in person if possible. I’m sure there’s more, this is just here.

JFK would have gotten us out of Vietnam. He had sent trusted advisors to give him their take on the situation. He’d seen enough war to be cautious. He got us through the Cuban missile crisis when a lot of people around the table were pushing to attack Cuba.

Down ballot races in TX are really important this year. Talarico has a strong campaign as it is. There’s no noticeable friction there. I like both of them and I wish people who don’t live in Texas would just butt out off this.

Hey, America, this is another big red warning sign on the road to full blown fascism. Might wanna take note. You either missed or ignored all the other ones that led you here. For an idea of where you're headed, may I suggest the following: 1984 Brave New World Fahrenheit 451 World History 1930s

Yeah, call everyone who might vote for a Democrat because in their district DSA isn’t big enough to win a fascist. When the stakes are this high, I welcome everyone who is willing to vote against Republicans.

Yes they did. Some apparently thought he would be the adult in the room. They were wrong. But he’s not really in charge of anything. If we flip Congress, we can deal with the whole cesspool. If we don’t because we won’t vote for an imperfect Democrat, then things will not get better.

Purists never win; ageism is ugly. I vote for the best candidate. Given my age, that’s generally someone younger than me. I’m a volunteer for Talarico. I oppose Paxton because he’s awful. I’m for Dem leadership change but not because of age.
