I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Build a 100% renewable East-West Electricity Grid. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/gr...
actionnetwork.org
Build a 100% renewable East-West Electricity Grid
A new federal government with big promises for "nation-building" projects has the potential to deliver a climate-safe and affordable future for all of us. If we fight for it. A publicly owned, east-west electricity grid that connects renewable energy projects is the type of ambitious project we need. It would provide affordable, secure and renewable power to people from coast to coast. And is an answer to the climate crisis that also connects our communities, builds up local economies, and creates good jobs. Add your name now and call on the Cabinet to build a 100% renewable East-West energy grid.

youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ Brilliant, funny, true! CDN Cory Doctorow coined ‘enshittification’ to describe how digital platforms create dependency that then takes great effort to get out of, and then profits from making them ‘shitty’ unless you pay more and more. This Norwegian ad puts it in a wrap.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
