anyway, bluesky is absolutely not ready and not prepared for the flood of authoritarian-funded trolls that are already beginning to flood it, so, you know, block early, block often.

I mean, Harris probably skips by because she's on the ticket people voted for, and then there's the nominating process which I'm pretty sure is 100% a private organization choosing its nominee, but a brokered convention would be a freaking disaster of lawsuits and pissed voters.

Not that they have merit or will even prevail, but if the problem is getting through the noise, that's going to create a lot of noise.

On Independence Day, note our progress towards energy independence & a sustainable future for generations ahead. Thanks to 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure & 2022 Inflation Reduction laws, U.S. companies are accelerating in grid batteries to make solar+wind scalable. That's not all...

Biden on a customer service call would be amazing. "thank you for calling chase, how can i help you?" *twenty minutes later* "so that's when i said listen jack, in wilmington, we call that straddling the horse" which is, in fact, what they call that in wilmington.

There's a world on the other side of this with a huge, vibrant, unionized and high-paying industrial base remaking the physical world for the post-fossil fuel age. It's already starting and I think even Trump can't *fully* destroy it, but he can slow it down and make us lag wayyy behind.

Bonkers. Still lab scale, but a team has created an anode free, solid state, sodium battery. It's basically just sodium and an aluminum (some powdered) current collector. Huge theoretical potential for abundance, fast charging, high density.

Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

"do you, the american worker, see all these big wins for organized labor? yeah, we're gonna keep doing that." "you notice how some of the worst people on the supreme court ain't spring chickens anymore? guess who's gonna replace them." "we're going to pass a national law protecting abortion."

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

Listen, if the Biden campaign wanted to quell concerns about his age, they would have put him out there, like in the post-debate pressroom, a rally, an event at the Stonewall monument, a national address, a medal of honor ceremony, a meeting with governors, another rally, and televised interview.

I can see merit to the step down for Harris argument, if done right, although I don't buy it. The open convention thing is just completely insane and I'm kinda glad it seems to have settled down a bit on here.

Even after getting crushed in a statewide referendum on the issue, Kansas Republicans have absolutely no fear about defying the people's will and trying to force abortion bans through lawsuits and unconstitutional legislation.

Just going to put this out there: Biden has been the most legislatively effective president since LBJ. The most pro-labor president WW2. He's done more re climate change than any POTUS. He's built an international coalition for Ukraine despite Russia-fueld GOP opposition. And yeah: he's hella old.

If 'party insiders' spent more time taking to voters about Trump's comments on "after" "birth" abortions and "black jobs"; and less time texting columnists about their hurt feelings, we might be able to keep a functioning democracy this fall.

Trump's supporters pre-Jan 6 spent months sharing blueprints for guillotines and gallows, planning chemical weapons attacks on the tunnels beneath the white house, and discussing the most painful ways to kill Pence, Pelosi, and Schiff. Trump egged them on. I personally don't want round 2.

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.
