If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... then we really need to talk to Texas about their commitment to remaining substantially isolated from the rest of the US electric grid. https://www. texastribune.org/2022/11/18/te xas-power-market-overhaul-puc-winter-storm/

@SenWhitehouse and @RepHankJohnson are right. If the Justices are unable to comport themselves in a manner that preserves our trust in the system and their legitimacy then the Legislative branch is going to have to step in. https://www. nytimes.com/2022/11/20/us/supr eme-court-breach-alito.html

People are dead in Colorado today because so many on the political right chose to feed that beast with hatred. Whether they violated the law is immaterial. They have shown us their ethics. They would rather have blind mobs smite their enemies than lead them with love. /fin

Because here's the thing: if you've ever stood on a stage, in front of a crowd at realized that you had the ability to inspire emotion you have tasted that temptation. Do you feed that energy? If so, do you inspire love or hate? It is a choice.

The demagogue knows that they don't have to pull the trigger, or throw the brick, or light the match. They just need to convince some emotionally fragile, economically or culturally frustrated person that is their only path forward. It's a trick as old as it is evil.

To take the first path is an act of love, trust and progress. To take the second path is to commit to demagoguery. Every public figure who was spreading hate towards the LGBT community (or racial minorities or any other group) during the past year was taking that 2nd option.

In every society, there are people who feel hopeless, who feel that the world is changing in ways they no longer understand. We can either help those folks adjust to a new reality or tell them that the cause of their angst is people who don't look like them.

Some may say "the people who spewed hate weren't the shooter" or "we can't prove that causality". This is tantamount to saying that Osama bin Laden isn't a terrorist because he wasn't flying the plane. Words matter. Especially words from people with public platforms.

On election night, I lamented that for much of this cycle I was fighting fires when I wanted to be campaigning. Too many on the political right have mobilized a hateful, fearful base against the LGBT community. They have blood on their hands today. https://www. nytimes.com/live/2022/11/20/us/colorado-springs-shooting#colorado-springs-shooting

This is not surprising, but it is telling. The @GOP is committed to lies. They will deny 2020 election results, the absence of basements in NY pizza parlors, vaccine efficacy and climate change. They should be ashamed of themselves. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-envi ronment/3741733-house-gop-expected-to-eliminate-climate-crisis-committee/

This is so tragic. So many needless lives lost.

Republicans were 2x as likely as Democrats to die from COVID and the gap "only materializes after vaccines became widely available". People with public platforms lied about the science and people died.

Remember that the majority of the House @GOP voted to overturn the 2020 election. None of their returning members voted to improve the Electoral Count Act. The crazy isn't their fringe - it's their majority. And McCarthy's only real talent is as the caucus weathervane.

The last time the @GOP controlled the House they spent 2 years trying to repeal the ACA & transferred nearly $2 trillion from taxpayers to the rich. In 4 years since, their clowns have been promoted to ringmasters. https://www. washingtonpost.com/opinions/20 22/11/18/republican-house-majority-crazy-demands/

taking a deep dive on inter-regional transfer. So often (TX freeze last year, or the northeast blackout nearly 20 years ago, the bottlenecks are between regions, not easily solved with in-region backup.) https://www. ferc.gov/news-events/events/st aff-led-workshop-establishing-interregional-transfer-capability-transmission

Got started on the other site because of #energytwitter. Can we still say that? In any event, it's a great community and let's get it going here at #energymastodon. Just in case.

Constitutional originalism has always been a bucket of "intellectual jiggery-pokery". But this really takes it to new levels. Keep in mind that two-thirds of all mass shooters have a history of domestic violence as you read this.

Came to Congress in 2018 because rich narcissists with no one to check their power are prone to breaking things. Joining Mastodon today for the same reason.
