If your rep isn’t progressive on transparency and process, then they’re not that progressive.

The fact that we are about to be hit with a tidal wave of voter suppression legislation by Republican legislatures throughout the country is the most under reported story right now. The media is unequipped to cover this in clear moral terms and instead prefers to both sides it.

My unsolicited environmental recommendation of the day: this episode of "Why Is This Happening?"

The conversation between @drvolts and @chrislhayes is accessible to those who know little about the power system, and it's smart, funny and quite profound. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/powering-the-grid-with-david-roberts/id1382983397?i=1000510291170
