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.

Woke up sick about the state, which has so badly mismanaged so much of the COVID-19 response for the entire year, insisting their judgment should be substituted for local districts when they have made it clear they both don’t know and don’t care about local conditions. #MAEdu

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

OPINION: Despite the governor's shortcomings -- most recently, the rollout of the COVID vaccine -- none of the state's Democrats show any interest in challenging him in 2022. https://wbur.fm/3k9W2nf
