On a #TopSekritDNCCall right now awaiting @harrisonjaime. As always I will live tweet anything interesting. IF my questions get asked, they're all gonna start with WTF.
So far Chair Harrison is touting the Biden record: BIF/ broadband, judges, record job creation #TopSekritDNCCall
We need more Dems in the Senate. 50-50 ain't cuttin' it, says @harrisonjaime. A-friggin-men. And hold the House, and the Secretary of State positions in states, etc. #TopSekritDNCCall
"Yesterday was a gut punch," says @harrisonjaime. Tells story of casting a vote in honor of his grandfather. Reminds us of John Lewis' heroics on the Pettus Bridge. We are not giving up. We will get the votes in the next election cycle. #TopSekritDNCCall
I get a question asked! Biden has approved Line 3. He's leasing more oil than Trump. His enviro record is mixed. What do I say to motivate Dem-leaning climate hawks to show up? #TopSekritDNCCall
And @harrisonjaime responds. Repubs are the party of fear and fascism. And he thanks me for my climate tweets! says he reads them. #swoooon #TopSekritDNCCall
(true confession: I've been a @harrisonjaime fan since his Senate run. Super proud of being an early endorser and fundraiser for him on the IE side in 2020)
smart question from a 26 year old Black DNC member. His generation doesn't want to wait: climate, voting, more.
Harrison responds more politely than I would, but it's the same message: elect more Dems to the Senate, make Manchinema irrelevant.

OMG. I am being mansplained right now on the subject of solar energy.
a couple of retired white haired men are explaining to me that the Cal PUC is not following science, BUT THEIR SCIENTIFIC COMMENTS CAN FIX THE PUC DECISION. #SaveSolar
The white haired men did not submit a brief to the PUC pre-December. They did not make public comments in December. They think they can fix the PUC's clusterf*ck with comments after a proposed decision has been issued. #SaveSolar

hmmm. (short thread)
I've been asking on progressive calls: why not divide #BBB into pieces? Manchin even says he likes the climate piece. Why not pass it? #BuildBackBetter
and I haven't wanted to spill the tea until now, because one answer is simply: progressive solidarity. Climate folk need to stand up for the #BBB child tax credit, and vice versa. #BuildBackBetter

hey folk, I'm going to talk a bit about the BIF that passed last night, White House spin, and whether it's a climate bill or not. And I'm going to tag it #325To1 for reasons that will become obvious.
But if you don't have time to read the whole thread, here's the short version. You can call money for roads "resilience" and sell it as a climate bill, or you can just call it an old fashioned "infrastructure" bill. #325To1
The White House and its friends are touting historical climate investments in the BIF. Fact sheet on reducing GHG emission in public transit, EV chargers, grid, etc. #325To1 bit.ly/3EOU98z

on the #Tesla5000 road trip last week I had plenty of time to think about places where Tesla needs to be. And the rental car market is one of them. Short thread.
Places where Tesla is:
1. Everywhere in California cities.
2. Sheetz, which is a PA-based convenience store chain. (Llike 7-11 or AM/PM)
3. Kum & Go, Midwest-based convenience store chain. Also 7-11/ AM/PM type) No, coastal elites, you don't get to make jokes about its name.
and these are all good things. Tesla chargers are not at EVERY Sheetz or Kum & Go, but enough to provide good, highway-offramp-convenient, charging every 100 miles or so.

I've had a bit of time to process WTF the Cal Dem Party did this weekend. Thread, with a link to my original rough live tweeting
1. What happened: The progressives wanted a simple up-or-down vote on whether the party should continue to take fossil fuel and law enforcement money. We forced a meeting to get that vote. We did not get that vote.
1a. Instead the party chair in a carefully orchestrated power play first had the party vote on a committee to study the matter. The vote was NOT needed at all because the committee, members, and purpose had already been announced and did not need party approval. But...

On a special @CA_Dem executive board meeting to ban fossil fuel and law enforcement money from the party. I haven't said much in public, til now. @NoFossilMoney thread!
@CA_Dem @NoFossilMoney it all began when I served on a committee, henceforth known as committee 1.0, to address party finances. I lobbied hard to keep fossil fuel money out. And I won, and we wrote a report in Feb 2020.
@CA_Dem @NoFossilMoney and that report was adopted by chair @rustyhicks at the March 2020 eboard meeting.

The minutes of that meeting, which iinclude that report, are not on the @CA_Dem website. Coincidence?
