hey folk, yest was a slow news day amirite? but at @ClimateHawkVote we endorsed @HillaryScholten in #MI03. Short thread why! but 1st the all important ActBlue link if you already know why bit.ly/3ChNEeN
@ClimateHawkVote @HillaryScholten Things you need to know about Hillary.
1. She votes and she wants women to vote
2. She's had a respectable career at the DOJ and she wants other women to have career choices
3. She's female
4. She's sane
Her new #MI03 opponent... not so much.
Hillary's MAGA opponent, who ousted a moderate-ish GOPer in a primary:
1. Doesn't want women to vote
2. Doesn't want women to work
3. Is male, duh
4. Sanity, nvm.

Remember that guy who @KFILE got the receipts on his "musing" on women working and voting and wrecking America?
Hillary's going to be a solid voice for water -- her district abuts Lake Michigan. #MI03 is a very winnable district. @HillaryScholten came close in 2020 and now she's facing a much weaker opponent. Women vote. And we're p!ssed.

Chip in $3 pls? bit.ly/3ChNEeN

Good morning from Los Angeles-adjacent. For those keeping score on the racist tapes, thread on who's called for resignations and who hasn't.
Has called for resignations: CMs Mike Bonin and Nithya Raman, who are directly affected. Paul Koretz, who's not. (more)
CM-in-waiting Eunisses Hernandez and CM-candidate-likely-winner Hugo Martinez have also called for resignations. Erin Darling, running to replace Bonin, has; his opponent Traci Park has not. (But Traci Park has been endorsed by Nury Martinez, so there's that.)
Marquees Dawson-Harris, Curren Price, and Heather Hutt ( the one who Nury et al wanted) have put out a joint statement that does not include the word "resign."

it';s so cute* when GOP pols tweet that the answer to Cal's flex alert, telling people not to charge their EVs between 4 and 9 PM on super hot days, is "drill baby drill."

And by "cute" I mean "stupid, shortsighted, scary."
Cal is just asking people to charge their cars (and run dishwashers, do laundry, etc) before 4 PM or after 9 PM during the hottest week of this year. That's 35 hours during one week. Do those things in the AM, right after lunch, at night, etc.
And in response @GOPLeader and his minions tweet out asinine demands to "unleash American energy" and drill more. Everywhere. All the time.

hey, y'all listening? I want to talk a bit about Joe Manchin's pipeline bill, aka the #DirtyDeal, and about journalism, and coalition-building, and odds and ends of things.
with apologies to @leahstokes and all the folk following me for Cal stuff, this #DirtyDeal is national. Big time. Serious.
And for anyone who's not yet familiar with Manchin's #DirtyDeal, this is the side deal he made with Dem leadership -- bill to allow a bunch of pipelines and transmission lines. It's not even remotely budget related so it needs a 60+ vote in the Senate, not folded into IRA.

short thread on @zcolman deeply reported piece on Big Greens getting more progressive, because even though it's a great piece he missed a critical angle politi.co/3N92rvE
and 1st, it's a great piece and Zach has spent months on it. (He called me for background, many weeks ago.) Do take some time to settle in and read it. politi.co/3N92rvE
I came into the climate space in 2009, as people were gearing up for the Copenhagen climate conference, debating Waxman-Markey, etc. And it took me approximately 10 nanoseconds to realize that there was one political party sorta aligned with the climate movement. Just one.

Did California learn anything from the last drought? 'Gambling' with water continues. And here's a story of one street in Ventura County. Thread! latimes.com/california/sto…
16 houses. I've lived here a long time. Some original homeowners, lots of turnover. 16 front yards, 16 lawns when I moved in.
Of those 16 homes, 2 have shrunk their lawns -- let's call it lawn liposuction. You put in some stonework, plants in planters, and voila! your lawn is half its size. If they've done this right, the plants receive less water than the lawn.

I will run for President on a single plank: Abolish lame Zoom icebreakers. And I will win with 90 percent of the vote.

Short thread to follow.
and I hope y'all are reading @ryangrim tour de force on dysfunction within the progressive movement.

Me and zoom icebreakers is only a tiny part of that.
I don't mind zoom icebreakers where people are genuinely getting to know each other: 1st 3 to 6 calls in a standing call series.

And I don't mind small icebreaker groups on a big zoom call. We're at 70 people, let's move into 7 groups to chit chat. Later, 10 groups to plan.
