The fact is that the most correct observation anyone can make about US politics over the previous decade is that voting for Hillary Clinton would have fixed literally everything you’re currently suffering from, and you only think this isn’t the case because of misogyny

53 years ago this week, 5/17/73, The Watergate Senate Committee held its first public hearing. We had Republicans who were interested in the truth about their leader & his cohorts, many asked difficult questions and did not act like a cult. 5 weeks later John Dean testified and the rest is history.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Selma Rejects Jim Crow 2.0
Half of the population in Dallas County, Alabama, where Selma is located, was African American in 1965.

Saying it louder for those in the back:
"The United States was not founded, in any sense, on Christian principles. It's simply not true."
More people would know this if they were taught history without restrictions.
History doesn’t fit your narrative.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
