Sweet! "Octopus says that customers will move into homes with guaranteed zero energy bills for five to ten years." Apparently they aim to complete 100,000 ‘Zero Bills’ homes by 2030 and have already rolled out the initiative in Germany & New Zealand.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

A brief word today at the end of the fifth horrific week of Trump 2.0. We are witnessing the transformation of our democracy into a dictatorship (or, as Trump enjoyed promoting this week, a monarchy). https://robertreich.substack.com/p/from-democracy-to-dictatorship

🧵A thread of fundraising accounts for people in Gaza, and anywhere else facing Israel's oppression. These proud people don't want to rely on charity, but until this madness ends, it's all they have, so give kindly, share and add any that aren't on the list. And read their stories! #FreePalestine
