Just a reminder for those who like to jump all over #EV battery recalls and fires to argue that EVs are either unsafe or not ready for deployment:
Recalls of gasoline-powered vehicles - including those for fire issues - happen regularly as well. They usually just don't get as much press.

Undocumented #immigrants in the state can own and register their vehicles, but they aren’t allowed to drive them, forcing many #farm workers to risk fines and #arrest.

@AlliFlowers There's a blue and an orange selection with different channels. Or subscribe to both depending on what you watch. Practically the only thing we watch on Sling is MSNBC. 🤔
@Sevachina @LaNaehForaday Link shows as not available. :(
Headline “Trump Supporters Stick By Their Incompetent Criminal”. But their actions make him competent enough to threatened the Nation with anarchy and dumb shit regional warlords like DeSatan.. If you found yourself in the wilderness with a group of 30 people and 10 were selfish idiots, and scammers, what chance would the group have of surviving? The USA needs to be firing on all cylinders to face challenges and that ain’t happening, 😬
But don’t tell Tommy Tuberville. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/07/27/va-expands-breast-cancer-screenings-mammograms-veterans-who-served-overseas.html

@AlliFlowers I watch MSNBC via Sling a subscription, but much less than cable.

for the sake of nonexistent coalition building and substack subs, Matt LOVES to pretend that the GOP interest in "antitrust reform" and "reining in corporate power" is real, as opposed to a hollow populist performance generally designed to obfuscate the bigotry and fascism
thanks to stoller, the press was FILLED with claims the last 3 years that thanks to big tech, the GOP was "super serious about antitrust reform" now.
but they were just seeking leverage to scare tech giants away from moderating political propaganda and hate speech online.
