No buts, I also don't eat at Chic fil a, or shop at Hoppy Lobby
Same concept... people need to stop using and get off the platform as it is currently run.
If anything, Musk and the mess he is creating is way worse than even those companies...!
I am already boycotting any threads on DU, or anywhere else, that use Twitter for sourcing.

Shockingly enough Texas energy policy has helped push the industry... i.e. it's a weird conjunction with rural (typically RW Republican) landowners and ranchers and what might seem to be progressive energy policies. Literally, they wanted to expand their income streams.
But frankly, that's also how we will need to move forward on energy policy. We have to make profits and progressive energy policy align.

Standing by my prediction, we maintain Senate control
50/50, or 51/49
And House control is won by less than 5 seats either way (so too close to call).
This also means a PUSH on election night.

3K votes separating the two and both just under 50%. If no one gets 50% there is a runoff in 30 days.
