    Now more than ever, we need to focus on local and statewide #elections. Controlling local and municipal offices, state legislatures, and state-level elections are the foundations for a strong #democracy and protecting civil rights.

  4. The Smart Home Graveyard 🪦

    Wemo shut down. Nest thermostats bricked. Fire TV Blaster killed.

    The smart home industry has a planned obsolescence problem.

  12. Laura Solorio is among residents featured in #MontereyCountyWeekly July 3 cover story. "She was president of Protect Monterey County, the group that successfully got Measure Z passed in 2016. The countywide ban on fracking and the expansion of the oil and gas industry was largely unraveled in court, but she persisted…[which led to California] "AB 3233. The bill, signed into law in 2024, gives local city and county governments the ability to ban, limit or regulate oil and gas projects.”

  19. March 5 update from District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire.

    “Current monitoring focuses on hydrogen fluoride and particulate matter, but traditional air quality indexes measure ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particle pollution —not heavy metals. However, when batteries burn, it is reasonable to assume that small heavy metal particles are released into the air.”

  20. We encourage a thorough read of newsletter released this eve by District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire. us21.campaign-archive.com/?u=b

    "When I took office two years ago, I accepted several tours of the #Vistra facility, including a tour inside the building that burned. The facility and its safety systems appeared impressive. I was personally given the guarantee that a fire similar to the one that occurred in 2022 at the neighboring PG&E / #Tesla operation could not happen at Vistra. We know that is not true. This disaster is worse.

    "There has been some great #news reporting on this story, but there have also been some errors. There is a great deal of #misinformation being spread. That is because there are a lot of unknowns. I would urge everyone to doublecheck every source."

  21. "In 1939, more than $200 million worth of vegetables were grown in 4.8 million farm home gardens... In 1944, 18.5 million gardeners took part in Victory Gardens, supplying 40% of the nation’s fresh vegetables."
    The American people, through mutual aid and cooperative action, developed a genius plan to not only ensure the supply of resources to the war effort but to enhance the health, well-being, and solidarity of the population.
    Whether we acknowledge it or not, our lives are being invaded and occupied by massive systems that produce our food, destroying our health and the health of the environment. It's war time, but this time, the goal is to claim the resources taken over by the mass, factory agriculture system and bring them back into local control. The Victory Garden revolution is the solution to bring sovereignty back to the people.

  26. #Subsidiarity: Grounding the digital network within local institutions.

    "…scholars @ntnsndr & @amyadele (2022) argue that #Mastodon exemplifies “subsidiarity”: a #governance principle holding that subordinate or #local organizations should make decisions and perform the functions that they can, rather than ceding #localcontrol to a dominant central power, except when necessary."

  27. Home Assistant delivers SO MUCH MORE than Apple Home! It’s not even close.

    You don’t have to be a geek to create a dashboard like mine. Just a little patience and a willingness to learn.

    I have seen some dashboards that make mine look preschool-level. Seriously. Go check out Bubble Cards or Minimalist and get ready to be blown away.

  28. @breadandcircuses The "system change" we need is eventually going to have to come from the local level. Transportation, housing, and land use are all key to decarbonization, and are mostly governed at the nonpartisan local level.

    Try to build a wind farm, a walkable neighborhood, or use some road space for low carbon transport -- local NIMBYs will ensure that nothing gets done.

    Unfortunately, our climate problems go far beyond Micro$oft and Lockheed.

  29. Whenever someone in #waleg mentions local control in the #Homes4WA debate:

    "Local control does not even require overt racial hatred. That is what is so insidious about it. It will automatically perpetuate racial segregation."

    furmancenter.org/research/iri/

    This has been true in Washington for an entire generation. Many Washington legislators came of age in an era of #localcontrol making housing segregation worse

    That will happen when local nonprofit #PineTreePower manages our grid instead of corporations from away.
