What a day!

[UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105 @umnglu]

As our first day comes to a close, we owe you a bit of an update. In a word: incredible.
In only about 12 hours, more than 1,700 graduate workers signed a union card to affirm our demand for fair working conditions at the University of Minnesota.

The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Graduate workers at the University of Minnesota are signing cards in support of unionizing because we know we are stronger together–and that the U works because WE do! Learn more at https://t.co/96X0sG5aMI

Graduate workers deserve fair pay. We deserve respect as workers who make the University function–as teachers and researchers #GradUnionUMN

It would be impossible to overstate how lawless it would be for a district court judge to ban mifepristone nationwide https://t.co/l1OwKW1wEL

@TKennyFountain Can’t stand the framing here as if it’s a illicit secret and not a fact of life for every discipline

If we get this hydrogen thing right we will solve a huge chunk of power sector decarb. Y'all might not see it, but we have a windfall that could solve a major market issue. I'm gonna walk through why the H2 PTC is hot.

Not even gonna try to be relatable here, wonk level max.

These are solvable problems. The answer is building new places for people to live https://t.co/fq7tJRCTCQ

Always be skeptical when you see stuff like this. It turns out that:

1) all those scary sounding chemicals are not particularly scary
2) wind turbines actually do get recycled and
3) the amount of waste is tiny compared to coal ash and impacts are tiny vs burning fossil fuels

Just from an administration perspective this is a nightmare. And that’s leaving out the fascism!
