Right to Repair -- the campaign to let you fix your stuff -- is off to the races in state capitols once again. Turns out that people do want to fix there stuff, no matter where they live. Here's a quick 🧵 to give you a rundown:

@JohnRumpler hard to find the zen when the bike locks you out of routine maintenance! In fact, it seems to have the opposite effect.

Happy Motorcycle Day to all who celebrate. Also, you deserve the right to fix your bike.

@LeeHepner well, the FTC will be monitoring them for 10 years, and if they do something really goofy with that, we can fight it (Unlike the class action where there is a total ban on future complaints).

@nProctor How is the exemption for Future Repair Resources at under 50% of deal distribution not a clear invitation to circumvent the spirit of the order? All Deere needs to do is issue three updates to Repair Resources, make sure none of them reach the 50% threshold, and poof.

Nothing is taken for granted. We've been down this road enough times to realize that it will take watchdogging to ensure farmers get what they need. But we have new tools to make sure that happens.

You may find Right to Repair support divided if you're pushing the NDAA while leaving the House version's Sections 224 and 219 unchanged. Those provisions risk keeping contractor restrictions on technical data largely intact, which could undermine the stronger organic repair access many services (including the Marines) are asking for.

Today, Connecticut's Right to Repair law comes into force. It's a near clone of the California law and covers most personal electronics and appliances. Time to get fixing!

In our organizing work, this comes up ALL the time. When we canvass around right to repair, it's one of the most common reactions at the door.

@CHold @MikeIsaac LG and Samsung use the same compressors, at least according to the service technicians I know.

LG is terrible. I had one of their refrigerators, the board went out after six months, which was fixed either by buying a new board that costs basically the same amount of the refrigerator or... using an bent paperclip to jump over the bad circuit. Washing machines are basically spaceships at this point but dryers don't seem nearly as futuristic, you should be good to get a replacement.

i own a 40 year old computer-less clothes dryer that breaks in the same way annually and costs abt 150 bucks to fix but i am hesitant to replace it with a modern dryer for the same reason i hate that i bought a smart TV i'm doing the math on how long i should keep this up

@Timmyjaysee123 I haven't read the EO, but the problem isn't that your local mechanics are getting rounded up and put in prisons, its that the manufacturers lock them out or make them pay outrageous sums for access to the software they need. I need the details to know more about the parts issue

@nProctor can you explain this? does it do anything? It seems like a win, but that can't be, can it?

Ummm ... while I don't think people should be arrested for fixing their vehicles, that wasn't exactly the issue we were raising ... anyway, good to know he supports the principle, not sure how this helps, though.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump signs an order to STOP people from being arrested or targeted for FIXING THEIR VEHICLE, giving the “right to fix” Common sense! This also breaks up a California-based monopoly on 3rd party car parts certification, per Lee Zeldin 👏🏻 TRUMP: “It came to my attention because I noticed they were arresting people for fixing their car. They were arresting people for fixing it. That's not even believable!”
