NEW w/ @LeadLocally: Portland voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who has a reputation as a climate leader. They also oppose new fossil fuel projects within city limits and an "oil-by-rail" facility to store and transfer crude oil in Portland. dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/10/2…

THIS JUST IN: We partnered with @DataProgress to survey likely Portland (OR) voters ahead of the election. Over TWO THIRDS of Portland voters are *more likely* to vote for a climate leader. AND those voters strongly prefer candidates that support strong climate policy 🧵

@evgonetwork Hello? 3 hrs later and I am still out in the cold and can't disconnect it

@whitjones Hi Whit, we can help troubleshoot for you, can you dm us your EVgo account or contact information? twitter.com/messages/compo…

@evgonetwork your charger won't disconnect from my car, which means I can't go pick up my kid at daycare. This is unacceptable. I called customer service and they had no solution. What do I do????

In October, I drove to Portland Maine where activists interested in public power from all over met for a 3-day workshop. I wanted to understand why so many in the climate movement were turning to this idea, and why now. Here’s what I learned. heatmap.news/politics/what-…

Candidates can and SHOULD run on cleaning up dirty monopoly utilities!

As I'm reading this article, the cafe I'm in coincidentally started blasting Billy Joel's "Vienna" -- this is definitely a sign, but what does it mean?! nytimes.com/2023/05/23/mag…
