Kyle Shideler, the government's "expert" witness in a case against Texas antifascist activists, said he provided language and research to support the indictment. He's a staffer at the deeply Islamophobic Center for Security Policy. theintercept.com/2026/03/09/p...

The rise of grid power electronics with Drew Baglino
The founder of Heron Power makes his pitch for solid state transformers to enhance the grid.
This podcast on solid state transformers has stuck with me. This feels like it could be one of the most transformative pieces of the energy transition. Actual routing control of electricity on the grid would wildly change what was possible.

ICE is all over TN right now, kidnapping people off roads and construction sites. Nashville's seen the most visible pushback from citizens, but it's getting essentially zero media play. Johnson City has seen a surge in the past two weeks. Today it looks like they're pushing in Chatanooga.

"Unlock" here (WaPo's words not Kyle's) is journalistic malpractice of the absolute highest order. There's no existing "presidential power" to "unlock" with respect to elections. They're aiming to throw out the law and replace reality with fantasy.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch
An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?
Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
