If we could stop referring to people trying to deliberately cut power to thousands of people in the middle of a nationwide cold snap as "vandals" or "burglars" that'd be great.

They're terrorists. If another country did that, we'd call it an act of war.

@killfile Are you talking about rolling blackouts or something else?

@motherindie anti-government groups carrying out attacks on power transmission infrastructure.

North Carolina and Washington are just the ones that are making national news; there's been a big uptick in these attacks recently.

@killfile @motherindie This is the way they think they can "create chaos/burn the system down." We better get night security on this.
