Using Signal groups for activism

Things are heating up. Millions of people are taking to the streets against Trump's rising authoritarianism. Communities around the US are organizing to defend against ICE raids, to protest Israeli genocide, for mutual aid, and for other forms of fighting fascism.

There's been a lot of talk lately about goings-on at Tesla "dealerships" and usually this would be kind of pedantic to point out, but I think it's actually really important right now for everybody to be aware that they don't have independent dealerships like other auto makers, and that every vehicle and fixture on the premises of every Tesla store is the directly owned property of Tesla Inc. #teslatakedown https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_US_dealership_disputes

Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin.

Grid scale sodium ion batteries have arrived!

The first phase of Datang Group’s 100 MW/200 MWh sodium-ion energy storage project in Qianjiang, Hubei Province, was connected to the grid.

The technology has less energy density than lithium ion (which matters little for stationary grid-scale applications) and avoids the use of critical minerals.
