Can forgive mistakes but will not spare sinners, says Uddhav (https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/can-forgive-mistakes-but-will-not-spare-sinners-says-uddhav-101692820296116.html). This is exactly what I believe in, mistakes can be forgiven but sinners should be held accountable. Uddhav ji, this is the kind of attitude our nation needs right now! A change in the name won't help the UPA, the agencies will do their job. #Accountability #NationalPolitics #India

One of my senators, #JonOssoff , called me yesterday about my recent Email to him concerning the potential ban of #TikTok. I was driving in my car while running errands, so I basically reiterated the arguments I had made in the Email about working instead on a comprehensive US privacy policy rather than punish TikTok for things US companies could and were already doing.

But I really missed the opportunity to share with him the absolute pleasure I get out of TikTok, the tears I get streaming down my face from laughing so hard, and the admiration of the creative content I come across daily on that platform.

I don't know if Jon Ossoff has any staffer that monitors Mastodon, but if so, I hope I can convey what a pleasure TikTok has been in my world where so many other things are sources of discomfort, disappointment, and division.

Telling #dataviz from @TheGuardian based on my RMI colleague Ashna Aggarwal's work. Despite their members of Congress opposing it, GOP states stand to gain the most federal investment from the 2022 IRA.

I'm hoping that over time and starting behind closed doors, this starts to soften opposition to #CleanEnergy.

Every time I briefly get a glimpse of what is being discussed in national politics and national news I end up finding that I was I am vindicated in my decision to tune it out and focus on my own community and what I can control in my own life. Every. Single. Time.
