- Australians will be getting 3 hours of free electricity a day because of how many people have installed solar - this is seriously huge considering the massive solar uptake in Australia happened while the federal government delayed action on climate www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

- Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens. As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country. GIFT LINK www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...
- Reposted by Rohan GreyThere is no mistaking where Oregonians stand: we do not want federal troops on our streets. Oregon is our home, not a war zone or a military target, and our communities remain vibrant and secure.
- Has anyone connected recent debates over business entity anonymity/privacy of beneficiary owner debates with proposals for limited liability sole proprietorship entity statutory reform? Not my area but curious. @annmlipton.bsky.social ?
- **loudly on cell phone at coffee shop** Ohhh, rap**tured**. No no it's fine we can make some last minute edits to the script, It'll still work
- If I were this generation's most widely legal scholar I simply would not do public interviews where I reveal just how dumb my thinking is about really basic fundamental things
- "But you could have an opinion on it. You have an opinion on all kinds of things, right?" I meant things like Star Wars! Not like, you know, the war crimes committed by my good family friend. Who has time for that!? Jesus this interview is such an amazing train wreck.
- In light of the Court's decision to allow Slaughter's firing to stand pending review of Humphrey's, does anyone still think that the Fed would have been able to refuse to accept the trillion dollar coin if the President had deemed it necessary to prevent a constitutional crisis?
- Can't think of a better example of actual "cause" than "the Fed is trying to force the executive branch to ignore Congress's spending directives by refusing to allow it to exercise coinage powers under a plain meaning reading of the statute". "Least unconditional option" indeed
- Executor? Humphrey, I've never even met her!

- The law, in its majestic equality, permits rich and poor alike to build institutions, fund professional networks, and promote the free exchange of ideas

- Reposted by Rohan GreyThe irony: as @rohangrey.bsky.social's trillema points out, stablecoins need the public monetary system they're trying to enclose. They can't be stable, denominated in a public unit of account AND free from public collateral. Pick two.
- Reposted by Rohan GreyThe July 2025 episode of Economics for the People was devoted to cryptocurrency. Rohan Grey @rohangrey.bsky.social discusses how crypto and the recent legislations in the US Congress will affect working people & Jerry Epstein talks about the risks of crypto to the financial system.
- Reposted by Rohan GreyNiche post, while reading ICJ oral submissions: no one, not even the US counsel, seems to mention the 'rules based international order' before the ICJ. It's 'international law' all down the line. Make of *that* what you will.
- Reposted by Rohan Greythis morning I have been thinking about Orlando Letelier, the Chiliean economist assassinated by Pinochet's junta a month after he wrote the famous The Nation critique of the Chicago boys funding by the CIA, and Milton Friedman's overt support for their shock therapy.
- Gotta say it's genuinely hilarious and poetic that the thing trumpland has seized in to attack fed independence is it's ability to fund its operating expenses with ex nihilo fiat mechanism as it's policy toolkit. Live by the black box infinity sign budget capacity, die by it.
- Also for the record if it can pay $5bn for a renovation it can fund a fucking trial job guarantee program

- Reposted by Rohan GreyThis--that Signal would rather exit a market than undermine the core security and privacy technology that protects the people who use Signal--always still holds. We don't change our principles based on jurisdiction, legislative attack, or time of day...
- Reposted by Rohan GreyI think Jackson understands her audience, and is writing to assure normal people that, no, you do not have to take a GOP-controlled Court protecting a GOP president seriously. This is grim, thankless work, but it's also the most important part of her job right now ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/ketan...
- Reposted by Rohan GreyThough honestly I wonder if this is going to become a thing - if you rep a seller and succeed in forcing a buyer to complete an acquisition, you'll have to fight for your fee? Institutionally, it doesn't seem to create great incentives for the corporate bar.
- Reposted by Rohan Greythe core idea that can radicalize people is so simple: there is enough. there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe. once you accept that there's only one question: why don't we?
- A mate helped me learn/install Proxmox and dammmnnn is it everything I've been missing in my home network setup. Between that, switching to ZFS, finally setting up PiHole & switching my dynamic IP updater from duckdns to inbuilt one of my domain registrar, it's a new world.

- There's a lot of people for whom what today represents must be not only defeated but utterly destroyed, lest it become the start of something even larger. They are the enemy of everything good about this moment. They know it, we need not forget it either.

- Reposted by Rohan GreyI'm working on a book about how this happened in Oregon. It took decades to accomplish, but a fairly small contingent of committed right wing activists eventually stole the OR GOP away from the moderates who'd historically controlled it. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/when-did-t...
