All about fighting for climate justice. Happy to nerd out on the clean energy transition, cityscapes for people not cars, and way too many other things. Need an occasional baby animal video for sanity.

An abundant world is possible, and in many ways, already exists. We need to listen to frontline communities on the ground and implement their solutions —solutions that address deep inequities, the root causes of climate change, and are already proven to work.

To be clear: the massive cover up is decades in the making. That’s an unforgivable scandal in itself. It was a poorly kept secret involving scores of rich, powerful, deplorable men
Robert Garcia says House Democrats are likely to release more Epstein-related documents later today and adds, "we want to know why Donald Trump spent the entire campaign saying he would release the files and now that he's in the White House, there's a massive coverup going on."

The Trump admin seems set to force two Colorado coal plants to stay open past their planned closure this year, even as the costs of keeping an aging, unnecessary Michigan coal plant running through the summer top $80M. Are more must-run orders coming?

Why care about what’s happening in American Christianity (specifically white varieties)? because it is a HUGE part of our current political crisis. I believe crafting new white Christian narratives is at least part of the solution. most commentators dont get this.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Trump reportedly demanded that the DOJ pay him for past criminal cases brought against him.
Reminder that the DOJ doesn't have to make a public announcement, meaning they could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy.
That's unprecedented, unethical and unacceptable.
