#BREAKING: US Supreme Court rejects bid by Dakota Access to review decision invalidating its pipeline permit.
After six years, this litigation is finally over.
Welp, this is it. Not spending another molecule of my life energy on a site led by a weirdo narcissist far-right man-child. Account will be deactivated.
Please follow me on the other place!
Here's a picture of a baby hedgehog because why not.
NEPA nerds! I just posted a long-ish thread on the state of play for our favorite statute - on the other site. Find it over there! bsky.app/profile/janhasselma…
Welp I'm always a late adopter but I think its time. I'm moving to the Elon-free place - it rhymes with Fruit-fly! Same picture and everything.
These sneering permit bro takes are so incredibly boring. Show me data that engaging people respectfully slows down the rollout of clean energy. Our experience with intervenor funding in the PNW is that good ideas get better, and bad ideas get dropped. Find a new schtick guys.

If Ds pick Rahm Emmanuel over this guy it will be the final nail in the coffin for the party. Ben would be terrific.
Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me.
(confirming @natashakorecki)
Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.
Hardcore climate activists and establishment climate advocates agree on one thing:
Jill Stein is a toxic fraud who has managed to appropriate a "Green" label but who is actively making an environmental catastrophe more likely.
Don't fall for it.

Mother Jones explains I-2066, the "chaos bomb that will make energy more expensive and the future more complicated." Check it out. motherjones.com/politics/202…
2066 is a dishonest scan pushed by billionaires and the fossil fuel industry. VOTE NO WASHINGTON!!
Sticker shock! I-2066 is projected to increase WA consumer energy costs $150/month. Stop higher energy bills—vote NO on I-2066! climatesolutions.org/article…
Make no mistake: there will be multiple efforts to stage a coup if Harris wins. Pay very close attention.
Absolutely revolting and unacceptable from a Congressional leader.
NEW: House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris said last night that North Carolina legislators should consider awarding their state's electors to Donald Trump before votes are counted, due to the impact of Hurricane Helene.

Washington: Wondering about I-2066? Here's a little info to help you make a decision. TL/DR version: Vote No to higher utility prices and a major climate and public health rollback

Jill Stein and the Green Party are working around the clock to make sure Trump gets the chance to roll back every climate initiative of the last four years. washingtonpost.com/business/…
These toxic frauds are doing untold damage.
Want to exercise power? Then go build power, by convincing people that your ideas are good.
But all they offer is a chance to burn everything down, while making people hate progressive ideas in the process.

Good morning to everyone except NIMBY dickheads like this who abuse critical environmental laws and make them difficult to defend.
CEQA/NEPA are vital tools for protecting communities against real threats, not food banks and affordable housing.
I-2066 is a dangerous and misguided initiative that will appear on Washington ballots this fall. It will hamstring common sense efforts to manage the clean energy transition and will lead to big spikes in utility bills down the road.
VOTE NO ON I-2066 and pass it on.
I-2066 is yet another cash grab for the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyday Washingtonians.

Once again, Seattle’s leadership is actively fighting the mainstream Democratic agenda.
