I’ve seen solar on schools work first-hand. It creates virtuous cycles: 💵 Frees up money for programs and teachers ⚡️Enables other energy-saving investments 🏘️ Encourages neighbors to follow suit

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

Absolute banger of a line. Great article.

Amazing story. Imagine a world with: More time for Wordle bc you’re not driving Less traffic Cleaner air

Great article on the PJM vote tomorrow and how it will impact energy bills for millions of people.

A generational self-own.

NEW: Indiana will NOT redistrict. They don’t have the votes. www.wishtv.com/news/politic...

I’m old enough to remember when this stuff was fun.

As someone who has ranted about clean energy stock photos in the past, I feel this deeply. Accurate headlines and photos matter.

I think he cleaned this list up for the masses. No way a Chicago guy of his age doesn't include The Untouchables.

Eagles game went from boring to dumb to lucky.

This is the second time in 2-ish years that solar has been the *cover story* for the economist.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

A man collapsed in the Oval Office yesterday. The internet got the story wrong. My experience struggling to correct the record — including on Bluesky! — and the warning signs as AI, aggregation, and social media increasingly drive our news consumption.

“It’s kind of a shocking number." The median age of first-time home buyers in the U.S. hit an all-time high of 40 in 2025, according to a report from the National Association of Realtors. nyti.ms/4hKc58V

I'm following the hearing in Judge John McConell's courtroom re: Motion for TRO on SNAP benefits brought by a coalition of non-profits. He should take the bench in about 15 minutes. Follow along!

One of my best friends is Australian and he makes doing good things look really easy. So this tracks. Good work, Australia.

Y’know how the vibes are immaculate right now, and so you’re constantly refreshing the timeline? Bluesky didn’t cause that. It channeled it. Good times make good platforms. Bluesky, as a platform, has been saddled with trying to scale amidst bad times.

After last night's blue wave, I keep coming back to @chrislhayes.bsky.social's piece about earning attention. It was spot on. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/o...

OMG tell this story a million ways in a million places. Clean energy benefits local communities with real $$$. Full stop. Props to @sophiehartley.bsky.social, @indystar.bsky.social and all the orgs who make journalism like this possible.

NEW! And shareable: Environment America's Research & Policy Center & @frontiergroup.bsky.social’s new dashboard *released today* takes a state-by-state look at how Americans are integrating clean energy into their lives. Good things are happening. environmentamerica.org/center/resou... 🧵

Reposting for all the newly elected candidates out there.

Here for all your “Sixers lose / blues win” juxtaposition content.

Well, the Sixers lost in a squeaker but we swept the PA statewide judicial elections and retention races.

Maybe the political victories required a blood sacrifice so the Sixers offered up their dignity?

Election sweep >>>> Sixers collapse.

Well, at least the Sixers aren't the biggest losers in the NBA tonight

It’s my fault, I prayed to A’ja Wilson for Zohran and the Eagles not trading AJ and I did offer up that I was willing to take a Sixers L as penance. She’s a vengeful god.

Not even a really dumb Sixers loss can dim my joy over election results tonight. (If I could work SLA and Ultimate into this post, it’d be my perfect post.)

If the Sixers are the only blue [team] to lose from ahead tonight I swear to god

Sixers blowing the lead was the only thing keeping us from a full Ewok victory party.

L F (and I cannot emphasize this enough) G

I have been saying the opposite all year so only fair to note: Some of the worst people alive are very unhappy right now

Is election Twitter still worthwhile?

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Good things popping in #solar this week. Community solar getting the capital it needs: pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/11/03/c... Clean energy stocks on the up: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hope is the spark that ignites change in the toughest political storms — just as solar energy is the spark that lights our path to a sustainable, clean energy future. Learn more about Vote Solar's recent solar successes across the country ☀️

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

Props to @emilypont.bsky.social and @heatmap.news. These elections will shape how we think about mid-terms and clean energy.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

The only truly devestating interview you could do with Trump is a series of factual questions asked by someone with no affect: “How does a bill become a law?” “Name three countries where American troops are stationed.” “Will you be raising tariffs on Wakanda?”

The ends do not justify the Means. Public health is best protected by putting scientific evidence into practice, not by trusting the instincts of those who reject scientific evidence. Oppose the appointment of Casey Means as US Surgeon General.

1: the video in this story is harrowing. Can’t imagine being the first responder. 2: @ilenergynetwork.bsky.social and News from the States is 💯. Highly recommend.

🧵There's a pernicious myth that Republicans have more money than Democrats. In fact, Democrats have raised more—including so-called "dark money." Republicans have less money but understand politics better. This is why they win. My upcoming e-book "What Republicans Know" discusses…
