People are tired of hearing what the government can’t do. I’m ready to show them what the government can do. ✍🏾: Martin Austermuhle 📸: Kainaz Amaria www.notus.org/metro/janees...

Girls night! @anne-louise-taylor.bsky.social

Last night’s strawberry rhubarb crisp

I'm not a particularly optimistic person on climate but let me say what is happening with battery storage is really incredible, even in the ol' United States

The fact that Uncrustables have been an incredible success, on the market for decades, explains a lot about America

This is terrible www.semafor.com/article/06/0...

LOVE YOU 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍🌈

FWIW @washingtoninformer.com has some of the best DC election coverage in the city right now, and the current print copy has extensive candidate Q+As

in 2021 solar and wind exceeded global nuclear power production. in 2025 they exceeded hydro. and now they are exceeding natural gas electrek.co/2026/05/20/i...

Just a friendly reminder that *utilities* are begging the administration to let them stop using coal www.citact.org/news/centerp...

We literally have had a program of releasing millions of sterile male screwworm flies a year into the Darien Gap in order to prevent it from expanding northward into Mexico. What happened to that program under Trump? Who the hell knows--but welcome to screwworm! These guys are absolutely nasty.

A vehicle-to-grid pilot program in Massachusetts: "The district will earn revenue for the power it shares, perhaps even enough to cover the costs of charging up during the school year," Acton-Boxborough school district's Kate Crosby told Sarah Shemkus: www.canarymedia.com/articles/ev-... 🔌💡

Drivers apply their brakes more consistently for speed bumps than stop signs, which is why every pedestrian crossing at a stop sign should be a raised crosswalk as high as a speed bump minimum above the roadway.

Once very early in my career as a young environmental flack I called a number I had for Scott Pelley’s office and he ANSWERED and I panicked and mumbled some dumb pitch and he was super nice about it

I worked hard on this story, it's important, & I want to share it. I'm also finding it difficult to put it out there without this context: Just as I wrapped up final edits last week, I got word that a friend vacationing in Arizona had died after overheating on a hike. www.eenews.net/articles/dea...

"'It’s a slap in the face to rural Coloradans,' Mr. Toor said, “at a moment when energy affordability is one of the defining issues in this country.'" www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

McDuffie's platform favors reckless drivers and scofflaws in ways I find appalling. He opposes speed cameras that save lives. He wants to forgive parking tickets that law-breakers racked up by illegally blocking fire hydrants and bus lanes. He supports parking over bike lanes. It's all bad!

It's very funny to me when out-of-state leaders endorse people in DC local elections. Unless you live here, I could not care less about any of your opinions!

Hey, DC, check out the brand-new independent, free, and reader-supported @capitalweather.bsky.social (they got out of the gang life) www.capitalweather.com

Good news from New York: Balcony Solar passed the legislature!!

I find it odd that it's not a bigger issue in the DC mayoral election that Kenyan McDuffie sends his kids to private school

This school electrification program is popular and effective: - It delivers $30 in value for every $1 invested — from better learning outcomes to fewer sick days - Almost half the $ has gone to underserved schools - 92% of Californians support cooling schools

The full announcement from Banerjee. A terrible loss for NPR and the nation. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Great WaPo article on the **10,000** huge diesel generators at Virginia's data centers permitted to emit 13,000 tons of NOx. The article is based on data crunched here at Sierra Club (1/9) @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Have seen so many ads like this for solar in Puerto Rico "Free yourself from blackouts"

"No matter where you live in the United States or what your driving habits are, a battery electric vehicle is likely to have a smaller carbon footprint and cost less overall than a comparable gasoline-powered vehicle, according to a new analysis." www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2026/05/a-la...

When you read a lot of history books, you can’t help but think how lucky we are to live in the best olfactory era

I have spent WAY too many hours researching the at-large candidates but the good news is they all seem generally ok, which is saying something

many such cases! in fact the anti data center movement is super duper empowering opposition to renewables in the U.S. 😊

Men will do anything but invest in renewables

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

“No one ever looks into what’s actually going on in your home,” says Leilani Scott-Clark, a teen living in SE. “That’s what causes youth to even act out the way they do or even stay out.”  @sarahykim.bsky.social hears directly from kids impacted by the curfew debate: wamu.org/story/26/05/...

Was just reading about the broad-based decline in social media usage since roughly 2022, apparently most marked among younger users. Hope it continues. An interesting question is whether the badness is baked into the medium or is a result of mindless pursuit of engagement.

Finally, all my biggest fears combined into one even bigger fear!

Our taxpayers deserve a city where basic government services work.

I'm old enough to remember when DOGE was saying USAID staffers were useless and they were like "we test people for Ebola at the airport but ok" www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/w...

I've been thinking a lot about the death of friendship lately. "Somewhere between “Let’s catch up soon” and “Sorry, life has been hectic”, adult friendship became one of the most emotionally significant and least discussed losses of modern life." timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/civil-...

Hey, it's very much worth reading the actual candidate answers on the @ggwash.org surveys too ggwash.org/elections/2026

My Subway Take is kids don’t need 2-3 snacks and an electrolyte drink after a game

It's time for AOC to make some visits to farm country www.amatoadvisors.com/farmer-poll

Something extraordinary – yet predictable – has happened over recent days on Facebook. Fake accounts that usually post anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim content generated using AI to fuel division and hate in UK are now pushing out AI-gen content asking: "Should the UK produce its own fuel again?"

This mailer from @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social’s reelection campaign is pretty darn effective

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben recently pointed out that Trump's Truth Social posts are just treated as "background noise" now: "Most Americans (and perhaps even journalists) never see most of those posts." That's a problem...

Of all places, Texas has emerged as a leader on solar and storage www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

First, Democrats already completely avoid talking about climate. We checked TV Congress, our ad database, and sure enough: flat zero spent on ads coded "climate change" in 2020, 2022, and 2024, by either party. How's that working out for them? americaforward.us/tvcongress/

I had this marshmallow oat milk latte at Big Shoulders Coffee in Chicago in November and have thought about it every morning since
