The Centre County intergovernmental solar project falls to the war on clean energy. But its potential is very much alive. Even though it will not be completed, the cause remains. Public opinion on solar and climate change as well as rising prices and budget stress will demand ingenuity. We are prepared.

I am so grateful to have gotten to work on the Centre County solar power purchase agreement. It’s wild that it took the full might of the federal government to stop it. Let that sink in.

“First one through the wall gets bloody.” Glad to do it.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

On Friday, 10 local governments met to end the intergovernmental solar power purchase agreement I catalyzed. After almost 7 years of painstaking work, it became a casualty of the MAGA war on clean energy.

But I am more heartened than saddened. Read why.

An unjust war should never be fought. But those who demand the war be fought should pay for it with their greatest effort.

This is not something we can ignore. Obama never went to war with Iran. Trump has failed to negotiate effectively on the world stage & is failing to govern the United States.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Sidewalk chalk from a rally for Black lives after the murder of George Floyd.

With a white nationalist in the White House & ICE terrorizing Americans, these words are at least as important today as they were then.

‘Heartbroken.’ Forest in Ferguson Township cleared years after controversial plans The township’s tree preservation ordinance only applies at sites where there are active development plans or permit requests. There currently are no such plans on the Pine Hall Forest site.

This is an utter tragedy.

A developer & the landowner decided to fell 65 acres of forest with no warning to the township or residents. They did it because they could, not because they had to.

More thoughts to come on Substack.

I need only to stand in the midst of a clear-cut forest, a strip-mined hillside, a defoliated jungle, or a dammed canyon to feel uneasy with assumptions that could yield the conclusion that no human action can make any difference to the welfare of anything but sentient animals.

…create economic policy that levels the playing field, protect the environment, & use evidence & reason.

You know how to stop freedom?

Create a one-party system that fetishizes guns, castes, & idolizes a man in the name of God & country.

You know how to support freedom?

Support public education, use public libraries, read & support an independent & free press, respect the independent judiciary, recognize the power of peer-reviewed science, fight for public health & universal healthcare,…

As Phillips O’Brien, professor of strategic studies at the University of St. Andrew’s in Scotland, said, Trump appears to have launched this attack for domestic political reasons.

The hostilities should cease immediately & diplomacy resumed.

Live updates: Trump say Iran’s supreme leader is dead The U.S. and Israel struck Iran on Saturday. President Donald Trump said Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, telling Iranians to take back their country.

The U.S. bombing of Iran is a war of choice. It runs completely contrary to Trump’s campaign promises to both end conflicts & keep the U.S. out of conflicts.

You clearly have a different operating definition of communism than I do. I don’t even know where to start with that. So I’m not going to.

If you are honestly interested in having a conversation, shoot me an email and we can have lunch or coffee.

The freedom of speech must include the right to offend. I will vigorously fight fascist speech with anti-fascist speech. I will also never negotiate with a fascist.

War and political violence are not acceptable. Full stop. Dr. King was right. Stephen Miller is wrong.

…or others in a fact-free zone. If you want a conversation, find my work email and we can get a coffee & see where we agree.

My record of actually fighting white Christian nationalists—who, for the record, have free speech just like I do—is crystal clear. Keep your Stalin rhetoric to yourself.

If you want to have a real conversation, then have a real conversation. Don’t come onto my Bluesky and unleash a torrent of insults, accusing me of cosplay. You don’t have free speech on my page. I’ve seen this game play out before, where someone thinks they have a free speech right to insult me…
