This is what ecocide looks like.
What will it cost us, Governor?
@profbobhowarth.bsky.social:
“Nuclear power is really expensive—far more expensive than solar, wind or hydro or appropriate energy storage—and it’s extremely slow to deploy...If you want to meet New York’s climate goals, nuclear power is just not going to do it.”

In the neighborhood? Stop by and commune with the drivers. 😆 Fridays, 3-5 pm (will soon change to 4-6 pm). #DataMatters
Sampled cars yesterday at @indivisiblehocomd.bsky.social banner drop on Gorman Rd over I-95, MD, to see if there was a "war bump," i.e., increased positive reactions (honking, waving, flashing lights). While sampling, it certainly sounded as the traffic down there was louder and more animated.
Beyond the honking, waving, and flashing lights from cars on I-95 passing under Gorman Rd, MD at @indivisiblehocomd.bsky.social banner drop, what are the drivers actually thinking? Well, here's one thought from an IG post yesterday. 👍😁
"A bag of 100 redeemable cans that now returns $5 would be worth $10 if the deposit climbs to a dime. For independent recyclers and low-income New Yorkers who rely on collecting empties for cash, advocates say that extra nickel per container can turn into a meaningful bump in income..."
Photo - four members of Third Act Maine's Western Mountains Hub hold signs inviting people to come out for NO KINGS DAY on March 28, 2026 Details - Western Mountains Third Act Maine and Indivisible will host a nonviolent ‘NO KINGS’ gathering at noon March 28 in Farmington, extending its weekly Peace and Protest vigil with singing and community participation. All are welcome! “We’re responding to a call from national organizations, including No Kings, Indivisible, Mobilize, and others,” organizers said in a news release. “In addition to that ongoing commitment, we are also aware of an increasing interest expressed by college students (University of Maine at Farmington) to stand up for their freedom and to support others less fortunate than they are. This event is perfectly timed to give them that opportunity.” The group’s Friday Peace and Protest events continue from noon to 1 p.m. each week, with about 50 people participating on both sides of Main Street, according to organizers. All events stress nonviolent direct action. Organizers said the March 28 event is not a march, so people can bring chairs or share food and not have to walk far. “People are also free to walk up and down the sidewalk reading all the signs and greeting each other,” the release said. Singing is planned as part of the event. In mid-February, a gathering of 75 people learned protest songs with the help of Ruth Hill, who will lead singing March 28. Organizers said a singing group will be somewhere along Main Street, possibly in front of Old South Church. “We want people to focus on the real needs of our communities, needs that are being defunded and set aside, i.e. SNAP Benefits, health care premium increases. We want to help people think carefully about where our tax resources are sent. And we want to help each other stand united in the face of threats and violence,” the release said.

Rachel Maddow called Bill a genius of exposition. Which rings true to me. Who else finds such clear, concise, vivid ways to sum up where we are and where we could and should be?

“The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act represents a promise that we will not sacrifice the health of our communities for short term political debates or fossil fuel interests.”

Dee Arnold of Washington County for Safe Drinking water moderated a Marietta press conference asking the state of Ohio for a moratorium on new injection wells storing toxic, radioactive gas and oil wastewater brine. More than 789 M gallons of toxic, radioactive gas and oil wastewater brine has been injected in Deeprock Disposal Solutions' injection wells from 2017 until 2024. (Washington County for Safe Drinking Water Photo)
Susan Vessels, Marietta City Council President, said the event was the first time in Ohio-- and maybe the nation's history-- that so many water districts have gotten together to fight for their future. She said the community wants drinking water safety. (Washington County for Safe Drinking Water Photo)
Bev Reed, Appalachian organizer with Buckeye Environmental Network, explains how 19 injection wells in Washington County can leak and cause migration of toxic, radioactive wastewater brine into conventional oil wells or groundwater, contaminating drinking water for Washington County.

This happened. The print interview was edited in ways that feel very jumpy, but I got to say some things. Like: Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war. [and then there's a crazy jump-cut w/out transition.]

"We have a few humble but powerful tools—the solar panel, the windmill, the battery—that make it easier to imagine something other than our current nightmare."
According to The Economist, Cuba’s imports of Chinese solar panels grew by a factor of 34 last year, faster than anywhere else in the world
