"BAAJA undermines bedrock environmental laws while granting the fossil fuel industry more power, more access to public lands, and less accountability. In return, the package includes tenuous renewable energy and transmission provisions, many of which could be achieved under current law."
Dear @heinrich.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov You two are on the wrong side of this bill. Please join your colleagues who have more common sense, greater ability to read the room, and are true defenders of our public lands and environmental laws. What will it take? It’s OK to change your mind.
Thank god for @wyden.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social @merkley.senate.gov, who rightly point out that BAAJA enables Trump to favor fossil fuel projects, even under the naive assumption that our President would follow the law as written. Thank you for your sanity, Senators!

"The only safe way to use information is to try to disprove what you believe." And that takes incredible intellectual and emotional perhaps even spiritual courage. Because so much of our identity is tied to the ‘facts’ we believe.

TEXAS OHIO GEORGIA NORTH CAROLINA MICHIGAN IOWA ALASKA Are you in one of these states? Then you’ve got an extra important role to play to protect the results of the midterms. Let’s get into election protection formation.
Dear @heinrich.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov Are you studying the reviews of BAAJA? "Once stripped of its deceptive branding, the bill is an out-and-out assault on the National Environmental Policy Act, the bedrock environmental law"
A ‘Bipartisan’ Bill to Dismantle the Nation’s Bedrock Environmental Law: The truth is that it will fast-track environmental destruction. #environment therevelator.org/baaja/
You think some progressive humans are happy about Lula's win? Nature has literally sighed a breath of relief as we understand the Amazon region to be the lungs of planet Earth. And it is lined up to be protected, unlike plans under Bolsonaro.
Absolutely FABULOUS news for all life on Earth, especially the Amazon rainforest!!!! Despite the fascists playing every dirty, cheating trick in the book to steal this election, the people of Brazil saw through the lies. So, so, happy and relieved this morning 🇧🇷 👏 share.google/UdpzcSkD5us7...

🌪️ The Santa Fe tornado has been rated a high-end EF-1, with winds of 110 mph. The tornado traveled 1.4 miles between 7 and 7:08 pm Saturday, damaging 10 homes. No injuries were reported. This is only the THIRD documented tornado in Santa Fe and the first in 55 years. #NMwx

Ultimately, if you only have time to know one thing about all of this, just know that not a single solitary tech oligarch, tech company, or tech-backed politician has a single solitary serious commitment to the existence of Black political power or economic security in their plans for the future.

Historic flooding in Farmington, NM, today. Our KRQE photographer captured this video as the San Juan River reached its highest recorded level, breaking the record from 1909. Dangerous flooding continues downstream toward Shiprock, where river levels will rise tonight. #NMwx

As a key architect of the Senate permitting deal, @heinrich.senate.gov has aligned himself w/Billionaire tech, energy, & finance interests. He's bulldozing over New Mexicans & our values, obscuring the immense harms this bill will cause. This bill does not "codify" NHPA protections. It guts them.

@kylec.bsky.social If you so choose, please ask this question to politicians. What is something that you take full accountability for, whether it goes right or wrong? This can be used for policy decisions, bills sponsored, votes cast, anything.

More research for you both to please get off the permanent DST bill and vote it down. @heinrich.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov
“Studies link DST with motor vehicle crashes, cardiovascular events, mood disturbances…”
Are you ready to withdraw your sponsorship, @heinrich.senate.gov ?
Environmentalists are decrying the Senate permitting deal. “Unconditional surrender to the fossil fuel industry shouldn’t be the price for common-sense transmission reform,” said Lukas Shankar-Ross, a deputy director at Friends of the Earth US. Gift article. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Genocide is not enough for these goons; they also commit ecocide.
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.
What can you say but JFC.
3: I find Sec. 1402 particularly noxious b/c the idea of "disparate treatment" is pulled from civil rights law, to prevent discrimination of marginalized protected classes. With the permitting deal, Congress is effectively making fossil fuels a "protected class." That's really, really messed up.

Important piece from @doctorvive.bsky.social "Perhaps the most underappreciated truth about climate politics is that, even if the liberals call for clean-energy development, both the authoritarian right and the center-left reject the phaseout of fossil fuels. " Some big green NGOs need to read.
“Policies that work in one place fail in another because officials can replicate the law or the money, but not the leadership — the force of will — behind the original success.” Again, codependency is not caring. Carrots + Sticks, not just carrots. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/o...

Important points to remember these days. Solar and wind power use almost no water. Natural gas and coal power use HUGE amounts of water.
Data centers' water consumption is enormous & growing, thanks to the heavy reliance on gas-fired power. Most refuse to disclose this consumption. Asked why, Googe dodges, says it has "concentrated on powering data centers with renewable energy." Except it doesn't disclose its power sources either.
ease note @heinrich.senate.gov that this govt is 100% untrustworthy and there is NO making deals with them as they will do WTF they want regardless. Stop collaborating with the enemies of our nation.
"More than being upset and furious right now, I am just beyond disappointed in the government. I have done everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt in this case. I have done it repeatedly. I have done it for months."
I agree. Not all of us, but clearly most of us.
It is highly likely this will fail to persuade a single one of the techno optimists, including many in the clean energy crowd, but a core reason I feel disdain for the Senate permitting deal is that it is soulless. People want to be part of a living world, not a soulless machine.
