@kostyack.bsky.socialPlan B, which in my book is plan A, is to build and mobilize real multiracial grassroots power and apply it to elected officials and corporations making decision. That’s the only way to “win fast,” as I see it, alongside improving economics for clean energy and a Dem trifecta in 2029.
Show PostThe Senate's bipartisan permit reform bill would upend the National Environmental Policy Act and also weaken the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. My legal analysis: scholarship.law.columbia.edu/faculty_scho...
Show PostDems, time to focus on fighting fascism. If you're a centrist and you have an issue with progressives, a progressive who has an issue with centrists, a pro-Israel Dem who has an issue with critics, or anyone else inclined to slow our pace to a big victory in November, have a seat, save it for later.
Show PostRight, yeah. I personally don't believe that GDP growth (narrowly defined), or stock-market growth, are good indicators of overall economic health. Just saying that through that narrow lens, I suspect the 'economic benefits' are positive and maybe substantial.
Show PostIt is one of the oldest climate-denial tropes in the book to call people who listen to the @ipcc.bsky.social “fanatics” of some sort of religion. It’s also climate denial to claim that more oil and gas and more global heating will lower prices and spur real growth (not just growth in equities).
