"Entrenched interests use despair, confusion and apathy to prevent change. They encourage modes of thinking which lead us to believe that problems are insolvable, that nothing we do can matter, that the issue is too complex to present even the opportunity for change."

"In high conflict, people are stuck in the same repetitive, negative, hostile emotions," says @amandaripley at #CCL2025 in conversation with @AlexMarianyi.

"In good conflict, you have anger, frustration, sadness — and there's also flashes of surprise, curiosity, even humor."

Me: "It feels like we go through this government funding shit every year."

@billmckibben I think the question will ultimately be what level of support for permitting fossil fuels will be acceptable to get permitting reform for clean energy. Because getting anything done in congress today requires compromise, and a world without reform is one where fossil fuels win.

Grid Strategies put together a great one-pager on how the transmission provisions in the permitting bill would work:

As promised, here's an explainer on what's in the bipartisan permitting bill that Senate ENR Committee is voting on tomorrow. TLDR, It's a great compromise bill where no one will love each detail. Good for energy affordability, reliability, and climate.

7. Nothing I’ve ever done in my life has given me more faith in this country than Tangle. I bet on people wanting to get out of their bubbles in 2019, at the height of partisanship. I bet on ppl wanting something better. It was a damn good bet.

Just sitting in my kitchen by myself singing along with @TheHighKings "The Fields of Athenry" and crying. But in a good way.

Pour one out for the Dem convention staff who now have to reprint every sign, step and repeat, and napkin. That sympathy supersedes political party.

The PROVE IT Act has dropped in the U.S. House of Representatives!

We are thrilled that this important climate legislation is moving forward — and that it has robust bipartisan support, too.

I feel personally attacked😅 @TangleNews @Ike_Saul

[Rachel Kerestes @rkerestes]

A number of @citizensclimate volunteers asked me about bipartisanship - and how we can build relationships in these polarized times. It's true that it feels like we're more divided than ever. But, if you stop and talk with folks with whom you disagree, you may find more in common
