@drvolts Listened to the recent pod with Abby Dillen and heard a reference to an MIT study/review of clean energy projects and what causes delays in permitting, etc. Do you know the author(s) or have a link to the paper? Having a hard time finding it. Thanks for any help!

The House just passed a $374 billion climate bill. Climate experts say it could revive a long-shot possibility of limiting global warming to 1.5°C https://t.co/2PqXjvu0vo

A Brief History of Nobody Wants to Work Anymore

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who took more campaign cash from the oil and gas industry than any other senator, blew up the Democratic Party’s plan to fight climate change.

Here’s a look at how the plan unraveled as the Earth continued to warm.

A few thoughts informed by a decade or so of working in the issue in #westernMA … #mapoli https://t.co/0ctoIrlKoT

As our forebears did with the 14th amendment, we need to show similar constitutional amending resolve to protect the rights, privacy, and equality of all people in this country.

[Chris Roughton @chrisroughton]

Really well done historical analysis (as always) in this @HC_Richardson piece, linking Dobbs to Dred Scott, and showing how the work of the GOP today to strip the rights of people is a callback to what the post-Civil War South attempted to do.

The Court's insane overreach has given Joe Biden the greatest political opportunity of recent times. He has to get on a train and take full advantage. Right now.

Didn’t know what else to do after this abomination of a SCOTUS ruling.

So we set up a monthly donation to Planned Parenthood @PPFA.

It’s not enough, but it’s a start.

If you’re able, please consider doing the same. https://t.co/Nfg0jbU0B2

Please note: The laws Alito cited in the majority opinion striking down Roe were passed before any women in the US could vote. @missanabeem has the ugly details https://t.co/7AmdwjpeZp via @qz

@drvolts Ran through our house similarly in December. Eventually all tested positive, even with masking and open windows. I'd say do the best you can, but presume he's gonna get it (which sounds like you already are).

Study after study has found the climate crisis is compounding global inequality, threatening poorer nations and communities more than rich ones.

A new peer-reviewed analysis from @SalemState and @UCL suggests inequality is also worsening climate change. https://t.co/zOkpEFBMys

I met Jerome Bridges today.

He's worked at the Tops on Jefferson for four years. For the past five days, he's been reliving the horror that happened while he was on the job.

Carrying his name tag ever since.
