#BREAKING: US Supreme Court rejects bid by Dakota Access to review decision invalidating its pipeline permit.

After six years, this litigation is finally over.

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

Welp, this is it. Not spending another molecule of my life energy on a site led by a weirdo narcissist far-right man-child. Account will be deactivated.

Please follow me on the other place!

Here's a picture of a baby hedgehog because why not.

NEPA nerds! I just posted a long-ish thread on the state of play for our favorite statute - on the other site. Find it over there! https://t.co/hRiiGrugld

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

Welp I'm always a late adopter but I think its time. I'm moving to the Elon-free place - it rhymes with Fruit-fly! Same picture and everything.

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

These sneering permit bro takes are so incredibly boring. Show me data that engaging people respectfully slows down the rollout of clean energy. Our experience with intervenor funding in the PNW is that good ideas get better, and bad ideas get dropped. Find a new schtick guys.

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

@AaronRegunberg Yep, looking for a DC outsider with a record of getting things done that wants to raise national minimum wage and build a shit-ton of housing.

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

If Ds pick Rahm Emmanuel over this guy it will be the final nail in the coffin for the party. Ben would be terrific.

[. @GregTSargent]

Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me.

(confirming @natashakorecki)

Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.

Hardcore climate activists and establishment climate advocates agree on one thing:

Jill Stein is a toxic fraud who has managed to appropriate a "Green" label but who is actively making an environmental catastrophe more likely.

Don't fall for it.

Mother Jones explains I-2066, the "chaos bomb that will make energy more expensive and the future more complicated." Check it out. https://t.co/3rqfjNTHrB

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

2066 is a dishonest scan pushed by billionaires and the fossil fuel industry. VOTE NO WASHINGTON!!

[No on 2066 @no_on_2066]

Sticker shock! I-2066 is projected to increase WA consumer energy costs $150/month. Stop higher energy bills—vote NO on I-2066! https://t.co/iNkmtAD3Um

@TonyHinchcliffe Whats it like feeling that gnawing pit in your stomach that you may have just blown the election for Trump? Your POS joke has been seen by 100s of millions of people.

PS you may not want to be vacationing in PR anytime soon loser

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

Make no mistake: there will be multiple efforts to stage a coup if Harris wins. Pay very close attention.

Absolutely revolting and unacceptable from a Congressional leader.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEW: House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris said last night that North Carolina legislators should consider awarding their state's electors to Donald Trump before votes are counted, due to the impact of Hurricane Helene.

Washington: Wondering about I-2066? Here's a little info to help you make a decision. TL/DR version: Vote No to higher utility prices and a major climate and public health rollback

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

Jill Stein and the Green Party are working around the clock to make sure Trump gets the chance to roll back every climate initiative of the last four years. https://t.co/XvzfQsRYd6

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

These toxic frauds are doing untold damage.

Want to exercise power? Then go build power, by convincing people that your ideas are good.

But all they offer is a chance to burn everything down, while making people hate progressive ideas in the process.

The 7 stages of reading an opposition brief

1. dang I'm going to lose this case
2. I'm a bad lawyer
3. I'm in fact a bad person
4. hold on wait a sec
5. they didn't respond to x and y arguments
6. the cases they cite don't say that at all
7. eff these guys, I'm going to win

Good morning to everyone except NIMBY dickheads like this who abuse critical environmental laws and make them difficult to defend.

CEQA/NEPA are vital tools for protecting communities against real threats, not food banks and affordable housing.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

Once again CEQA shows its true colors. It’s the law that swallowed California — a tool anyone with resources can use to obstruct any project they don’t like, no matter how beneficial.

CEQA needs to be re-tooled to focus on climate action & sustainability, not NIMBYism.

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

Also most of what the proponents say about it is a flat out lie. And it is bankrolled by a billionaire dickhead hedge fund manager, so there's that too.

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

I-2066 is a dangerous and misguided initiative that will appear on Washington ballots this fall. It will hamstring common sense efforts to manage the clean energy transition and will lead to big spikes in utility bills down the road.

VOTE NO ON I-2066 and pass it on.

[Poverty Action @povertyactionwa]

I-2066 is yet another cash grab for the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyday Washingtonians.
