Putnam County NY towns of Carmel and Southeast ban solar farms and battery energy storage sites that could lower electricity prices. Meanwhile, this ugly data center is built without so much as a peep.
This sort of “economic development” makes the big box debacle up the road look quaint.

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

My latest for @inquest.bsky.social ...and yes, we can ultimately win, if we are willing to work in transformative ways. It will require the best we have in ourselves, but along the way, we may become quietly courageous in ways that will surprise and energize us. inquest.org/this-is-how-...

A powerful and eye-opening narrative of recent events in Chicago. This reminded me to forego my privilege by following the news, calling out authoritarian, anti-constitutional actions, prepare to refuse cooperation, and protect my neighbors. A worthy 10 minute read.

Newbie here. Although I abandoned that other social media site a while back, I finally deactivated my personal and organizational accounts yesterday. And like so many others, I’m hoping to establish a network here, learn from others, and share, without so much ego-driven madness.
