Trying to make the world better connected, more sustainable and equitable. Posting from Longmont, Colorado.

Michael Allen’s whole thing is that he can offer substance and experience. But when given the chance to offer any specifics on any issue: water, consumer protection, ICE collaboration, etc., he completely failed to deliver. I’ll be saying Yes to Jena Griswold and No to Michael Allen for Colorado AG.

I dug into EIA data and found a growing divide between electricity prices at investor-owned utilities and public power providers. Then @michellema.bsky.social and I visited two towns that show what that divide means for customers on the ground. Read our story here! www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

I just witnessed a truly unhinged episode of road rage driving into work today. I can only conclude that we need to add an emotional aptitude test to the drivers license exam. A lot of y’all would fail.

I began working on climate in 2015. It’s s hard to read @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social’s piece and not grieve at how far back we’ve gone. Oil and Gas has won the culture war, so now we on the left are told to abandon out convictions, consequences be dammed. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/o...

Really proud of the new water wise garden that took about 20 hours to get set this weekend. Goodbye grass, hello “Planted Prairie.” Thanks Resource Central for the major assist on the lawn removal and Garden In A Box.

20 new seedlings in a bed of fresh mulch in a residential neighborhood. A woman with a sun hat is in the background smiling. A circular sign on a wooden stake surrounded by fresh mulch and seedlings. The sign says “Bee Friendly and Water Wise — Garden in a Box.”
