Yeah, the bad news about Shell in Beaver County has gone global. “Meyer, of Moms Clean Air Force, feels that her region was “sacrificed” for the sake of profits.” theguardian.com/us-news/2024/d…

Most plastic is not recyclable. It's full of toxic chemicals and degrades into microplastics, which we are eating, breathing and drinking. It's not just killing Flipper, it's giving us cancer. We need better options than all this throwaway plastic packaging. #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Recycling is a joke. But the folks spending millions of dollars to promote it as a solution aren't preachy environmentalists, its the plastics and petchem companies themselves. The Plastics Industry Association literally has an active campaign called "Recycling is Real"

In a new article in the Guardian, human rights leader Rep. Jim McGovern urges President Biden to stand up to Chevron and pardon me after I was illegally detained for 993 days by the oil company. “No corporation is above the law.” ⤵️⤵️

It's not just the Hitler-style salutes - it's Elon Musk's support for far right political parties in Europe, and his attempts to cripple education, healthcare, and other critical social services here in the U.S. No wonder Trump likes him.

In 20+ years leading the oceans program at Greenpeace USA, I have disagreed with NOAA 10,000 times. They are too close to industry and far too conservative. But the work they do is essential. Musk & Trump have no idea how much damage they are causing to our economy or our ocean.

This CR would literally take food out of the mouths of hungry children, take healthcare away from seniors, and give a huge tax break to the wealthiest people on the planet. It cannot pass. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

BIG NEWS: A jury has reached a verdict that Greenpeace entities are liable for over $660 million in damages in our trial against Big Oil company Energy Transfer. This is far from over. We’re going to appeal. And we’re prepared to fight this all the way to victory.

When you cut agencies and programs that fuel our economy and alert us of hurricanes, it costs far more than it "saves." If Trump and Musk were serious about saving $, they'd be looking to the Pentagon, corporate subsidies, huge expenses on militarizing the police etc.

Trump's #BigUglyBill now belongs to the Republican Congress, which opted to cut a trillion dollars in healthcare for the people who need it most to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich. Revolutions have been launched over smaller outrages than this. #HappyIndependenceDay!
