Trump's executive overreach is happening on multiple fronts. His fake emergency declaration on energy is a ruse to push through the dirty fossil fuel industry agenda by overriding state authority and bypassing environmental safeguards. PA must fight back! bit.ly/DRNShapiroPA

It took the people a decade to finally get fracking banned in the Delaware River Basin. The reason? It can't be done safely and risks contaminating and polluting the water source for more than 15 million people. We are NOT going back!

If the big ugly budget bill gets passed, you can expect more eminent domain seizures of private land for the purposes of building pipelines + other fossil fuel infrastructure. This bill must be stopped. Organizations need to stop this! bit.ly/VOICES_Reconcil_SignOn

Decry energy emergency but in the same breath, remove tax credits and incentives for renewable energy. Claim you're going to make America healthy, but you remove pollution controls and prop up dirty fossil fuels that poison the air for residents and workers.

It's not a Monarch Caterpillar, but a Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar, though both are very similar in that they feed on milkweed exclusively and have similar coloration. (guess how that could be beneficial)! If you have milkweeds, you might be seeing these guys in the next few months!
