No one elected Elon Musk to dismantle the government, but that’s exactly what’s happening – and there’s a lot that everyday people could lose in the process. It’s up to all of us to push members of Congress to oppose Musk and Trump’s efforts to break all government functioning!

Like the tobacco industry before them, fossil fuel industries have used all sorts of tactics to hide and misrepresent data about how their products make people sick. Think we could invoice these corporations for our medical bills?

Thanks to @mzjacobson.bsky.social for this research showing that carbon capture - both direct and indirect - is more expensive than renewable energy. Once again, we can't afford not to transition to 100% renewables!

Last month's wildfires made California's need for climate resilience painfully clear. By prioritizing water infrastructure repair, ending factory farming and passing Superfund legislation, the state can stand up to Big Ag, Big Oil and the politicians and oligarchs who enable them!
