America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

Truly mentally exhausting 10 days being an American and watching the authoritarianism grow that I didn’t vote for but at least I get to give into all her begging for treats everyday and be surrounded by people who didn’t vote for this Banana Republic.

US friends, write your reps: uphold legislation already reducing lead exposures by replacing leaded (drinking water) service lines -- there is no safe exposure level for a developing brain -- with safer, copper (not PVC or CPVC) piping. Script, details here: www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/01/28/r...

Thinking about this beautiful land we have the privilege to live on. Pulling out of the #ParisAgreement and rolling back other climate related initiatives is not the solution. Renewables and circular initiatives should be the future. #PlasticsTreaty #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #PlasticPollution

Migrant crossings plummeted this past year, but Trump is declaring a crisis at the border to weaponize the military against legal immigrants and even US citizens. We have record oil production, but Trump’s declaring an energy emergency to roll back clean energy investments and climate progress.

Is there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires iopscience.iop.org/a...

A plastics treaty at the UN to protect both people and the environment has yet to be ratified. Meanwhile, new research finds microplastics not only in human tissue but now also in dolphins. wildhunt.org/2025/01/un-p... #microplastics #environment #science #dolphins #sciencesky #plasticpollution

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Yet, this doesn’t seem to be common knowledge that plastics contain dangerous chemicals. People have a right to know.

Los Angeles-area people! Trying to compile a list of mutual aid groups/community kitchens/animal shelters/etc offering services or mobilizing to help those displaced by the fires. Let me know/send links and any info to donate.

Spent most of the last 5 days recovering from #PlasticsTreaty negotiations and dreaming of matcha soft serve. Maybe #INC5 continued will have it?
