1/3 UCS stands with @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social as it continues to fight attempts by #BigOilBullies to silence free speech and peaceful protest. As Greenpeace notes, this case is an alarming push by corporations to weaponize the courts to silence dissent. An attack on one is an attack on all.

Today, EPA's Lee Zeldin announced rollbacks on key environmental regulations, including pollution limits for coal plants, climate rules & EV standards. He called it a “consequential" day of deregulation, but for those who care about clean air & water, it's one of the most destructive in US history.
