Let’s be clear carbon capture doesn’t not stop emission. Carbon capture is not energy transition, carbon capture is a $$ machine for big industry while risking the health and safety of people who have been exploited for years. If you wanna talk real energy transition I’m happy to

Nothing like managing a list of like 250 people, coming 1000s of miles to one of the most expensive cities in the world to address an existential threat, only to be told a week out that barely a fraction of us will be allowed in the room.
This is a massive bungling. 😡

The intention to restrict participation to one representative per organization flies in the face of the mandate and established best practice by severely curtailing observers' ability to engage in the process.

Subsidizing of synthetic carbon capture/direct air capture projects by governments is a disgrace, indicating a disconnect between policy and truth

Tell it, !! “The developers of carbon injection projects are not going to get environmental justice advocates on board.... There is no environmental justice to be found in the injection of carbon under the ground.”

Where were these guys when we spent months + thousand$ on lawyers? Where were they when we were organizing to stop it before it reached this point? Where were they when Sundar lied about us & diminished the risks we demonstrated? I'm not interested in dissent without solidarity.

referring to a murdered family as “5 illegal immigrants” is disgusting. it takes a lot to shock my conscience after covering texas for so long, but this did it. just a middle finger to basic decency, and the dignity of five humans who were killed for no reason, from the governor
Quote Tweet
I’ve announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday. Also directed #OperationLoneStar to be on the lookout.
I continue working with state & local officials to ensure all available resources are deployed to respond.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
At least one of the dead was a legal resident of the US

Last night's Zoloft anxiety dream: I was repping my org at a super important funders' meeting where I was slotted to speak. But I spilled coffee everywhere, and then I snuck home to change my clothes but got stuck watching the end of a movie with my dad, and then I came back...

What the extremists are doing in state houses are political coups. This is a throwback to a pattern Southern states used to overthrow movement success in the 1870s and 1970s.

What happened today at the #Louisiana #lege was a travesty. Senate Ed committee allowed outright lies during supporting testimony, then silenced any dissent. This is #dystopian. This is not #America.

She gave me 9 years and 142,000 miles, but I just said goodbye to my first new car. 💔
Those damn transmissions on those damn hybrid Jettas that they don't make anymore. Curses!
I wish I could have economically gotten more miles out of her, but we had a good run.

This was insane.
They allowed a woman to read out sexual material she claimed was from the kindergarten section and then they allowed no opposing testimony
Librarians were prepared to clarify that the material she read was NOT from children’s section #lalege

This is fucking outrageous! You should NOT be able to use this rule to end discussion IN COMMITTEE.
This has major implications for democracy in this state + in this country if this is allowed to stand.
Quote Tweet
Following only three public comments in support of SB 7, Senator Bodie White has called for previous question and receives no opposition from the committee. This ends discussion of the bill. #lalege

"Our children are to be taught and not indoctrinated," said the bill's sponsor, who is demanding that children be taught only one very specific reactionary perspective on gender and sexuality.
