Dan Gillmor is 100% correct. I wish he was on Post, but whether it’s Post, or Mastodon or Spoutible.com (coming soon) - staying on Twitter for “the fight” is laughable.

If you’re trying to follow my new link, please ignore the “this link is unsafe” message that the bird site gives you. It is very safe. That message is a ruse, & yet another example of Mr New Owner’s desperate censorship tactics.

Thank you for calling on to swiftly distribute #IIJA funds to frontline communities that have been disproportionately impacted by tailpipe pollution. Relief for these communities can not be delayed! ➡️

As world leaders gather in #SharmElSheikh for #COP27, we must remind them that there is no road to the goals of the #ParisAgreement without #CleanerCars and #CleanerTrucks.

Valero boosted profits by 500% in just one year by price gouging families at the pump. The House passed my bill to hold Big Oil companies accountable for ripping off consumers in May. The Senate needs to act.

All across the country, local governments are restricting and banning clean energy projects.
I heard rumors that misinformation on Facebook was a major cause of this.
So I joined ~40 anti-wind and solar groups to see some of it for myself.
The results were bleak.

According to a recent DoE study, there were 40,000 turbines in America in 2017.
By that point, there had only been 40 incidents. And no one was injured.
By comparison, pollution from fossil fuels kills millions every year.

Basic facts:
#1 Who controls the amount of oil U.S. companies produce? U.S. oil cos.
#2 Oil companies have been assuring their shareholders for months that they'll keep prices high to make up for losses during Covid + the fracking boom
#3 Commodity traders play a huge role

Delighted to learn from that NJ's AG is suing five oil&gas co's for deceiving the public about the existence of #climatechange and the degree to which their fossil fuel products have been exacerbating anthropogenic #GlobalWarming.

Gun violence *is* a public health emergency; and, it should be TREATED like one. (Follow the rest of Cassandra's excellent thread for some sobering examples.)

If your long-term strategy doesn't have a climate lens then your long-term strategy might be for a world that will never exist.

BREAKING: @MunichRe, the world’s biggest reinsurer, has just adopted an oil and gas exit policy. 
Munich Re underwrites 22% of the global economy so this sends a strong message to insurers, energy companies and governments still considering new fossil fuel infrastructure.

No. I mean, I know change is inevitable, and of course I wish every possible blessing, but I really didn’t need this right now. 😥

“America’s individualist bent has also shaped its entire health-care system, which ties health to wealth and employment. That system is organized around treating sick people at great and wasteful expense, instead of preventing communities from falling sick in the first place.”

And this final pandemic piece is a distilled shot of the argument I’ve been brewing for 3 yrs. This has been soul-crushing work. We constantly forfeited the chance to do better. But that chance still exists, and we can’t afford the luxury of nihilism. 6/

Wow. Censored clips from The Power of Big Oil (not censored in EU version). I'd like to hear from about their rationale.

ACTION TODAY: CALL Senator Padilla’s office. SF Office: 415-981-9369: DC Office: 202-224-0454. Tell him to OPPOSE Manchin's dirty deal. Protecting our communities and climate is more important than giving away yet another handout to the fossil fuel industry. #StopTheDirtyDeal
