We also take action today to name the connection between MVP & the genocide unfolding in Gaza.

MVP would supply gas to the Pentagon and the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, which is operated by BAE Systems - a corporation that supplies Israel with white phosphorus & other weapons.

BREAKING.

Mass direct actions are shutting down construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline at two locations. People have swarmed both sites, and a total of four people have locked-down to construction equipment. #NoMVP

Good thread illustrating the fallacy of "we shouldn't upzone because it will raise land values."

If a place with low-density zoning is in demand, land values rise anyway AND only the priciest kind of home is allowed.

Modest old homes get renovated or replaced by mansions.

Human rights are central to every fight for justice and liberation. Our hearts break for those impacted by the tragic and horrific events in Israel and Gaza.

We condemn the world leaders supporting this escalation of violence, and call for an immediate #ceasefire.

A severe marine heatwave has emerged off the coast of Florida as water temperatures have soared into the 90s.

Multiple buoys in Everglades National Park are reporting water temperatures as high as 95°F (35°C).

Rather than being "terrified" by this expected consequence of human-caused warming, we should be motivated to act--in particular, holding politicians accountable at the ballot box. Only when we bring carbon emissions to zero does the warming stop:

Breaking: a HUGE win for climate justice 🎉 Today, the bipartisan Climate Resilience Package, which includes Community Resilience Hubs, passed the Oregon Senate Floor! #climateaction #orpol #orleg

[Brad-Reed @ bsky @Brad_Reed_Ore]

"six Republican and Indep. members decided to informally create the committee"
"those who attended spent the meeting chastising the state lawmakers for refusing to show up to work over the past five weeks and demanding they end the Senate walkout." #ORleg https://t.co/NE8HWBiZNa

[Building Resilience @BuildResilient_]

🚨 Record-breaking heat in the forecast already? Yet another reminder that the #ClimateCrisis is here and #OregonCantWait to protect families. That starts with #orleg investing in the Resilient, Efficient Buildings package. #orpol https://t.co/YcMZfWWcuZ

Less than a week until #ElectionDay, Oregon! Lots of important local races that shape our communities. Vote!
For no particular reason, I'm gonna share this throwback to our last election: 34 out of 36 counties voted to pass Measure 113, opposing walkouts. #ORleg #OregonCantWait

“[T]he Court has begun to implement the policy preferences of its conservative majority in a new and troubling way: by simultaneously stripping power from every political entity except the Supreme Court itself.”
