It wouldn't be Independence Day without Bill Moyers' recollections of the Freedom of Information Act's inauspicious signing "ceremony" and LBJ's less than gracious observations about the law securing the public's right to know. Happy 4th! Happy FOIA!! https://t.co/ffKn6xQf8a
BREAKING: We just won our David vs. Goliath battle. Big Oil officially withdrew their deceitful initiative!
Our law is safe and will finally take effect. WE JUST PROTECTED CALIFORNIA NEIGHBORHOODS FROM TOXIC OIL DRILLING!

I hope you are doing well and having a great holiday season so far. I am beyond grateful for all of your kind birthday wishes and your generous support for the @janeclimatepac . And a special thanks to @obeygiant for lending his talents to celebrate this milestone in my life.
#cop28 World leaders are celebrating new methane rules to tackle leakage of an exponentially lethal greenhouse gas.
But none of these leaders thus far are willing to tackle the source of methane: the actual gas infrastructure they continue to expand, imperiling the planet.
NEWS #COP28: In a surprising move, the UAE and IEA have made a pretty darn ambitious acknowledgement—That we should phasedown fossil fuels by 2030.
This is a strong signal that we may achieve the first oil and gas phasedown commitment ever in 30 years of climate talks.
Audiences who follow climate news every week are more likely to think people are affected by climate change now

Excited this week to start my new role as Senior Climate Policy Counsel with @Public_Citizen! Great team, lots of urgent work to do - including helping new boss @David_Arkush build out the legal theory to charge fossil fuel companies with climate homicide. https://t.co/RabG3fbWUE
STOP THE DECEPTION: Last night climate activists called out the environmental destruction caused by oil companies like @Chevron and @Shell with this powerful projection onto the side of a hotel in lower Manhattan.
Watch the video and share:
Thank you @CAgovernor@AGRobBonta for providing the climate leadership the world so desperately needs! Historic case from world's 5th largest economy provides major momentum in the race to end deadly fossil fuels & preserve a livable planet.
I joined the inspiring @Janefonda at a rally this evening in NYC outside a Wall Street fundraiser for President Biden. Her simple message: we must put our bodies on the line to save the planet.
"Now is the time for civil disobedience."
🎉When we organize, we win! We’ve FINALLY won a statewide ban on gas hookups in new buildings in NY and #BuildPublicRenewables in the same state budget! These victories belong to the NY grassroots climate movement who worked tirelessly to make this happen! https://t.co/nB0EiiW2hX
