[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Catholic Church has consistently taught that each human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and deserves to be protected. Indeed, the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right. For this reason, only when a society safeguards the sanctity of human life will it flourish and prosper.

In lieu of making a decision, we’re going to develop a decision-making framework. And that will be an iterative process.

I hate it here. This is the stupidest project that should have died decades ago. Invest in resilient communities. Don’t build over them.

The Turnpike Commission said the next phase of the project will be about five years of construction. https://t.co/WVrsi4v4Bm

@WPXI This is not something to laud. This is a disgrace. The politicians should have given up on this useless, antiquated highway decades ago. We should be investing that oil and gas money into revitalizing communities that have been destroyed by industry instead of building over them.

Yesterday @SecGranholm announced 7 billion for hydrogen hubs across the US at the #GCEAF while I stood alongside impacted folks and spoke to the need for a just transition to renewable energy for frontline workers and communities. End #FossilFuelTyranny.

Casually spent the night drinking around a fire with a guy named Optimus Prime and the first person to circumnavigate the world via rowboat (who also holds 17 world records). Only normal things here.

Allegheny County exec Rich Fitzgerald said today not all fracking companies are bad environmental actors. "These companies all get painted with broad brush, if we did that around things like gender or ethnicity or sexual orientation or race, that's not the way we do things."
