Very important reporting by my colleague @RichardAWebster with @propublica and @veritenewsnola about the failure of medical care at Angola Penitentiary and it’s impacts on the most vulnerable people.

[Richard A. Webster @RichardAWebster]

1 — Kentrell Parker is among the most frail inmates in Louisiana’s prison system. As a quadriplegic, he is confined to the medical ward at Angola prison, where the health care was ruled by a federal judge to be “abhorrent cruel and unusual punishment.” https://t.co/b6QU0y4hXI

Landry parole board member Prator complained about shorter sentences leading to the sheriffs' loss of "good prisoners"

"They are releasing some good ones that we use every day to wash cars, to change the oil in our cars, to cook in the kitchen." #lalege

This year will be hot. Very hot. So hot that some experts are already predicting it may beat 2023 as the hottest year in recorded history.

As we wait for new text at #COP28, here's a new one from me: I caught up with Canadian oil sands executives who came to Dubai. For them, it's like an industry convention. And they think it's going great: https://t.co/3P1H34MQtF

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

There are 2,456 fossil fuel lobbyists at this year's UN climate conference

That's 4x more fossil fuel lobbyists than last year's COP, which had the most ever

It means that about 1 in 30 attendees is a fossil fuel lobbyist

The naphtha leak that led to an explosion at Marathon's Garyville refinery began 15 hours before an evacuation was called. @SaraSneath reports for @DeSmog https://t.co/3UxM5ZfQ7S

[Halle Parker @_thehalparker]

The EPA and LDEQ spent months negotiating an agreement before the feds abruptly ended its civil rights investigation into Louisiana's chemical corridor.

We got our hands on the last version before it fell apart. Guess what? It would've made things better.

The Marathon Refinery fire illustrates how industry goes quiet during a crisis, much to the detriment of worried neighbors. From @SaraSneath & @jsdart for @DeSmog https://t.co/fDhVhhYck8

[Grey Moran @greylmoran]

New: LA Attorney General Jeff Landry hired lawyers to represent the state in an EPA civil rights investigation into the state's petrochemical permitting.

The lawyers were also representing Formosa as the petrochemical giant seeks permits in Louisiana.

@vm_onofre @karenkho @columbiajourn Hi Vincent! I’m about to graduate j-school… and I’m located in Jersey. I’m happy to come pick it up if you still have it available! Thanks you :)

My daughter Ella died b’cos of air pollution. Ali could be its next victim. We are fundraising to save his life, after his leukaemia relapsed. Ali bravely exposed the deadly impact of BP's toxic pollution on his community in Iraq, now he needs our help. https://t.co/rZZzYYnUmV

[Lue Palmer @LuePalmerWriter]

@EllaRobertaFdn Hi @EllaRobertaFdn I hope you’re well. I’m writing about air pollution in New York, and children of color with asthma. I’m trying to understand why it’s hard to identify pollution as a COD and how to link it as a cause. Would you be willing to talk to me? Wishing you well always.
