School strike week 100!
100 weeks ago I never would have believed that I’d still be doing this today...
Since then, a lot has happened. Many millions have taken to the streets to continue the decades-long and never-ending fight for climate- and environmental justice. 1/4
A huge victory for the Standing Rock Sioux! Federal judge rules that Dakota Access Pipeline must be SHUT DOWN and emptied while a new environmental review is completed! #NoDAPL#WaterProtectors

Wow. New York's @NYSDEC just rejected Williams Companies water quality application for the #NESE pipeline. Proof that states DO indeed have the power to reject unwanted FERC-approved gas pipelines - which @MassGovernor has denied for years. @FRRACS_MA https://t.co/0J50quWx6K
"If [@NYGovCuomo] really wants to be a leader during a crisis while reaching the goals of his own climate law, he’ll stop with the austerity politics..and...institute a green recovery, which must include banning all new fossil fuel infrastructure across the state for good."
This is big: a federal judge just said that the blanket approvals the Army Corps has been giving to new pipelines are illegal. That’s going to throw a lot of projects into legal jeopardy. https://t.co/f8bvcsL1pc
French president Emmanuel Macron on how #COVID19#coronavirus may lead to action on #ClimateCrisis: "“When we get out of this crisis people will no longer accept breathing dirty air."

A warmer planet means more potential for death and illnesses
It means lower air quality, especially in densely populated areas.
Mosquitoes, ticks, and other carriers of infectious diseases can cover a wider geographic range and for more of the year. https://t.co/K28TLwwd3Q
“This is an industry that has always been filled with promoters and stock scams and swindlers and people have made billions when investors have lost their shirts.”
In a bonus episode of #Boomtown, we speak to @bethanymac12 about the fracking industry. https://t.co/sSmXUM3ANu
"We are here in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en land defenders, the hereditary chiefs that oppose the #pipeline." https://t.co/7SIsHPajEB @PeopleNotPipes
We're told that, after coming back from the dead in 2019, the fracked-gas Constitution Pipeline project in PA and NY is finally truly dead. Goodbye, @WilliamsUpdates! No more #zombiepipelines https://t.co/J2Vmpz1h0i via @StopThePipeline
#AskBloomberg why he's calling himself a climate hero while he opposes a ban on fracking...
We can't waste our time with a candidate who refuses to take on fossil fuels — let alone one who is trying to buy the election.
