Passing the #InflationReductionAct and giving a green light to the Mountain Valley Pipeline as Appalachian communities in Eastern Kentucky are still underwater *in this very moment* is everything wrong with the narrative right now. Frontline communities cannot be an afterthought.

[Justin Hicks @Hicks_JustinM]

So glad this beautiful story of resilience got elevated to @NPR national.

Y’all, please help these folks any way possible.

Donate to @appalachianky or @ekymutualaid . They are literally giving that money straight to folks, I’ve seen it personally.

We, the Black Hive - M4BL, a climate & environmental justice intervention & collective of over 200 climate and environmental justice organizations and Black leaders – release the following statement in response to the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act

Not openly acknowledging that with the #IRA comes pipelines is gaslighting. It is erasure of harm done to frontline communities in the name of the “progress” of this bill.

We must be transparent in equally naming what is good and awful about it. There can be multiple truths.

Better climate = better jobs ≠ pipelines #IRA

(s/o @AOC for the shirt and ever-strong merch game)

[Jean Su 蘇安君 @ajeansu]

Shameful that ppl are gaslighting @SenSanders for being the Senate's moral compass. He has been the sole voice to raise legit concerns about the fossil fuel giveaways & community harms in the IRA and sweetheart MVP deal. He's opened an honest conversation and is met w/shutdown.

@KateAronoff This is the vibe today

Think the @nytimes sums up this tension in the irony of the Mountain Valley Pipeline #IRA deal giving miners black lung benefits while ramming through another pipeline 🎯🫣

[Anderson Clayton☀️ @abreezeclayton]

there’s something extremely ironic about these two tweets and the fact they’re both talking about the same bill

[Ashley M 🌅🌬 @appalasha]

@abreezeclayton 👀🫣 jobs! but also! death and destruction!

[Ashley M 🌅🌬 @appalasha]

After years of tireless fighting by activists the Mountain Valley Pipeline was almost dead until Manchin and Schumer made this side deal to get the #IRA passed

“The pipeline deal means Appalachia is again becoming a ‘sacrifice zone’ for the greater good.” https://t.co/6heAyXXMvX

.@SenMarkey tells me: “I'm going to finish this bill, take a nap, and then begin the fight to complete the Green New Deal and create a Civilian Climate Corps.”

[Ashley M 🌅🌬 @appalasha]

@KateAronoff Big mood

[Sumer Shaikh (@sumershaikh.bsky.social) @sumershaikh245]

While the #InflationReductionAct includes crucial climate investments, climate alone does not make a #GreenNewDeal.

Peep the @GND_Network assessment of IRA climate & healthcare investments, omissions (compared to BBBA), and #fossilfuel expenditures.

Still over here thinking about the NC Congressional primaries 💭 looking at you @NCDemParty

Seen a lot of Law & Order, haven't seen a twist as good as "Alex Jones' lawyers accidentally sent Sandy Hook parents' lawyers the entire contents of his phone and his long-hidden financials, but they waited 12 days to let him lie" in my life. Just an absolutely wild day.

There’s a truly special place in hell for Joe Manchin

BREAKING: we, staffers of the US Congress, are peacefully sitting in on Senator Schumer’s office to demand Dems pass climate justice policy this year.

We are putting our bodies on the line because we have no other choice. Follow along for updates from inside!
