EDWARD NORTON: “I’m sitting here talking about movies while an illegal army is being mounted against 🇺🇸 citizens. These are not normal times… what they’re doing in Minnesota with the strike needs to expand — we should be talking about a national general economic strike.”

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

When Republicans say “deregulation” they mean things like “adding poisons to your food because it’s more profitable for the companies giving them campaign donations.”

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

🚨NEWS: Exxon is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to grant corporations a new First Amendment right to avoid disclosing how much toxic pollution they are spewing and how much they are incinerating the atmosphere that supports all life on the planet.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

Neera Tanden and anyone else at the Center for American Progress who was angling for Summers to write Dems’ 2028 economic platform should be forced to resign from their roles and should never be listened to again. And that shouldn’t be a controversial take.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This appears to be one of the biggest crimes in modern history. For context, if the FTC's investigation is accurate, this single crime costs people at least 10 times the amount of all property crime combined according to the FBI.

[State Rep. Austin Baeth @AustinBaeth]

IA Senate GOP just passed SF2412 giving immunity to pesticide manufacturers if sued for causing cancer. The bill was written by Bayer, maker of Roundup (linked to lymphoma). IA would be the 1st to give immunity to pesticide makers. IA has the nation’s 2nd highest cancer rate.

@KWconditions @CaltransDist10 @KirkwoodMTN @vailmtn @vanwinked the same way highway depts power other freestanding portable signage (solar/battery) @miahpage Appreciate the reco about leaving early, 5 am still not cutting it somehow, despite being at kirkwood well before opening. 2.5 hours to park seems excessive 🤷‍♂️

[sean w @crackin516]

@KWconditions Can you work w/ @CaltransDist10 to put up traffic signage along 89 to communicate full parking + prevent hours long unsafe traffic jams as people wait unknowingly for closed parking? Also glacial parking pace = worse traffic. Status quo isn’t working @KirkwoodMTN @vailmtn

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Almost every major rail company in the United States has had a multi-car derailment in the last week.

At least 157 cars derailed in six train accidents around the country.

This is an urgent wake up call. 🧵

@EPAMichaelRegan Since @EPA is Cleaning up pollution ✔️ when do you take over dioxins testing in OH and PA? @POTUS
“Testing will only be conducted up to two miles from the accident site when ash has been found up to 20 miles away” and “limits testing to soil, but food is the main exposure route.”

[sean w @crackin516]

@GuardianUS @EPAMichaelRegan when does @EPA take over and begin legit dioxin testing?
“Testing will only be conducted up to two miles from the accident site when ash has been found up to 20 miles away” and “the plan also limits testing to soil, but food is the main dioxin exposure route.”

[sean w @crackin516]

So @EPAMichaelRegan “while the @EPA can claim that the [dioxin] levels are “low” from a legal standpoint, [their] own science suggests they are not safe” “[the site] contains dioxin levels 100s of times greater than the exposure threshold above which EPA found poses cancer risks”

[River Valley Organizing @RiverValleyOrg]

NEW: This is why the East Palestine community is demanding independent testing.

We know the that the dangerous chemicals released by Norfolk Southern’s negligence pose a deadly risk to residents in the region.

We need action and leadership NOW. https://t.co/qSq7fTjkhN

[Robert Weissman @Rob_Weissman]

Biden proposes a Pentagon budget of $886 billion.

That's a jump of $28 billion from the current year.

The increase of $28 billion is more than twice the entire EPA budget.

Madness.

@EPAGreatLakes @EPAMichaelRegan When do you start testing for Dioxin? @EPA’s own studies show it is highly toxic and cancerous. cc: @POTUS #dioxin #toxic

@EPAMichaelRegan Please order testing for Dioxin in OH, PA, NY yesterday. @EPA’s own studies show it is highly toxic and cancerous. cc: @POTUS @SenSherrodBrown @SenSchumer @AOC @GovKathyHochul @NYSDEC no time for delay #EastPalestine #dioxin #toxic #cancer #plume
