@ciel_tweets Quadrupling toxic ammonia in a climate crisis? Polluters doubling down instead of transitioning. Phase it down, fund local food systems NOW.

[Arthur Jelani @nature_kendi]

@ciel_tweets This is very concerning for nature and communities. We need a faster transition to clean energy and more sustainable local food systems.

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

Almost all ammonia, key to making fertilizers, is made from fossil fuels. Now, industry plans to quadruple US its production.
But ammonia is highly toxic for nature & communities.
We must phase-down ammonia + scale fossil-free energy & local food systems.

A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying.

The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds.

Just resting.

Not sleeping.

When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly,
“Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.”

A few people chuckled.

She laughed too.

But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been:
holding the baby,
packing snacks,
cleaning spills,
walking him down the aisle,
missing her own meal trying to calm him down…

while the husband watched a movie with headphones on.

And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted.

Not because they’re doing everything alone.

But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”

📢 States: this is your moment of truth.

The @CIJ_ICJ clarified your legal obligations. The #UNGA resolution is a call to translate that clarity into action: align with international law, phase out fossil fuels, and deliver climate finance.

👀Will you support & co-sponsor?👀

[Kumi Naidoo @kuminaidoo]

On this Earth Day, I’m reminded that hope is not something we wait for—it is something we build.

Our power lies in people. Our planet depends on it.

Every voice, every action, every movement matters. The small acts, the bold stands, the quiet persistence, all add up.

With the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, Colombia, just days away—the first global convening dedicated to advancing a just, orderly, and equitable transition away from fossil fuels—we are standing at a critical moment.

The question is not whether change is possible.
The question is whether we will rise together to make it inevitable.

Because protecting our planet is not someone else’s responsibility. It is all of ours. And together, we are stronger than we think.

There's a lot of work ahead to stop fossil-fueled politics, hold those responsible accountable, ensure human-rights approaches in policies, and set the world on a path to a just transition.

But as @ddrfuture says, this victory bends the arc of justice just a bit more.
