Drupp nails it.

After 3 strikes revealing Eversource's advocacy against electrification & for MORE methane gas, dozens of NGO's from MA & CT wrote a letter asking them to truly work for a clean energy future. There are a number of steps to take, and we will help to stop their #committed2carbon

[David Abel @davabel]

Eversource, one of the region's largest utilities, must put a moratorium on new gas projects, a group of environmental advocates say in an open letter to the company, which the Globe recently reported was participating in a group fighting efforts to reduce fossil fuels. #mapoli

"It will be "impossible" to halve U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 "without rapid decarbonization of the building sector," @ToSaveEnergy. Thank you, @POTUS, for rolling out important first steps to address pollution from fossil fuel use in buildings.

Can't be better news on a Friday afternoon for the residents of Springfield, MA! A hard won victory for frontline leaders! #notoxicbiomass #BakerNoBiomass

[David Abel @davabel]

Big news for #biomass opponents in Massachusetts: @MassDEP just revoked a permit for a developer to build a highly controversial wood for energy plant in #Springfield, the asthma capital of the nation. #mapoli

We agree with @Staci__Rubin who said “I’m hoping the final plan reflects the ability for high-functioning and frequent public transit to get people out of cars and on trains and buses.” Thank you @Staci__Rubin and @CLF for your vision and partnership. Status quo doesn't cut it

Remember everyone. Kap kneeling is disrespectful to the country and not the right way to protest but storming the White House is perfectly fine. #terrorists

[Jawn Gonzalez @JohnGonzalez]

Tell us more about how kneeling during the anthem disrespects America

[Lawrence Glickman @LarryGlickman]

Immediately after the rioters are removed, Congress must:
1. Certify the election.
2. Impeach and remove Trump.
3. Censure the elected officials who abetted this violent coup attempt.

[Matthew Sitman @MatthewSitman]

If you voted for Trump, this is precisely what you were voting for. You might have been too dense or self-involved to realize that, but it's true.

Spraying millions of acres with cancer causing forever chemicals is a public health win? #whobenefits #mapoli @EPA

[Massachusetts Sierra Club @MassSierraClub]

#PFAS is the most serious class of #ToxicChemicals that we are currently facing as a nation, yet it is barely regulated. Put people first when it comes to #petrochemicals. @EPA @NIH @CDCgov #pesticides

[Jarjoh 🟥🚰🌇 @jarjoh]

.@Steph_Pollack your plans to cut the T will actively depress ridership. Unless you can honestly say that you envision the T to have higher ridership in 5 years (& you have a real plan), you are embarking on a campaign to put the #MBTA into permanent decline. A death spiral.

[debpasternak @debpasternak]

Seriously, why is Baker, who is not taking basic public (even trump admin recs) health protection action, still so popular?

[Quentin Palfrey @qpalfrey]

#mapoli, I know I'm a broken record at this point, but for the life of me I can't figure out why there's not more pressure on @MassGovernor @CharlieBakerMA to do even the most basic things that public health officials (even in the Trump admin!) recommend.

American taxpayers spend $107,575,000,000 more on police than public housing.

Pass it on.
