Last-minute CA ballot advice for procrastinators like me: "no" on Prop 45. More targeted CEQA reform for renewables and housing could be good, but the Chamber of Commerce's shotgun approach will promote sprawl and freeway expansion. Not the way. https://t.co/g2oBvUkTD4
Important story by @LeverNews on a new report by @climatecampaign about how Big Oil lobbied to create huge tax loophole costing #California hundreds of millions per year as state/local wildfire relief + climate funding got slashed https://t.co/LklLlTsbcv
It you live in Los Angeles, shut your windows and turn off your vents to the outside — the air quality is hazardous.
You can visualize air quality in the @MyRadarWX map. The bull’s eye of hazardous air is directly over the nation’s second-largest city.
🤑🛢️CA oil majors @exxonmobil, @chevron, @shell: earning record-breaking profits and benefiting off taxpayer dollars.💸💸💸

Revealed: WSPA helped bury climate science in the ’50s. Funded by Shell, Chevron, Exxon, and SoCalGas, they launched one of the first-ever front groups to mislead the public. Their lies started with LA smog and continue today. #WSPAKnew#MakePollutersPay

🛢️In 1955, Los Angeles oil execs were warned that CO2 could have “considerable significance to civilization.”
Their response?
Delete, deny, destroy.
This is where Big Oil’s climate disinformation began. #WSPAKnew

Big Oil wants to scare you into voting for @realDonaldTrump.
California just passed a bill cracking down on a scheme oil companies use to jack up gas prices before the election.
Don't fall for their dirty lies.
Thank you @Sammy_Roth for highlighting #AB3233.
We need @CAGovernor to sign this important bill, which protects communities from oil & gas pollution.
📢@EPA moves to make Exide a Superfund.
The toxic legacy of Exide lead emissions is staggering : $770 Million trying 2 clean it up. And more required.
We're all paying the price of @CaliforniaDTSC slow, inadequate permitting & enforcement decisions https://t.co/JmG9xSvw6s
Thanks to frontline activists, SB-1137 is now in full effect. This historic legislation is set to dramatically reduce air pollution waged on Black, Brown and low-income communities—and better protect all Californians from harmful chemicals linked to neighborhood drilling.

Our law is safe and will finally take effect. WE JUST PROTECTED CALIFORNIA NEIGHBORHOODS FROM TOXIC OIL DRILLING!

Thank you @sengonzalez33 for your leadership on #SB252! The fight is not over to divest $14 billion from climate-wrecking fossil fuel corporations. We’re proud to work with such a climate leader! @FossilFreeCA@LastChance_CA
“It’s baffling that the state would green light new drilling in California amid repeated oil spills, dangerously high air pollution and intensifying climate disasters,” - @hkretzmann, @CBD_Climate

📢 CA, listen up! Did you know that 90 companies are responsible for ~2/3 of the emissions wrecking our environment, bodies, and future?
That’s why @SenatorMenjivar introduced SB1497 – to make the biggest fossil fuel polluters pay for climate harms they've caused. 🧵
