What’s happening in #DeerParkTX right now is devastating but unfortunately predictable. Another uncontrollable fire at a #petrochemical plant is putting families and children in harms way. This has to stop! 👧🏽🧒🏾👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 #beyondpetrochemicals @BloombergDotOrg

Justice Kagan, in dissent:
"The Court appoints itself—instead of Congress or the expert agency—the decisionmaker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening."

Decades of scientific research show that exposure to organophosphates can lead to reduced IQ, loss of working memory, and attention deficit disorders in children. https://t.co/yj3s6I0vdR

Waking up in #PostRoe America and thinking of our young women and girls for whom finding safe abortion care will be so much harder to find and afford.
Please let the young people in your lives know that you will help if they or their friends ever need it. @PPFA @WholeWomans

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Breyer/Sotomayor/Kagan: "With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent." From Roe ... to Sorrow. It truly is sad.

If you are worried about the #climatecrisis, then you need to READ THIS from @Earthjustice. We’re about to lose a whole lot more than our reproductive rights this June c/o #SCOTUS —>

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

We can’t stay silent as #SCOTUS works to dismantle critical environmental protections. Our SVP of Programs @sambhavsankar explains in @nytimes how the court is tying the hands of the government to fight the #climatecrisis and protect public health. https://t.co/7JmTiqaNW7

[Jan Hasselman @JanHasselman]

The US political system is too broken to pass climate legislation, and the Supreme Court is poised to hamstring executive agencies from taking action on their own - using a stone-cold imaginary legal doctrine. Important oped in today’s NYT.

[Heather McTeer Toney #PeopleOverPollution♻️ @HeatherMcTeer]

Such an honor to share my #briefbutspectacular on centering Black leadership in #climatesolutions! #climatechange is the social Justice issue of our time and it will take ALL of us to solve it. Thank you @NewsHour!

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

The right-wing scheme to control our courts just scored a big win in the 5th Circuit – a win that threatens a huge array of protections for Americans’ health, safety, and environment. Here’s how -> THREAD

[Fern Shepard @fern_shepard]

Tom Perez and Shannon Sneed are the experienced leaders we need in Maryland. Great to hear about their commitment to competency and opportunity!

Wow. Thank you, Montgomery County!

Shannon and I loved being back with #TeamPerezSneed members

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

NEW POLL w/ @ClimatePower: In light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, voters support the government investing in domestic clean energy production by a +46-point margin.

This includes Independents by a +41-point margin and Republicans by a +14-point margin. https://t.co/wHAez3iMfG

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

Building a clean energy future means Americans won’t have to worry about wild swings in gasoline prices, or fossil fuels being used as leverage in international conflicts. And it is essential to tackle the climate crisis. https://t.co/JuOwuVR6Pu

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

Better energy security means long-term investments in renewable energy at home that lowers costs, creates jobs, and protects us from climate disaster. It’s time for us to accelerate the clean energy transition and end our reliance on fossil fuels. https://t.co/1bU7vLViFK
