The #BPOilDisaster cannot be viewed in a vacuum. It's part of a litany of stresses that Grand Bayou has survived for decades. Yet, the Atakapa-Ishak Chawasha people who live there are staying rooted. Read their story: https://t.co/mDe10bqEgT
Tomorrow is the 10-year anniversary of the #BPOilDisaster. Follow us over the next 87 days to remember that harrowing experience. “Those who do not learn #history are doomed to repeat it.” (And #AlabamaPower just might. #coalash )
6️⃣The #BPOilDisaster contaminated an area the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. It's projected that nearly 100% of leaked methane gas could have stayed within the deep ocean.

4️⃣The #BPOilDisaster killed up to 166,000 small juvenile sea turtles. Turtles in the northern Gulf of Mexico also suffered from exhaustion, dehydration, and overheating.
@LianaLisa @HighTechAztec @AnotherGulf_ @BridgeTheGulf @mathsavage @CherriFoytlin1 Didn't know similar situation with #BPOilDisaster.
We will likely see articles about frontline workers getting fired, and that will raise awareness. It's not enough to document this stuff, though. We need to take action and drive change.
Hoping for some power retweets. 😀
The same thing happened with the #BPOilDisaster. Anyone wrking the #VOO jobs (#shimpers) photographed w/ #PPE #masks while "cleaning" up the #oil from the #Gulf was NOT PAID and was no longer eligible. @HighTechAztec @AnotherGulf_ @BridgeTheGulf @mathsavage @CherriFoytlin1
I don't understand how healthcare workers...and delivery workers... and grocery store workers... and others on the frontline... could be fired for wanting to protect themselves.
They are literally risking their lives for the rest of us.
