The same Supreme Court that overturned Roe now refuses to follow the plain language of the law on student loan cancellation. This fight is not over. The President has more tools to cancel student debt — and he must use them.

Did you know? Upgrading to all-electric appliances helps the average American household save $1,800 a year on energy bills.

Hear from Rewiring America CEO Ari Matusiak and @JoinRayven on the benefits of going electric: https://t.co/juUsoyhS1S

@rewiringamerica @grist Our house has had a heat pump since 1978. In 2015 we bought a 100% electric Nissan LEAF. With the tax rebate we got from the LEAF we bought 12 solar panels, which provide 40% of electricity for our all-electric house. There are no gas lines in our neighborhood. Go Electric!

Building #peace means initiating and sustaining processes of development to eliminate poverty, to defeat hunger, to guarantee health and care, to safeguard the common home, to promote fundamental rights and to overcome discrimination determined by human mobility.

[Papa Francisco – ARCHIVO @Pontifex266_es]

La #familia es el principal antídoto contra la pobreza, material y espiritual, y también contra el problema del invierno demográfico. Es necesario que en todos los países se promuevan políticas sociales, económicas y culturales “amigas de la familia” y de la acogida de la vida.

@Unpop_Science @seaspiracy Fish farms need to raise fish that are vegan, like tilapia. That would eliminate the need to harvest small fish from the seas.

@Earthjustice Same goes for school buses. Now if we can just get the mid-level managers (Postmaster General DeJoy) to agree, these systems should soon be 100% electric.

@SenatorBennet Well it ain't too surprising coming from an ex-football coach who's just a few yards shy of a first down.

@brotherjones_ And remember: The 2nd Amendment doesn't give anyone the right to own a gun. The 2nd Amdt mearly gives the Federal gov't the authority to deputize citizens to use their own firearms to defend America in ad hoc militias. It was used up until the Civil War, always to form militias.

@SecGranholm In 2016 I used the $7200 rebate from my Nissan Leaf to fully pay for the 12 solar panels on my townhouse. Us middle class folk need that rebate to go greener but the IRA takes it away from most cars. Terrible!

[Mark Sajbel @marksajbel]

@SecGranholm @ENERGY @MrGerrenalist @theGrio Secretary Granholm, MOST new EV's don't qualify for the $7500 federal rebate. None of the Kia's and few VW's do and not even the fabulous Nissan Ariya. When I bought my Nissan LEAF in 2015 all EV'S qualified. Let's amend the IRA and give all new EV's the federal rebate as before.

@MarkWarner Worst of all, the Republicans' bill would cut funding for measures to reverse the climate crisis. Let's not forget that the Republicans' election campaigns are funded by the fossil fuel industry.

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

BREAKING: @GovKathyHochul has reached an agreement with the NY legislature to ban fossil fuels in all new buildings throughout the state in a deal that would be the first of its kind in the US. This is a major victory for a better, gas-free future in NY.

[Mark Sajbel @marksajbel]

@SenSchumer What bill R U talking about, Sen Schumer?

[Mark Sajbel @marksajbel]

@billmckibben @leahstokes "Fossil gas" is the best name we can give that toxic substance. Definitely drop the "natural".

@brotherjones_ "Prophets" don't necessarily predict the future; rather, they tell it like it is. In this vein, Bob Dylan's a perfect example of a prophet.

[Mark Sajbel @marksajbel]

@brotherjones_ The more the Tennessee legislature tries to suppress prophets and preachers like you, the more brilliantly your star will shine.

@CaptPaulWatson I love your posts, Captain Watson: simple, to the point, profound.
