Former EPA climate advisor Jeremy Symons, now a senior advisor for Environmental Protection Network of former EPA officials, said: “Ignoring fossil fuel pollution as the driving force behind the climate changes we have seen in our lifetime is like pretending cigarettes don’t cause lung cancer.”

For my EPA and related friends, the Environmental Protection Network (EPN) has resources for federal employees who have been caught in the administration hatchet job. Please share this widely! www.environmentalprotectionnetwork.org/job-resources/

@IcelandicGlacial …glacial water from Iceland, where are the glaciers are melting because of things like shipping water in plastic bottles around the world…

#PlayMakersTheatre has done a really fun stage production of Frank Capra‘s great 1936 movie “You can’t take it with you!” I recommend you check it out! 🤗

The regime is doing all it can to kill renewable energy. It is deeply in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry. To all our detriment.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The Sierra Club is always evolving, but our mission stays constant: ensure everyone in this country has access to clean air, clean water, affordable clean energy, and public lands. We’re focused on the work ahead. Onwards, together.

This weekend, the New York Times ran a story claiming Sierra Club’s values have diluted our mission. They couldn’t be more wrong. The list of their errors is too long for one social post, but we go over some examples in these slides.

at a fundraiser for Anita Earls, and we MUST reelect her in 2026 —for voting rights, for the environment, for education…She is there for US! not corporations, the rich and science deniers!!

i’m at Seymour center heading out leaflets for Louie Rivers for town council. Lucy is for Louie and reminding everybody to vote vote vote!

Did y’all know that Spotify is running ads recruiting for ICE??

SNAP is expiring because Republicans DON’T care about ALL of us!! You can help in the western Triangle by donating to PORCH or TABLE or Triangle Mutual Aid or other places that feed folks!!! WE need to show R’s what taking caring for People looks like!!

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

in the NCGA, where the Republicans state clearly that their purpose for today’s refined gerrymandering is partisan ONLY, meant to deliver another Republican to Congress for Trump. We are a 50/50 state, and the Republicans are STEALING Democrats representation. R’s can’t win without CHEATING!!

Come pack the NC General Assembly Senate Gallery to show we will not tolerate Republicans stealing another seat through gerrymandering. It's supposed to be REPRESENTIONAL Democracy, i.e. we are appropriately REPRESENTED in proportion to our numbers!! Be in the Senate Gallery by 2:30!

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country." Really? Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.

Hey y’all! Learn more about how town councils work at this!

if you have not been to see radical clay at the Ackland,GO!!! It’s there through August 31

I read this in an Agatha Christie today, and immediately thought Prez DJT and Elon.

new Substack article!! open.substack.com/pub/mmccullo...

I’ve met with working people across this country, and everyone, everywhere thinks we should be protecting Social Security. DOGE’s misinformation, cuts, and data takeovers are putting working families at risk.

Republicans want us to have NO choice but companies like this for our health insurance!!

Another great Pride Promenade in Chapel Hill! Our own Council’s Karen Stegman reminded us that Hope and Joy will win over Hate and Greed, and we must be Visible to resist!

The Congressional Budget Office said the sweeping Republican bill to cut taxes and slash federal programs would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. Fewer services for the American people, but yet more debt.

The Trump Administration is killing investments in U.S. competitiveness, good jobs & cleaner air to support tax cuts & line the pockets of billionaires.

as a federal employee for 32 years, I had to take ethics training every year and report all my holdings. We are paying this batch of “ leaders” to do a job, while they’re all about accumulating 💰💰💰💰💰💰

If you want to reduce your energy usage (and utility bills), that could get much harder if the Trump administration scraps this widely used program.

More than 20 years ago, North Carolina legislators passed a law requiring that landslide hazards be mapped across 19 mountain counties. But after only four of those countries were mapped, lawmakers gave in to developers who said it could harm property values.

i have my t-shirt and i’ll be hitting the one in RI where I’m traveling.

Mulling over the mental gymnastics required to argue: 1) universities teach nothing 2) professors are radicalized left-wing lunatics AND 3) it’s a national security risk that international students come to US universities to “steal technical knowledge” and “expensive research and development”

Tuesday! A fun event at Lapin Bleu in Chapel Hill for a great cause: the welfare of KIDS!!

Actually, Melissa has several exquisite pieces in this year’s independent animal rescue auction. Go ahead and that was just register so you don’t miss a thing!
