As climate change worsens, the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund is one of the most effective ways to bring down costs for all of us. That’s why local electeds & disaster survivors made this video urging CA legislators to @makepolluterspay.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2g6...

San Franciscans, join the National Day of Action for science at Civic Center. Gathering and tabling at 12, rally at 1-3 PM. After this destruction at the EPA, not to mention attacks on our climate and medical workers at all levels, it’s time to shout loud for science! standupforscience.net/march7

An emerging industry playbook: Deploy AI to flood regulators with comments. In SoCal, 20k+ AI-generated emails helped kill @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social clean air rules. We need stronger protections so officials can distinguish public input from manufactured opposition. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Big Oil spent $34 million in 2025 pushing dangerous laws like SB 237 and stonewalling critical policies like Climate Superfund. Why? To keep profiting off their pollution. California needs climate leadership in Sacramento, not more corporate power lastchancealliance.org/big-oil-spen...

CA Attorney General Rob Bonta is suing the Trump administration for its illegal attempt to bypass state safety laws & force the restart. We aren’t just fighting a pipeline; we’re fighting to keep our coasts safe from Big Oil’s greed & federal overreach. keyt.com/news/califor...

Our public lands and public health are under attack. Elected officials, we need you to help stand up to the Trump administration. Reject drilling on public land now. calmatters.org/commentary/2...

Happening now! LA County is suing oil companies for hazardous idle wells. This is a big step forward in seeking accountability from oil companies who deny and delay their way out of accountability for the public health damages they cause laist.com/news/climate...

Communities rebuilding from the LA wildfires a chance to rebuild safer & cleaner—all-electric. But the @californiapuc.bsky.social is actively undermining that opportunity by allowing SoCalGas to use ratepayer funds to push gas. It's time to close this loophole. insideclimatenews.org/news/0312202...

As Feleecia Guillen from @ips-dc.org New Mexico told CapRadio, she didn’t know much about Newsom until he took the national stage to stand up to Trump—and as a younger voter, she hopes he’ll show the same courage against Big Oil.

#SB787 is an opportunity for CA to continue to lead in environmental policy while delivering high quality jobs – it’s now up to @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to sign into law!

Big Oil spent nearly half a BILLION dollars in last year’s election cycle. Now, they’re coming to collect — and they’re getting a big return on investment. Watch. youtu.be/aDQXiNlM5iM?...

🚨1/3 of leaking oil wells in CA get a free pass to keep polluting, all thanks to loopholes in state laws. Meanwhile.. ⬇️ Gas demand is dropping 🔋 CA's clean energy jobs outnumber fossil fuel jobs 7:1 It’s time for a real, enforceable plan to move off toxic oil & protect our communities.

🚨 Just launched: the #MethaneRiskMap from PSEHealthyEnergy. Modeling over 1,300 methane emissions events, it shows that almost all of them released hazardous air pollutants like benzene, at levels that pose risks to public health. app.sosha.ai/s/ULdgBnJP

California’s climate leadership is slipping. @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social is considering more oil drilling while backpedaling on climate laws. We’re in a climate emergency. We need bold action — not loopholes, rollbacks, or excuses. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

NEW: California just launched a tool to rate extreme heat risk by ZIP code — and help people find cooling centers. Extreme heat is the #1 weather-related killer in the U.S. Check your neighborhood and stay safe this summer: calheatscore.org laist.com/news/climate...

Kern County is responsible for an enormous 70-80% of California’s oil and gas production. However, Kern’s image as an oil county is quickly changing… (🧵) #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving #ProtectOurCommunities

‼️BREAKING: A CA Superior Court Judge signaled an intent to grant an injunction forcing Sable to cease work in its pipeline restart. While @governor.ca.gov talks tough on Big Oil, he’s done NOTHING to shut down the pipeline and fight Trump’s fossil fuel agenda.

In a win for climate + CA communities, a judge ordered the Sable pipeline company to stop its work to revive a dangerous offshore drilling project, responsible for a huge 2015 oil spill near Santa Barbara. People spoke out against Sable. Courts acted. But @cagov.bsky.social Newsom? Still silent.

COVER STORY: Offshore oil drilling resumes off Santa Barbara — 10 years after the Refugio spill.
