gork is this real

Current scene in LA.

Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace and our bodies.

We MUST address this!

"You shouldn't be within a thousand miles of the directorship of the IRS" -- Elizabeth Warren grilled IRS commissioner nominee Billy Long so hard that he was left stammering and shaking by the end of her questioning

Over 200 advocates gathered at the NY Capitol in support of PRRIA and the Bigger Better Bottle Bill. Thank you to all of the legislators who are choosing to listen to their constituents and not special interests. @leaderasc.bsky.social @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @senatorharckham.bsky.social

Cheryl Nechamen calls on @angelosantabarbara.bsky.social to cosponsor PRRIA, “Enacting [PRRIA] would reduce waste, increase recycling rates, reduce toxicity in products, and provide millions of dollars in savings for local governments and taxpayers, and lower greenhouse gas emissions”.

Rockland, Westchester, and 6 other Hudson Valley counties are projected to save over $100 million in NY passes PRRIA. Savings would come from reducing the amount of plastic waste being transported and disposed. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social @senatorharckham.bsky.social

Plastics pollution is poisoning our air, water, and bodies — and New Yorkers are paying the price, while corporations pollute for free. That's why our @vfajans joined @SenatorHarckham.bsky.social and Judith Enck of @beyondplastics.bsky.social today in Albany to push for change.

Last year the American Chemistry Council spent $930,000 lobbying against PRRIA and is on track to spend the same amount this year. Let’s keep special interests out of our grocery aisle and pass PRRIA. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social

We're in Albany today with a big group of advocates who want to put people and planet over plastic in NY state. We're rallying in support of the essential Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act + Bigger Better Bottle Bill this session! @surewecannyc.bsky.social @nypirg.bsky.social

Back in Albany to put #PeekskillOverPlastic with Beyond Plastics Let's get the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA) and Bigger Better Bottle Bill (BBBB) passed! Saving tax payer dollars, saving the planet & protecting public health #PeopleOverPlastic

Huge thanks to everyone who showed up and showed out today! The energy was electric, and big love to our NJ neighbors for turning up in force. Extra surprise: Captain America leading chants? 🔥 This is what democracy looks like. #NY17 #Rockland #Bergen

Pretty sure it’s in the Constitution that if Captain America shows up and starts chanting, you have to join in. 💪🛡️ “This is what democracy looks like!” Thanks to everyone who turned out, Marvel couldn’t have scripted it better. #NY17 #Rockland #Bergen

Excited to join local @beyondplastics.bsky.social affiliates from across the country in NYC to put #PeopleOverPlastic!!!

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

For an ongoing reporting project: If you work at a university and your research is threatened by federal funding pauses, cuts, or investigations, please get in touch, my DMs are open and my Signal handle is in my bio.

Love this protest sign! 🔥

Way to turn out #Westchester #MtKisco #CD17 Message to Trump, Elon, and Lyin' Mike Lawler! #HandsOff

This is what kleptocracy looks like. Throw everything into chaos, tank the markets, give all the government contracts to the oligarchs, bankrupt the citizenry, privatize everything, concentrate all the wealth. #HandsOff #Kleptocracy #MtKisco

TODAY! Town Hall with Lt Governor Antonio Delgado 3/30 2 – 4pm EDT Rockland Community College Theatre 145 College Rd Suffern, NY www.mobilize.us/indivisibler... #LeadersWhoListen #TownHall #Rockland

“Executives' attempts to pacify Trump have backfired spectacularly. Their dreams of deregulation and a business boom have quickly faded… While we are taught as children to stand up to bullies, their actions have only emboldened Trump's quest for greater power…” www.status.news/p/trump-medi...

Today at the Tesla takedown rally in Mount Kisco, New York.

Lawler is not a moderate. It’s a myth that he is desperate to keep alive.

Great to see. Stay loud!!

Today's Tesla TakeDown Rally in Mt Kisco, NY

100+ at #teslatakedown in White Plains, NY @indiviswestchester.bsky.social

The irony. I'm sure having them there was great for business!

They are vastly outnumbered, both sides of the street. Good crowd marshal work, music, energy.

When the Elon fanboys do the job for you! Because what's really the problem with America are face masks and drag queens. #TselaTakedown

More than 400 people in Mt Kisco today to say... "Elon Musk and Mike Lawler have got to go!" @teslatakedown.com @indivisrockland.bsky.social @peekskillprogs.bsky.social @indiviswestchester.bsky.social

More photos from Mt Kisco, NY #TeslaTakeDown today. yes there were counterprotestors there today.

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing. Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases. No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

Great turnout at #teslatakedown in Mt.Kisco, NY. Thanks to all who turned out!! 👏🙌🏼

If you work full time, you should be paid enough to live a decent life. Doesn't matter what the job is.

Inspired by the packed theater PLUS 200-300 person overflow crowd that showed up in Peekskill today for a town hall in MAGA Mike Lawler’s absence! 💪 @fightlawler.bsky.social, @nwindivisible.bsky.social @indivisrockland.bsky.social & others did a great job! 🙌 #LyingLawler #HidingMike

An NPR investigation uncovered 40,000 vets facing foreclosure due to a VA mistake. A rescue program is helping many of them, but others fear being left out if Congress cuts this new lifeline.

MARCH 31: Join a Transgender Day of Visibility rally on the National Mall and show we're not giving up in the fight for trans rights.

It's total BS. #LyinLawler says he's upset about it, but he votes for these cuts every single time! Coward!

Boo #MAGAMike! #LyingLawler #NY17 #Westchester keep showing up & follow @fightlawler.bsky.social for updates on future rallies and other actions!✊ #NY we can’t let him be our next Governor! 🤮

Packed house at the #Peekskill Dramatic Hall as CD17 voters show up for the Town Hall. Unfortunately MikeLawler didn't have the guts to do the same!! #MikeLawler #LieingLawler #FightLawler @maddow.msnbc.com @maddowblog.msnbc.com

Mike Lawler was a no show at the #FightLawler Town Hall in #Peekskill. But his constituents turned out in such numbers that there's now an impromptu rally across the street!!
