They knew for decades that they were permanently damaging the planet. Our planet. Unconscionable.

Not only is methane a highly potent GHG dramatically accelerating planetary warming, it also mixes with other gasses and causes asthma in kids and premature deaths. It makes people and the planet sick.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz can stay mad – we’ll stay busy protecting access to affordable health care in court.

When you have no clean air to breath, nothing else really matters. Smoke storms and high AQI days creat traumatic memories and lasting negative health consequences. Sending out love and prayers to all the babies, elders, parents, and really everyone in the path of this climate crisis.

Good God almighty

We’re suing to *protect* the Affordable Care Act – unlike RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz, who are attempting to systematically dismantle it. Our “industrial-scale litigation” is working, and we’ll keep fighting in court to protect affordable health care for millions of Americans.

We're truly through the looking glass if RFK Jr and Mehmet Oz are claiming they're defending ObamaCare and @democracyforward.org is wrong. (That in 2025, they "filed more than 150 lawsuits, took more than 400 legal actions against the Trump administration" is a plus.) 1/2 www.wsj.com/opinion/were...

Leaders take us places we wouldn’t go ourselves. Five years ago @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined us as CEO and we’ve grown from a team of 17 to an unstoppable team of 200. Congrats to Skye for five years of building! As she would say, now we’re on to the next.

Had fun reporting on this guy who DIYed his car so he hardly ever has to buy gas anymore. www.kuow.org/stories/this...

The lack of overnight relief is really worrying How much suffering is enough for us to stop burning fossil fuels www.npr.org/2026/07/02/n...

BREAKING: New reporting from the @theatlantic.com highlighting documents the @democracyforward.org team received in our FOIA litigation — another signal gate. This one perhaps worse than the last. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Also, heatwaves will not stop at some max arbitrary temperature threshold. We will see extremes rise - what happens when these events are 125F/51C in locations with little to no cooling infrastructure? Or when these events co-occur with power outages? Just a nightmare.

Hospitals in England declare critical incidents as machines and IT fail in heat #Climate

This is all to say that I am so so sorry for the pregnant parents, babies, the elderly and medically fragile people who are in harm’s way from this crushing heat in Europe. Sorry for all of us. Sending solidarity.

Similar to the pubic health crisis in the PNW during the heat dome five years ago. ERs were triaging patients in body bags full of ice. Disaster.

We’ve been told it can’t be done over and over. No offense but… we keep winning. The lesson: if you don’t fight, you can’t win. @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social @symonedsanders.bsky.social @democracyforward.org

BREAKING: In our case, blocking the slush fund, the Trump admin has refused to say under oath the fund is not moving forward, even after the court gave them a week to do this. We aren’t surprised. We already blocked this fund and will aggressively pursue the next steps in the case.

We are baking in (pun intended) >160 ft of potential sea level rise though burning available fossil fuel resources. Unimaginable and yet here we are. You know what doesn’t cause sea levels to catastrophically rise? Renewables.

Thank you for speaking up, calling electeds, and talking about why ocean monitoring is critical to our coastal economies and safety. Ocean Observing Initiative is spared the axe for the moment. www.nsf.gov/news/update-...

This is such good news. Pushing back works.

Incredible filing today in defense of wild places, people in need, and essential ecosystem service that protect civic infrastructure and public safety.

Fossil fuel infrastructure is being fast tracked to supply the energy undergirding data centers. This point is often not upfront but the externalities and costs are certainly born by communities.

BREAKING: A court just BLOCKED the Trump-Vance administration from implementing its $1.776 billion so-called "Anti-Weaponization Fund” while our case challenging it continues. We will keep fighting this slush fund in court.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social and Senior Counsel Pooja Boisture break down our major slush fund win from court.

WIN: A court blocked the Trump-Vance admin’s so-called “Marketplace Integrity and Affordability” health care rule. This is a major victory against President Trump’s unlawful attacks on the Affordable Care Act and ensures millions of Americans will still be able to access healthcare.

WIN: A court ordered the Trump-Vance admin to stop censoring science and history at national parks – and within three weeks restore any materials it altered or removed. This ruling ensures that America's largest classroom will continue to tell our country's vital stories. #OurParksOurHistory

We have seen time and again the president have to abandon corrupt and unlawful schemes in the face of litigation and public pressure. If these rumors are true, the administration abandoning its illegal slush fund would be a major victory for people in America.

Big win from @democracyforward.org today — the first-of-its-kind order! Court blocks the Trump admin from distributing slush funds. This is what we do on Fridays.

Ohh that slush fund is REAL cold now. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Writing and deleting posts of outrage, grief, stress, and anger. This is all so horrific.

Our clients followed the law: they waited, registered, were inspected, and were granted parole under the law. Today’s ruling is a clear rejection of an administration that has tried to erase lawful status for hundreds of thousands of people with the click of a button.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to provide access to Holy Week religious services to immigrants held at the Chicago-area Broadview detention facility. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A powerful conversation with @democracyforward.org CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social on their ongoing fight to hold the Trump administration accountable in the courts—and how their efforts have been far more successful than you probably think.

A big win for our @democracyforward.org team, co-counsel, and clients (as well as a win for the free press, our democracy, and the American people). Courage is the new currency. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Separation of powers is a key safeguard of our liberty. @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social reminds us of the importance of respecting and defending that principle in order to uphold our democracy and democratic republic. Join us: weholdtruths.org #WeHoldTheseTruths

The Trump-Vance admin spent its first year in office decimating the civil service and undermining the protections that have supported the workforce for decades – and now they’re back at it. Our team @democracyforward.org is in court to stop this destructive attempt to remake the federal workforce.

Democracy in the United States is in crisis. But the story of this moment is not only one of crisis. It is also one of courage. Ahead of President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight, we released our new report ⬇️ democracyforward.org/work/researc...

Courts continue to find that this administration’s attempts to target DEI initiatives are unconstitutional, including the recent case we won protecting America's public schools.

Today @ucs.org joins @democracyforward.org, @protectparks.bsky.social and others to challenge Trump administration censorship of science and history in our national parks. The public deserves access to historical truth and reliable climate change information. Let's go. www.ucs.org/about/news/c...

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social is featured in the Post Next among 50 people who are shaping society in 2026. “People are going to win this fight for our country.” Read how Skye is leading our team to create change this year. www.washingtonpost.com/post-next/interactive/2026/#profile-skye-perryman

Detainees held at the Whipple facility in Minneapolis are being denied access to their lawyers. So we’re suing to make sure their constitutional rights are upheld.

A human being and child of God, Renee Nicole Good, may your memory be a blessing and a call for justice and peace. A nation mourns.

I am going to kindly share, as a Black person used to dodging these types of things, if you have your settings set to autoplay video, today is a great day to turn them off. You can be very informed without having to witness murder.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all. I hope the spirit moves us to be closer together in this new year.

BREAKING: We’re honored to represent the American Academy of Pediatrics after nearly $12 million of their federal public-health funding was cut in an attempt to retaliate against them for speaking out against the admin’s health policies. We will stop this blatant abuse of power in court.

Thanks for being with us @democracyforward.org community — we are going to just keep going. Happy holidays.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

As an oceanographer this has really been bothering me since their first mention of the Pacific. I mean… I know where the Eastern Pacific is but does the administration? Or journalists covering this? Thread by @chanda.blacksky.app is spot on.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.
