It is incredibly gratifying to have this kind of support to fight for clean air around these polluting projects. We're already looking to extend this to the WV stations! www.every.org/protect-our-...

Not only is gas power (methane) contributing to climate change via CO2 combustion emissions and uncombusted methane releases, many of these data centers are using power generation equipment with even higher emissions than industry standard gas turbines – so it is even worse.

This is a draft. I have lots of ideas for improvement. What would you recommend to make this better? arcg.is/0bDD041

Well, they've finally struck home. #ICE has detained my former #umich student, Yousif Azizi, a PhD student in public policy at Virginia Tech w/a valid visa. He was arrested while taking his children to school in Maryland. After multiple transfers, he is in a detention center in Arizona.

"Costs to build natural gas-fired power plants in the US increased 66% between 2023 and 2025" "More expensive power plants will likely mean higher utility bills for homes and small businesses." This won't end well.

Is this bad? This is bad, right?

JUST IN: Virginia adopted a new law yesterday to forbid sheriffs & local police from contracting with ICE — if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws & agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree ICE won't promise that, and that this spells the end of ICE contracts in Virginia.

Reminder: Join us at Meadowbrook Library in Shawsville, VA on Sunday, April 26th to learn more about air and noise emissions from the proposed MVP Boost Swann compressor station. powhr.org/events/commu...

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math. less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

If you were around the KY/VA border  on HWY 23 last Friday, you might have heard the sounds of an Appalachian shindig in downtown Pound. Pound, usually known for having almost lost its charter because of widespread corruption, is now showing up as a leader in true community-led revitalization. 1/5

Know who else has no Navy and no Air Force? Ticks.

Fire weather.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

We have two great skill-sharing events coming up! Want to FOIA your government on data centers or other shenanigans? How about community-based air monitoring and stopping the MVP Boost project? 👉 powhr.org/events

Remember how you felt about people defending their neighbors in Chicago, Minneapolis, and other cities around the US? Extend that empathy a bit further, to people Trump is calling animals. It may hurt to stop and think about how much you have in common with those people. That's okay. Let it.

The threat alone is disqualifying. Everything about this has been abhorrent. He is unfit for public life, never mind the immense responsibility assigned to his position and office. My heart aches for the Iranian people subjected to the complete moral failure of my country and our so-called leaders.

Some of you may have heard me rant about “movement lawyers” who can’t/won’t/don’t have the skills/experience to do what movements need us to do which is fight & defend people when the state deploys legal machinery to wage war on resistance. This is your chance to get skilled up & get in formation 👇🏽

last week I wrote about the gas industry calling on the EU to pause its methane reg so it can keep importing US LNG great reporting by @amywestervelt.bsky.social @nickcunningham.bsky.social @rossimarcello.bsky.social shows the reality of 'certified' US gas that claimed to meet the EU's standards

Concede nothing to the polluters and the destroyers of our future and their enablers in so-called regulatory agencies. Deeply grateful for this relentless legal team and the mighty coalition that won't quit. ❤️‍🔥

They bombed a school. Twice. I think we know what those procedures look like.

This Day in Labor History: March 30, 1930. The Hawk’s Nest tunnel project near Gauley Bridge, West Virginia began, tunneling through the New River. Upwards of 1,000 black workers would die of silicosis, possibly the worst workplace health disaster in American history! Let's talk about this horror!

Operation Epic Fyre Festival

New from me: I talked to organizers in cities around the country on how they are mobilizing thousands to stop ICE from kidnapping their neighbors. All of it is scalable. You can do it in your neighborhood. There are more of us than them.

We've prepared an array of handbills for distributing at the No Kings rallies—introducing anarchism, the case for abolishing ICE, and the Prairieland case. Please print these out and distribute them! And make your own! crimethinc.com/NoKingsHandb...

Hey!! I"ll be speaking at this event with some nice fellow panellists, starting at 1300 US eastern / 1900 Central European time, about my recent work on AI greenwashing and how to bring the industry down to size :) rcei.rutgers.edu/event/what-a... @ruclimateenergy.bsky.social

Can confirm. :) dceff.eventive.org/schedule/699...

I have a lot to say about all of this but let’s just stick to the fact that this isn’t true: “These plants will not affect the price of electricity for Ohio residents because the facilities are not connected to the grid…” Hi they’re buying out scarce equipment, creating massive inflation, tysm

#SouthwestVirginia has faced repeated floods in recent years, and there is a great need for better preparation for climate related disasters. That's why we're working with local residents to plan resilience projects and ensure that local voices lead the way. #SWVA Read more: https://loom.ly/7fgt9oo

Hizzoner just explained my own people's heritage to me better than any of my family ever did. 😂☘️

If ya know me, ya know I don't prefer to leave the home holler but I'm so grateful to see this work out in the world so it's back to DC for me on Friday. We're screening the Appalachia and Greater Chaco episodes back to back. dceff.eventive.org/schedule/699...

Just a full-throated boast about transferring wages from people who are already struggling to fossil fuel corporations and wealthy investors while murdering Iranian schoolchildren.

why would salted caramel mocha latte drinkers do this

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

It has been more than a year since the tents and banners of 2024’s pro-Palestine student encampments came down. But dozens of faculty members, staff, and students nationwide are still navigating the backlash that followed, fighting continued campus repression.

TPUSA is teaming up with Google and NextEra in both municipal and statewide races in Arizona, in part to control the future of a gigantic, publicly owned water and power utility, the Salt River Project. Note the coalition here. Masks are coming off at the utility and energy intersection.

My family drives an electric car, but I don't feel especially smug about being protected from all the ways oil shocks will ripple through the global economy. For one I care about the people who still have to get to work and school and health care w/o electric cars.

The U.S. war on Iran is good for plans to revive the Keystone XL pipeline, according to the CEO of South Bow (the new KXL owner) “Those realities are a great backdrop for us to provide maybe a solution.” energynow.ca/2026/03/sout...

Along the Gulf Coast, shrimpers are losing their catch, wetlands are vanishing, and communities are choking on pollution as Trump’s second term supercharges the LNG boom. “For us, it’s about continuing to exist.”

People need to get over the idea that Karoline Leavitt is a source of actual information, someone asked her a question about ground troops, she didn't have an actual answer, so she made sounds that are statistically likely to sound tough and change the subject

That isn't what she said and you should delete this.
