It's the #TrumpShutdown www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/10/01/t...

Some good news on this Wednesday night 👇🥳 THANK YOU to @delauro.house.gov and @murray.senate.gov for introducing this bill!

We bought a very large watermelon 🍉 Espresso cup shown for scale 😄

Chicago is an awesome city...case in point being the Franz West sculptures currently in Millennium Park. ❤️ #franzwest #ilovechicago

Greetings from Florence, where we are trying our darndest to avoid the news etc ☕️ ❤️

BREAKING: In a BIG win for New Yorkers, the @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social just voted to repeal the outdated 100-foot rule – which forced customers to subsidize costly gas hookups for new customers. Even with Trump in office, we’re winning at the state and local levels!

Meanwhile, atmospheric CO2 levels averaged during May 2025 rose to a record high 430.5 ppm, 3.6 ppm higher than they were in May 2024 (426.9 ppm) gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

Just to be clear, anyone proposing new small or large nuclear reactors for any purpose is either not the sharpest tool in the shed or has a financial interest in it.

Schumer's got to go and new leadership is needed now. www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/03/17/c...

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Senate just passed the dirty Republican spending bill, giving Musk and Trump free rein to dismantle, loot and privatize critical programs that protect our food, water, health and climate.

There’s still time, regardless of what Sen Schumer wants to do: call your senator and tell them to stand up and block the dirty House spending bill. 1-877-247-1820

No fight. No strategy. No leadership. Call your senator and tell them to block the House spending bill, even if Minority Leader Schumer won’t. 1-877-247-1820

📱 CALLS NEEDED 📱 NOW is the time to call your Senators and urge them to filibuster to block the dirty House spending bill, which cuts funding for safe food and clean water programs.

Some government waste to cut right here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

"For several weeks, most congressional Democrats are operating as if it’s business as usual. It’s become clear that it’s up to us to push our leaders to defend our food, water, climate and democracy." www.commondreams.org/opinion/the-...

This morning, our Executive Director Wenonah Hauter joined AFGE and our allies in the labor movement in DC for a rally to save our civil services 💪 Trump and Musk are attempting to illegally dismantle federal agencies – and NOW is the time to oppose their dangerous actions!

🚨NEWS: Trump is firing specific inspectors general whose offices have investigated Elon Musk’s companies and their business matters with the government. Inspectors general are independent nonpartisan appointees who audit spending and investigate fraud.

We're not exactly surprised by racist corruption from this administration, but laying off environmental justice workers is saying the quiet part *especially* loudly.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

The Musk-Trump agenda is clear: break the government, loot it, and privatize it. Remember - "the government" is medicare, medicaid, school lunches, national parks, clean drinking water, food safety inspections, and more!

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

December 17, 2014: New York State bans fracking! Happy ten-year anniversary to a great keep-it-in-the-ground victory! Honored to have helped bring the science to the movement that defeated the plans of the gas industry. Here’s the story of how we did it: act.foodandwaterwatch.org/page/73770/s...

No issue more strongly illustrates Newsom’s allegiance to the utility industry than the ongoing saga of Aliso Canyon. www.commondreams.org/opinion/news...

In today’s @latimes.com print edition: My column on Gavin Newsom’s continued failure to close the Aliso Canyon gas storage field, 9 years after a record-breaking methane leak — or even acknowledge his long-ago promise to try to shut it down before 2027: www.latimes.com/environment/...

If @gavinnewsom.bsky.social wants to be a national climate leader, he needs to follow through on his promises and stop doing the bidding of big utility interests. This starts with fulfilling his promise to shut down Aliso Canyon. www.commondreams.org/opinion/news... #AlisoCanyon #ActOnClimate

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of New York's historic #fracking ban, @foodandwater.bsky.social has created a free e-book that tells the story of the campaign, how it happened, and its impact. Check it out! fwwat.ch/3OQG3KS #banfracking #climate

NY State banned fracking 10 yrs ago next week (Dec 17, 2014)! To commemorate this historic date, Food & Water Watch created a FREE eBook that looks back on the history of this victory and forward to the path ahead. Check it out here: fwwat.ch/3OQG3KS

Thanks to everyone who has posted to the CPUC Aliso docket so far to tell the commissioners to vote AGAINST keeping the hazardous Aliso Canyon facility open. You can use this link to get to the docket: bit.ly/3ZsYzhv Hopefully with hundreds of comments, the CPUC will modify its decision.

Proud to be a lead signatory on this letter from US scientists to CA Gov Newsom asking him to keep his promise to SHUT DOWN the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility—an accident-prone climate bomb and public health menace made unnecessary by renewable energy. www.foodandwaterwatch.org/wp-content/u...

Science colleagues, please join me & others on this sign-on letter to California Governor Newsom. The Aliso Canyon gas blowout 9 yrs ago was a terrible tragedy. Let's make sure it does not happen again, at least not at the same site! bit.ly/AlisoCanyonL...

Hey scientist friends, we are seeking scientists to sign on to this letter to Governor Newsom to shut down the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility. Are you in?

The Aliso Canyon fossil gas storage facility blowout was one of the largest in US history. With the growth of Wind-Water-Solar, this facility is no longer needed. US scientists, please urge California Gov. Gavin Newsom to close it now and ramp up renewables even faster. bit.ly/AlisoCanyonL...

🧪 Fellow U.S. scientists: I am one of the lead signatories on a letter from the nation’s scientists to California Governor Newsom urging him to close the notorious climate-wrecking gas storage facility called Aliso Canyon. Please read and consider signing with us! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Haven't done much here, but going to start using this more. Hi everyone!

Fellow scientists, please consider joining me, @michaelemann.bsky.social @ssteingraber1.bsky.social Mark Jacobson & others in this letter to Pres. Biden urging a halt to LNG export expansion. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
