Today, hundreds of workers at Environmental Defense Fund announced the launch of EDF Together — the largest environmental union in the US. We’re asking EDF to voluntarily recognize our union so that we can begin building a better EDF, together. Learn more: edftogether.org

Workers from @sbworkersunited.org put their bodies on the line today, shutting down Starbucks' distribution center in York, PA, the largest in the US
Stand in solidarity with these working-class heroes, DON'T BUY STARBUCKS ANYWHERE UNTIL THEY WIN THEIR STRIKE
a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
"Fossil fuel executives are the arsonists of the climate crisis. They cannot be trusted to help extinguish the fire,” Collin Rees, U.S. campaign manager at @oilchange.bsky.social told @desmog.com from #COP30

A bearded white guy in front of trees, smiling and holding a signed piece of paper: I pledge not to take contributions over $200 from oil, gas, and coal industry executives, lobbyists, or PACs and instead prioritize the health of our families, climate, and democracy over fossil fuel industry profits. NAME Josh Roseneu OFFICE Lake Forest Park City Council
When you run for office, some of the pledges and promises you’re asked about take some analysis.
Others are pretty simple.
I committed to the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge early on, and am excited to actually post the photo and add my name to the list at nofossilfuelmoney.org.

Oil And Gas Industry To Get $40 Billion In New Subsidies From Republicans Because They Love The Free Market So Much

Go @hynotnw.bsky.social! The grassroots group are campaigning against the UK's dangerous, unproven, and expensive carbon capture and blue hydrogen plans. They describe it as "fossil fuel light" - comparable to the tobacco industry’s promotion of low-tar cigarettes.

With @emdashsanders.bsky.social at ExxonKnews:
Exxon is pushing through a CO2 pipeline in Cancer Alley that will run as close as 160 yards from the nearest home.
Invaluable to have a number to put on this abject squandering of public resources, courtesy of @oilchange.bsky.social: "fossil fuel companies, which spend millions every year to rig our political system in their favor, receive a 30,000% return on investment as subsidies."

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world.

1️⃣ Congratulations to @oilchange.bsky.social, and particularly @collinrees.bsky.social, for its new study on U.S. federal subsidies for fossil fuel production, which they estimate at $34.8 billion ($4 bln of which were added by Congress this year).
This is who people should be citing, not the IMF.
Is this where we want our tax money going?
The fossil fuel industry is set to receive $34.8 billion in handouts every year – over $4 billion of which were added by Trump and Republicans this year. @oilchange.bsky.social
NEW REPORT: Each year, as working families struggle, the federal gov’t subsidizes the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $35 BILLION.
Ridiculous. We need to invest in our communities, not give handouts to the Big Oil Billionaires destroying our planet.

Welfare for an industry that makes hundreds of billions in profits and ravages the climate is civilizational self-harm. End it now.

New from @collinrees.bsky.social and @oilchange.bsky.social : The US government gives the profitable, polluting fossil-fuel industry *at least* $34.8 billion in subsidies every year. Think how much housing, health care and/or cheap, clean energy that money could buy

I don’t give a shit if JD Vance doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. Striking civilian boats in international waters is both unconstitutional and a war crime. The party of “law and order” clearly doesn’t care about respecting it.

Talk about propping up a dying industry.
They're killing off solar and wind power projects.
While giving handouts to Big Oil & Gas.
1/10 - Would not recommend this federal government configuration.
🚨🚨🚨 Our *new research* finds that the U.S. federal government gives the fossil fuel industry a whopping $35 BILLION of handouts every single year, even as working families struggle with the rising cost of housing, groceries, and utilities.

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?...
We can’t trust fossil fuel megacorporations to voluntarily reduce their climate pollution. A liveable climate + safe and healthy communities require a just transition away from fossil fuels. Read more in the new blog from our Research Director, @lornestockman.bsky.social:

A graph showing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector rising in lockstep with production of these fossil fuels. That suggests the industry is failing to take steps to reduce methane emissions along its supply chain.
Since 2017, the Int'l Energy Agency has told the world the fossil fuel industry can reduce its emissions of toxic, planet-warming methane at little to no cost to itself. But industry keeps failing to clean up its act. Methane emissions are still rising in lockstep with production. bit.ly/47YXaVt

No Fossil Fuel Money pledge signers
wondering who to support in the #CAGov race? The No Fossil Fuel Money pledge has 4 candidates who've signed. 3 and a half who haven't, including one notorious pledge breaker.
