Good summary of the status of the CLCPA.
As Eric Walker of @weact4ej.bsky.social noted at the March rally:
"...this is a completely manufactured crisis that is founded through an incoherent narrative in an attempt to pressure the Legislature to give in to punting on our climate law..."
Not what the fossil fuel oligarchs had in mind, exactly. But very, very nice.
54,000 emails went to Mayor Katie Wilson last week about 5 new proposed Seattle data centers, and the Mayor posted Saturday she's exploring a moratorium on new data centers here.
We love to see people's voices being heard by our electeds!! Thank you Mayor Wilson!

GEORGIANS!
Great film in the town of Social Circle, GA, where the Trump administration hopes to open an ICE detention center, against the wishes of the townspeople.
BTW, Mike Collins, running for Jon Ossoff’s seat, was mute when these people asked for his help.

GEORGIANS!
The GA Supreme Court Race

Happiness bus right into my veins
This image depicts ramifications of 1.5 degrees Celsius warming worldwide. Greenhouse gases from oil and gas fracking's methane emissions contributes to climate change when renewable energy is cheaper, reliable and emissions-free. Ohio has quashed enough wind and solar projects over the past three years to power the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus. The State Energy Committee, headed by Sen. Brian Chavez, (R-Marietta), who owns gas and oil businesses, sets state energy policy of 96 percent fossil fuels versus four percent renewable energy. (United Nations Image)

Join us! Registration closes April 16.
A reminder that the Vietnam peace talks lasted from 1968 to 1973; the "marathon" Iran talks took place in less than a day.
I think the short attention span of Trump and everyone around him is a part of our trouble.
One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.
This excellent essay from one of our brilliant Third Act Advisory Council Members (and wonderful author) Rebecca Solnit makes for tough but worthwhile reading.
We suggest following it with some browsing of the crowds demonstrating in Hungary, showing a people determined to remove a Trump figure.
YES, as we say, THIS! (Always appreciate David's frank framing of the issues. 😂)
Register today for #GreatOhioClimateMarch May 16-28.
Hike in solidarity with @thirdactoh.bsky.social and those who want Ohio renewable energy-- not polluting natural gas fracked from state parks and public lands. bit.ly/4cg2GDL

No Kings, Frisco! #nokings
Is there really someone (besides DJT) who would look at this and say 'I feel more American'?
Compare it to the Lincoln Memorial, or the Vietnam Memorial.
May 1- No Business as Usual.

Gas is on the way out.
Will it be in time to save Ohio state parks, our health and water-- and the planet?
