BREAKING: Four US Senators are demanding the Justice Department use a "racketeering" law to sue @Chevron and other oil majors over their 50-year campaign to deceive the public about climate. Such a case – which allows triple damages – could literally shut down the industry.👊⤵️
BREAKING: In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court severely weakened the Clean Water Act in Sackett v. EPA. This is a catastrophic loss for water protections across the country and a win for big polluters, putting our communities, public health, and local ecosystems in danger.
River otters returned to a Superfund site in Washington State. But the site is still toxic—and now, so are the otters, Carin Leong reports for @hakaimagazine: on.theatln.tc/zvoavCe
BREAKING: The @EPA claim that water in Ohio is "safe" to drink is based on only a few tainted lab samples funded by the very rail company that caused the disaster. The EPA apparently never tested the water. Why does the polluter get to do the testing? ⬇️ huffpost.com/entry/ohio-tra…
The Growth Management Act requires many WA counties & the cities in them to create plans to manage long-term population growth. HB 1099 would require local governments to account for climate change in their plans. bellinghamherald.com/news/state/was… @davinaduerr @FuturewiseWA @ysabelle_kempe
VICTORY: CVS just announced that it will withdraw CVS v. Doe from the Supreme Court docket and end its attempt to roll back disability rights. This case could have undercut the foundation of disability rights laws. We won't let that happen.

Climate change is a global issue and affects all of us, but it doesn't affect us all equally. Learn more about the challenges our South Park residents face from @Duwamishcleanup Executive Director, Paulina López ⬇️
Tonight we are sharing signs and stories from the Duwamish River Rally, organized by @Duwamishcleanup to call attention to the “triple threat” as @EPA caves to pressure from polluters to weaken the already agreed upon cleanup standards.
The @EPA is working on a new water protection rule. Until a new rule is finalized, the country will return to water protections that were in place for years starting in 1986. ejus.tc/38zW8zE
Ever wonder how the Growth Management Act 'trickles down' to impact local planning? And what the heck does the comprehensive planning process look like, anyway? ⬇️Check the thread to learn more! 1/7 #WACantWait @wecprotects
BREAKING: A judge just stopped the Trump administration's "Dirty Water Rule," which eliminated Clean Water Act protections for thousands of waterbodies by redefining them as not “waters of the US.” This is a major victory for clean water!

I am issuing a statewide burn ban on all forest lands under DNR fire protection ahead of the Fourth of July weekend. This includes campfires, outdoor burning and the use of charcoal briquettes - effective July 2 through Sept. 30. Our state is bone dry, and we must protect it.
It passed! one step closer to #waleg passing a clean fuel standard, reducing emissions from our most-polluting sector, on-road transportation fuels.
The House Appropriations Committee is about to vote on HB 1091, the Clean Fuel Standard. #WAleg @joefitzgibbon: we will be better off with more green jobs, less air pollution, and by acting on climate. Yes! #cleanfuelsnow
