Bravo!

Acosta: He can try to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue and all of that—Hegseth can show up in a camouflage tie he got at the Gap—but at the end of the day, the real American strength, the real American might that was on display over the weekend, was in those No Kings protests across the country.

Action Network and Indivisible are holding a May Day protest. The event begins at 12:00 noon at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Hope to see you there!

Reminder: The next All-In Call is Wed. March 19 at 4 pm PT! Join us for our quarterly community gathering with special guests Ezra Levin of Indivisible Team, Antonique Smith of Climate Revival, Bill Mckibben, Akaya Windwood & more.

Keep fighting!

Surface mine reclamation in Eastern KY ‘alarmingly slow,’ leaving problems in its wake A new report says hundreds of surface-mined coal sites across Eastern Kentucky have not been fully reclaimed as quickly as they should have, leaving barren ground and continued potential for environme...

Appalachian communities are still suffering the consequences of coal mining - even years after the mines have stopped operating.

Dirty fossil fuel companies must take responsibility, clean up their mess, and restore these communities.

Fossil fuels cannot compete against cheap wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewables. Solar, wind, storage & others will accelerate the death spiral of the entire atomic and fossil fuel industry. Citizens and investors be warned, they are cornered and dangerous.

We’re Suing to Stop the Trump Admin’s Climate Censorship that Threatens Farmers and Our Food Supply The Trump administration is removing climate-related information from government websites, many of which farmers rely on to adapt to increasingly extreme weather and access to funds.

Trump's USDA is violating the Freedom of Information Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act.

Our lawsuit is part of a longstanding push for climate-smart agriculture and reducing industrial agriculture’s climate impact. We're not backing down now.

Go Wes!

WA Coal Act Supporters: The Chair of Ways and Means announced that the Washington Coal Act will not get a hearing this session. The Act would remove $2.6 Billion in Coal investments from State pension fund. SB5439 survives and moves on in 2026 session! BIG THANKS to orgs that joined our coalition!

Jamie Raskin: 'There's not a fourth branch of the federal government called 'Elon Musk.'

That may be the first great line of the resistance

Another terrible Hochul move. Thanks to @ssteingraber1.bsky.social and everyone else who has been working hard on this

starting now! So good to be in conversation with these amazing folks

The state pension fund (WSIB) needs to divest from coal and other fossil fuels. The state legislature has now introduced the Washington Coal Act directing the state pension fund to phase out $2.6 Billion from coal. Email your senator & urge them to support SB 5439.

Donald Trump has declared the U.S. is in a “national-energy emergency.” “The actual emergency, obviously, is with the climate,” @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Bravo! Carbon capture is a boondoggle that permits oil companies to keep drilling and burning fossil fuels. South Dakota conservatives(!) just helped defeat Big Oil's plans to construct CO2 pipelines across private lands using eminent domain. Fight Back! Form alliances! Say No to Fossil Fuels!

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

Yes, your gas stove is killing you. And just because everyone and their grandma has one and the whoosh of the little blue flame just seems so comforting and familiar doesn’t mean it’s not.
