For decades Chevron dumped oil waste onto Indigenous lands in the Amazon, killing thousands.
I was there when the communities fought back and won.
After 644 days of my house arrest, Chevron's "trial" to criminalize human rights advocacy continues.

Meanwhile, everybody keeps not wanting US fracked gas.
On the heels of France killing financing plans for #LNG imports from Texas, the German utility Uniper is now rethinking its own LNG import terminal in Wilhelmshaven citing “market uncertainty.” reuters.com/article/us-unipe…

Call me radical, but I don’t think Democrats should be promoting something that creates a trillion gallons of toxic waste a year and poisons workers and families across this country. bit.ly/3oh5syW

Polls from Pennsylvania show that voters want fracking banned -- which means Democrats' continued push for fracking isn't out of political necessity. Instead, they are making a choice to embrace climate denial. buff.ly/30O3FHn

Whoever needs to hear this (leadership of both US political parties):
#Fracking harms public health, destabilizes the climate, and cannot be made safe by any set of rules.
Fracking jobs kill and maim workers and are disappearing bc automation.

“The largest concentration of the greenhouse gas methane seen over the United States”, according to a 2016 NASA study.
Burning off the excess from naturalgas wells, or flaring, is the primary cause of this pollution.

Michigan election officials have successfully blocked the #banfracking ballot proposal from the 2020 ballot. They did this by unlawful actions, delays, and legal delays. Mich Court of Appeals still to decide the case for 2022 @freep @metrotimes @LSJNews @MLive @BridgeMichigan

Deadly heatwaves. Unsafe air. over 600 wildfires. Fossil fuels got us here. Yet @GavinNewsom has issued over 1,500 oil & gas permits in 2020. @CAGovernor we urge you to model true climate leadership for the US & the world: phase out fossil fuels!

Thank you so much for this! Ten years of campaigning to #banfracking coast to coast!
This movement and all of our incredible organizers are so excited to see this!!!
Fracking is destroying our land and our water. It is wreaking havoc on our communities' health. We must do our job to protect our future from the harms caused by the fracking industry. That is why I am proud to introduce the Fracking Ban Act with @RepDarrenSoto today.

On the heels of @JustinNobel bombshell report on radiation risks of fracked gas comes this new research from Poland:
Radon in gas decays into radioactive lead that lines pipelines at levels high enough to be classified as radioactive waste. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

A set of cases settled in Louisiana in 2016 argued that oil-and-gas workers' exposure to radioactivity directly caused a litany of lethal cancers. “Once you have the information, it is indisputable,” says a scientist who served as an expert witness rol.st/3aytlej
