A US city received $500,000 to remove lead pipes – and still hasn’t spent it theguardian.com/us-news/2023… Really important article and ht to @NRDC and @greenwatchdogNY for outstanding work on this issue. Clean Water is a Basic Human Right.

A US city received $500,000 to remove lead pipes – and still hasn’t spent it

Troy, New York, has yet to remove a single lead pipe five years after getting the money. What went wrong?

#CopCity's permit violates sediment regulations, endangering Intrenchment Creek, the South River and neighboring community. Clear-cutting the forest would bring catastrophic flooding to southwest Dekalb. Let the Zoning Board of Appeals know.

Major news. Minnesota's House has passed the trans refuge act! This bill, if it passes the Senate, will protect trans people fleeing from other states for their care. It protects from subpoenas and more! Gov Welz has already enacted part of this with an EO, but this goes far!
MPR News@MPRnews24 Mar 2023
Just in: The Minnesota House passed the trans refuge act. It creates legal protections for those who travel to Minnesota for gender-affirming care. The bill now goes to Senate committees, then to Gov. Walz if it passes, who says he supports it. MN would be the 4th refuge state.

Yesterday 8 Cop City protesters were denied bond, and may be forced to sit in jail until trial. No actual evidence was presented against any of the defendants. The judge's decision was based on innuendo and unsupported claims from the prosecutor. What's going on here? [thread]

I am just appalled by the media coverage of @POTUS's decision to approve the Willow oil drills in Alaska. WHY is the framing "Biden vs the activists," when even the @IEA says that meeting the 1.5C target of the #ParisAgreement requires no new fossil energy development? THREAD
