Care Economy/Climate Bill is Paid For Taxing Rich!

@RussellSieg

How a Powerful Company Convinced Georgia to Let It Bury Toxic Waste in Groundwater

@propublica: Georgia Power & GOP leaders in GA have been working for years to bend the rules

is there no limit to their greed & reckless disregard for the environment?
propublica.org/article/how-a-…

"Georgia Power reps argued that state regulators could narrowly interpret the definition of a single word — “infiltration” — in the federal coal ash rule. The company believed this interpretation would allow millions of tons of waste to be left submerged in groundwater."

"Georgia Power hoped to store coal ash in a way that only prevented water — such as rain falling from the sky — from seeping through a cover over the dry ash. They hoped regulators would disregard the presence of any groundwater that would soak the dry ash..."

Today the Equal Rights Amendment was passed in Virginia. Regardless of what happens next, this is a big deal. Virginia showed up and said, ‘Gender discrimination isn’t just wrong. It’s illegal.’

This isn’t just a win for Virginia, it’s a win for all the women and men who fought for this moment.

This is for those no longer with us who spent their lives fighting for equality. Most importantly, this is for our future, as girls throughout this country will see that their nation recognizes their value and will permanently codify their equality.

Renew Oregon

@RenewOregon

The business of the state is not done until significant #climateaction is in place. Cap-and-invest is not dead for 2019. It’s what we voted for. Thousands of Oregonians, from every corner of our state, call on our elected leaders for a special session to pass this bill. #ORleg

Bold action is necessary for our state to combat and prepare for the #climatecrisis. Make no mistake, Senate Republicans are coming back under their terms after walking out on Oregon’s children twice this year. This is not how our democracy is supposed to work. #ORpol

Continuing to capitulate to demands of a small minority, which has taken our legislature hostage, will only lead to more of the same because there are no consequences. It was never just about a climate protection bill, but a long list of Senate GOP demands and grievances.

🚨Trump White House just asserted executive privilege over the #MuellerReport. Just as House Judiciary is about to vote to hold Attorney General Barr in #contempt for refusing to provide the full report. Roy Cohn Barr threatened he would tell WH to do this. Absurd and abusive.

Louis Gohmert has said “coup” twice already, pushing the absurd and desperate propaganda that the Russia investigation was a “failed coup” to “set up” a legitimate POTUS. (Did Putin give Trump+/his propagandists that idea? It’s a favorite Kremlin trope!) #BarrContemptHearing

Sad Twilight Zone: Democrats are talking about the constitution, rule of law, defending our institutions. Republicans spew propaganda buzzwords—“liberal media overlords” “kangaroo court” “coup” “spying” “Strzok.” Can’t even defend Barr. #Obstruction #BarrContemptHearing

@ariezrawaldman

today, on #InternationalWomensDay, my conlaw class and i discussed a woman's right to choose. these stats are important, mortifying, frustrating, shameful, and demand engagement, activism, and a new Democratic majority. #Thread

between 2010 and 2015, states enacted 290 new laws imposing restrictions on abortions. in 2016 alone, 19 states adopted 64 new laws. #electionsmatter

33 states and DC prohibit the use of state funds to help women exercise a constitutional right, except in certain narrow circumstances. this unfairly targets poor women and women of color.

Here's the agenda for this afternoon's meeting. documentcloud.org/documents/4755… I'm interested in a few items, including this one re county contracts with minority and women-owned businesses, otherwise known as MWBEs.

Local nonprofit leader Bennie Nelson West speaking against an ordinance that would further regulate short-term rentals, i.e. AirBnBs. You can find all the docs associated with this meeting here: agenda.shelbycountytn.gov//sirepub/meeti…
