8 years after the 2010 BP #DeepwaterDisaster that killed 11 people and dumped nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf, the Trump administration is recklessly setting the stage for the next deadly offshore oil tragedy. #ProtectOurCoast nrdc.org/onearth/trump-…
"On Thursday, @SenBillNelson and fellow Democratic @SenatorCantwell of Washington filed much-need legislation that would put the blowout-preventer and well-control rule into law." @HeraldTribune

#ProtectOurCoast #DeepwaterDisaster on.nrdc.org/2rKrcKv heraldtribune.com/opinion/201804…
The #DeepwaterDisaster tarred hundreds of miles of beaches, inflicted billions of dollars in economic damages on communities, and changed the ecosystem of the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Leading scientists tell NRDC science scribe Perrin Ireland what happened to BP's oil and what they know about its impact on the Gulf. #DeepwaterDisaster #ProtectOurCoast
"Born in the wake of 2010's BP #DeepwaterDisaster — which killed 11 workers and dumped millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — BSEE has struggled to implement safety regulations that are now under threat of being rolled back." via @npr npr.org/2018/04/20/603…
"The Trump administration is ignoring advice from the bipartisan commission that investigated the BP #DeepwaterDisaster as officials move to repeal offshore drilling safety regulations adopted in its aftermath." via @EcoWatch #ProtectOurCoast ecowatch.com/deepwater-hori…
“The only way we can honor those who lost their lives is for us to learn how to do this in the correct way.” Lillian Espinoza-Gala, former offshore worker who now serves as an industry safety consultant and opposes easing protections. via @nytimes nytimes.com/2018/03/10/bus…
Last October, a pipe owned by offshore oil and gas operator LLOG Exploration Company, LLC spilled up to 393,000 gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, reminding many of the BP #DeepwaterDisaster eight years ago.

Ryan Zinke is a failed Interior secretary.
He’s failing the country.
It’s time for him to go.

"People like Zinke aren't draining the swamp. They, like their boss in the White House, are creating whole new wetlands." via @USAToday

America’s public waters and lands belong to you and me.

Zinke’s record as a steward of that public trust has been, in a word, abysmal.

In a sweeping decision that threatens massive swaths of land, hundreds of species and precious wildlife habitat, @Interior @SecretaryZinke today moved to roll back a conservation plan for the greater sage grouse on western U.S. lands: on.nrdc.org/2SzMWBh

"It’s the age-old battle between those who want to preserve western lands and those who want to extract," via @NatGeo nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/…
.@SecretaryZinke's rollback will sacrifice critical wildlife habitat to boost industrial activity, like oil and gas drilling and mining. nrdc.org/experts/nrdc/z…

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
