But that’s exactly what happens …

We’ve been telling you for years about the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), a 300+ mile long fracked-gas pipeline from fracking fields in West Virginia near Pennsylvania, through Virginia, and all the way into North Carolina. The project is still years behind schedule, drowning in debt, and which locals have fought on land, in the courts, …
We’ve said again and again that Dr Bullard has it right: Climate chaos hits Black and brown communities first and worst.

The Jan 6 2021 insurrection at the capitol was a dress rehearsal for Trump and his enablers to plan their overthrow of Democracy.

A few years ago I started a tradition of using a few charts, graphs and maps to illustrate our work. The idea is two-fold: First, some people take in visual data better than they do a written-out story. And while I spend a lot of time writing and researching these posts and emails, it’s nice …
