🎯 FACT: Home insurance companies raked in $167 billion in profits last year, a staggering 91% jump, while jacking up premiums on everyday South Carolinians. Insurance CEOs walked away with millions, even as coverage shrank and claims were denied and delayed at record highs. Help us promote Insurance Reform in South Carolina.

Tell your Senators to protect communities and forests from #biomass destruction! Take action with @GreenAmerica - greenam.org/biomass-tw

@rooster_ohio Unbelievable ... and yet to believable.

No one could have foreseen this.

@NYCComptroller The first rule for dealing with authoritarianism is Do Note Obey in Advance. But that's exactly what these largest banks have done. People need to leave these megabanks and move to community banks in their local areas.

Big banks are failing their climate resolutions in the new year. Citi, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley have now joined Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo in exiting the UN’s Net-Zero Banking Alliance—a deeply disturbing move that further weakens the commitment of financial institutions to sustainability. We remain committed to urging banks to take climate risk seriously. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Has she signed it yet? New York guv Kathy Hochul pressed by climate activists to sign superfund "polluters pay" bill. Fingers crossed that ethics outweigh politics here. bit.ly/3BtEsro @insideclimate @ccbecker271 @OhioEnviro @GovMikeDeWine @OhioSierraClub @ohiodnr

@StephanieKunze Please vote YES on HB 79 for our health, for our energy system, and for our wallets! The best energy is the energy we never used.

Turning off the replies to announce the death of your CEO should tell you that you are predatory and evil, but it's nothing they don't already know.

Better check your wallet. Climate advocate groups file complaint saying Blackrock, which manages mostly retirement funds, provides capital for rainforest deforestation- which accelerates climate warming and climate change. bit.ly/3ARfmT5 @ccbecker271 @alexcoolidge @OECD

Tell that to the people of Asheville, NC. This is willful ignorance and absolute stupidity.

The world needs a new climate finance goal to come out of #COP29 – building on last year’s commitment to transition away from fossil fuels. Mukhtar Babayev, get @COP29_Az back on track! No more excuses, no more delays, it’s time.

This is a political party committed to destroying itself.

Instead of “once upon a time,” Korean folk and fairy tales often begin with 호랑이 담배 피우던 시절에. It means “back when tigers smoked (pipes)”

It would be good for Democratic party voters to find out if their representative is going to vote for this -- and to make opposition to it clear.

Over on MSNBC @AymanM argues that if Dems don’t come to their senses and embrace @BernieSanders style populism, they will be doomed to many more electoral disasters.
