Resilient Arizona

We need enhanced electrical grid resilience. Extreme temperatures & extended electric grid failure will result in massive loss of life. New codes & investment in resilience hubs are necessary. Learn More: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @SenatorSinema @SenMarkKelly @SCNetworkAZ

BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran. Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers. They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one. Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda. 53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it. The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one. Never stop connecting the dots.

We're ten days out from this event! Looking forward to this conversation with CCL Executive Director Ricky Bradley, @billmckibben and @NPR Climate Desk reporter Rebecca Hersher. See you at the @BKLYNlibrary April 30! #EarthMonth

The American people do not want to be dragged into another endless war in the Middle East. I would know. I saw close friends die next to me serving as a Marine in a high-combat unit in Iraq. Each of these deaths was needless.    We have yet to see any evidence to prove that tonight’s strikes were necessary to protect U.S. national security. President Trump must immediately show why tonight’s strikes were necessary. Without that evidence, President Trump’s bombing of Iran risks the lives of Americans, both civilians at home and our servicemembers in the Middle East.    The President’s actions could escalate us into a war. We cannot repeat history and blindly march in to another faraway conflict that puts Americans’ lives at risk.

We face a stark choice amid the escalation in the Middle East. One way leads to wider war, deeper suffering & serious damage to the international order. The other leads to de-escalation, diplomacy & dialogue. We know which way is right. We cannot & must not give up on peace.

Thousands of protesters across the world rallied to denounce US President Trump's decision to strike Iranian nuclear facilities

.@johnyangtv: "James Elder, I know you are just back from having spent a little more than a week in Gaza. I'm curious, how did conditions compare with previous visits?" @1james_elder: "Somehow, the situation for the Palestinians in Gaza has never been worse. ... People have been pushed to the very brink. ... And I think, John, the level of children I've seen with wounds of war over five visits is unparalleled to anything I've seen in my two decades of this work. I don't just see those injuries now, you hear them. Every hospital is the sound of those children screaming because of the severe lack of painkillers."

YES! Thank you to the 13 Republican members of Congress who spoke up in favor of the Inflation Reduction Act clean energy tax credits! We 👏 love 👏 to 👏 see it 👏

Do you have a #HeatSafety plan? Check in with your friends and family to make sure they know what to do during extreme heat. Take breaks and use a buddy system if spending time outdoors in the heat. More: bit.ly/3JurQRb #HeatSafety #NIHHIS

The urban heat island: it’s not just for big cities! Sedona’s urban heat island is 9°F hotter in some areas; Yuma is about to measure their UHI this summer. Check out more about the urban heat island: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8686d4… #HeatAwareness

🥵 Feeling the heat? 👉 Make sure your ceiling fan is spinning counterclockwise to push that cool air down. 🔥 If it’s hitting 90°F or higher inside, treat yourself to some AC—find a cool spot nearby: 1.azdhs.gov/3Yu2LxO #HeatAwareness

It's been an amazing start to May 😍 but this weekend should get much warmer in central and southern AZ. Things to know: hitting those 100°F+ temps just a few days after 80°F+ temps can impact most folks. Take it easy! #HeatAwareness #Hydrate #Plan

Failing to track meaningful weather data means loosing the ability to clearly describe reality to ourselves. That is apparently the intention. Surly, what we don't know can't possibly hurt us (or our ability to take wise & effective evasive action)... cnn.com/2025/05/08/cli…

Summer is approaching quickly & extreme heat will be here before we know it. Please join @NWSTucson @NWSFlagstaff @NWSVegas @AZDHS @AZStateClimate @HeatReadyPHX @DEMAArizona this week to raise awareness of the impacts from extreme heat! arcg.is/00jvO4 #HeatAwareness
