Making more PFAS chemicals is not the solution to the PFAS pollution crisis. But Chemours is pushing to make more PFAS in North Carolina, again. Sign @edonovan01 @CleanCapeFear's petition and tell @NC_Governor @JoshStein_ to deny this new permit request. change.org/p/tell-gov-josh-s…

Sign the Petition

I’ve spent the last 8 years working on a book about forever chemicals, or #PFAS, and the chemical industry’s decades-long campaign to cover up their dangers. What I discovered along the way is more disturbing than I could have imagined, and yet the journey has left me deeply hopeful. @CrownPublishing penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

Meanwhile, coastal NC residents are seeing home insurance rates spike bc frequent natural disaster payouts due to climate change are crippling the state insurance industry. State Farm in CA is already requesting emergency rate hikes. HSR is 90% more carbon efficient than driving.

Trump wants to halt the high-speed rail project that would cut travel time between SF and LA from 9 hours to under 3 hours. "We're going to start a big investigation on that.. it wasn't even necessary, I would have said, you don't buy it. You take an airplane.”

WATCH: “We’re gonna get rid of fact-checkers…” In what looks almost like a hostage video, Zuckerberg bends the knee to Trump entirely — doing away with Facebook fact-checkers and moving the process to Texas under the guise of protecting free expression.

So North Carolina went blue across the board except for president. Dem Governor, Dem Lt Governor, Dem school superintendent, Dem AG, and 2 dem reps. And Trump. Do I have that right?

At the UN General Assembly last month, I called upon member states to stop hiding behind smokescreens & start applying human rights standards consistently when it comes to protecting human rights defenders. They know what to do, they just don't do it. #UNGA79
