As a 20 year member of @SierraClub excited to see my local chapter firmly supporting the growing movement to ban single family home only zoning.
It’s long overdue to recognize its creation of suburban sprawl/super commute pollution & racist origins:

Someone just shared this screen shot with me from my former colleague. This is not merely “uncivilized”. It is misogynistic and laced with gender-based threats at YOUR HOME. It is wrong. We can disagree without demoralizing each other. This movement demands that of us. – at Seattle, WA

Not an employee enough to collect unemployment, not "be your own boss" enough to get small business help. Uber, Lyft and taxi drivers face sharp losses and little help amid coronavirus outbreak. w/@mlbaruchman seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

This is such an amazing day - a day many told us was impossible. This is what we can do in America - help solve a global problem and improve people's lives, one coal plant at a time. Hell of a coalition and remarkable staff/volunteers at the @beyondcoal campaign.
Big milestone alert - today the 300th US coal plant since 2010 was announced for retirement, SWEPCO’s Dolet Hills plant - one of the most expensive and polluting coal plants in Louisiana, and the focus of 7+ years of advocacy.
We are moving @BeyondCoal: sierraclub.org/press-release…
William Ruckelshaus was a great man on many levels. This is a huge loss. He is one of my heroes. google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes…
This is the type of action that will help break through the status quo and get us out of the strangle hold of the fossil fuels industry. Thank you.
Here is a heat pump that heated to -30F. That’s pretty amazing. Clearly cold temperatures are not a barrier to heat pumps in Seattle.
