He shrank away.
Fled.
Cowered then just like he cowers now.

Schumer is an utter failure. He’s been a failure for decades. And it’s time for him to step aside.

RESIGN CHUCK SCHUMER.

We organize now. For climate. For marginalized communities. For Gaza. For Sudan. For all of it!

Otherwise people die and capitalism wins.

This is what corporate capture looks like.

South Baltimore deserves better.
All of Maryland deserves better.

So yes, we confronted him. And we’ll keep confronting every politician who chooses corporate profits over people’s lives.

Bills in the Maryland legislature would have imposed fees on coal companies and dedicated $5 million to asthma treatment in Curtis Bay. Moore stayed silent and let them die a quiet death.

Moore ignored repeated invitations from Curtis Bay residents – a predominantly Black community suffering from a coal export terminal. Children there have some of the highest asthma rates in America.

Maryland was next. But Moore killed it, claiming budget concerns while giving data center companies massive tax breaks.

. . . THEN vetoed the bill that would have studied their impacts. His own allies called him out.

Next he vetoed the RENEW Act – a study costing ONLY $500k that could have led to BILLIONS from fossil fuel companies for climate damages. NY and Vermont already passed “climate superfund” laws.

When data center company Aligned Data Centers refused to comply with pollution regulations + left, he gutted those regulations instead of protecting communities + passed the Critical Infrastructure Streamlining Act in 2024, exempting data center backup diesel generators from environmental review.

Moore pretends to be a climate leader but in reality he is the exact opposite. He is ready and willing to poison Black and brown communities in his own state to enrich his cronies, like the ones gathered in this multimillion dollar Capitol Hill home.

Let’s look at his track record . . .

Despair is a luxury we cannot afford. Despair is exactly what the fossil fuel CEOs want us to feel. The fight begins anew. Right here. Right now.

We will mourn what we have lost and fight like hell for what we can still save. Today and every day. Onwards. (11/11)

Our ecosystems are at the precipice of collapse, and meanwhile the leader of the free world shreds climate regulations and boosts fossil fuel production. This is a dark time for our country and & climate. BUT: (10/11)

This will not be easy. We are up against a lot. A multi-trillion dollar fossil fuel industry. A multi-trillion dollar right-wing misinformation machine. A fascist Republican Party. A “Democratic” party that delivers little more than “strongly worded letters.” (9/11)

There is still hope but we must act NOW. Piecemeal solutions won’t do it. Paper straws won’t do it. We must fundamentally rework and reimagine virtually every aspect of our society and economy. (8/11)

And it gets worse still. The various tipping points do not exist in isolation. They interact with each other. They amplify each other. They can set each other off. (7/11)

It gets worse. It gets much worse. Coral bleaching is not the only tipping point. This paper also identified the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet and the die-off of the Amazon rainforest as tipping points we are on the precipice of hitting. (6/11)

At this point, seaweed begins to grow in, replacing the void left by the coral. Once the seaweed takes over, it is nearly impossible for the coral to come back. (5/11)

The warming of the ocean causes the coral to expel its algae, in a process called bleaching. If this happens just once or twice, the coral reefs may recover. If this happens repeatedly, the coral dies off completely. (4/11)

Here’s how coral bleaching works. First the air warms, due to the 41,000,000,000 tons of CO2 we release into the atmosphere every year. This in turn causes the ocean to warm. (3/11)

Coral’s natural beauty is unparalleled. But this is about more than that. 1 billion people rely on coral for their nutrition and livelihoods. A quarter of marine life depends on coral. Coral is the backbone of our oceanic ecosystems. (2/11)
