Still, Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-director of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, sees comments the new pope made last year on the need to move “from words to action” as a promising sign that he will continue Francis’ commitment to climate change.

from @grist.org via @climatedesk.org
How Pope Leo will approach climate change is unclear, but the vibe is positive
His mentor, Francis, was outspoken on the issue, and Leo is attuned to the plight of marginalized peoples.

Neighborhoods like Cody Rouge suffer from underpowered electrical service, more frequent power outages, and high energy bills—a legacy of the once-legal practice of redlining.

Redlining shaped the power grid. Communities of color are still paying the price.
America's legacy of segregation is affecting who benefits—and doesn't—from the clean energy revolution.

When traitors who bludgeoned cops and smeared feces in the halls of Congress are hailed as heroes, and when the family of one of those traitors gets $5 million from taxpayers, it’s vital for actual patriots to remember:

I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.
