55 years ago, the landmark #CivilRightsAct was signed into law barring discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. We must defend it – and build upon it. https://t.co/c0jj081BM6 — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah, good luck with that. https://t.co/A66o1ACj4F — PolitiTweet.org

Four million Americans and thousands of RIers rely on #TitleX for essential health care services every year. The circuit court decision upholding Trump administration restrictions on this program puts their health at risk. #ProtectX #NoGagRule — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to meet the small business owners working out of the Providence Kitchen Collaborative. From Knead Donuts to the Far West Cocktail Bar and Room & Works, there are a lot of great things happening here. https://t.co/Rp06Kxp8v7 — PolitiTweet.org

That’s the kind of renewable energy pricing that has folks warning about a “carbon asset bubble collapse" affecting the world economy, as the fossil fuel industry tries to lie and bully its way through this predicament. Hey, it’s worked so far . . . . https://t.co/W4XJTx3XJ8 — PolitiTweet.org

But here’s the good news: a utility board in California is looking at a 25-year contract for electricity at 1.997¢/kwh for solar energy and 1.3¢ for power from batteries. https://t.co/Etz76SsVLg — PolitiTweet.org

Good news/bad news. Here’s the bad news — the Paris Agreement isn’t doing enough: https://t.co/nE9aLHcQLM — PolitiTweet.org

At first glance, SCOTUS’s Knick decision looks unremarkable: a dispute between a landowner and a local government over access to a cemetery. But pull back the curtain and you see this case on a much bigger chessboard. My op-ed in @TheNLJ: https://t.co/nnyFfj1Xz2 — PolitiTweet.org

A. Exxon continues to funnel secret amounts of money to top climate obstructors like @ShopFloorNAM and #ChamberofCarbon. If you’re sincere, come clean. B. Exxon wants to look like it supports a carbon tax, but appearances can be deceiving. And Exxon is expert at that. — PolitiTweet.org

As author of a carbon fee bill, I see no evidence that @exxonmobil “supports ... a carbon tax.” https://t.co/qITZmfdUks — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s one thing @facebook should do: when selling political ads, make sure you know who is buying before you sell — the REAL buyer, not some front group or shell corporation. https://t.co/J83wzDP0WT — PolitiTweet.org

Oil major CEOs just agreed with Pope Francis that “effective carbon pricing requires transparency.” That transparency should start with their funding through this decade of top climate obstructers @ShopFloorNAM and @USChamber. https://t.co/64kDmMh4nL — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent piece on ocean plastics by @ecoRI_Frank, just after we launch our new, stronger, marine plastic debris bill. The first one passed easily, so we are upping our game. https://t.co/t9LhIfDJwM — PolitiTweet.org

.@AFPMonline, lobbying against electric vehicle tax credit, says "Our thing is that we would like to have an even playing field." Right, a “level” playing field that ignores carbon pollution. So typical. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow, that takes some brass: "These lawsuits will do nothing to address climate change or its root causes," says the front group for a climate-obstruction front group (yes, they are stacking front groups in front of their front groups now). https://t.co/1OQ0YAb2yD — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are still terrorized by the fossil fuel climate denial apparatus and don’t see many corporate friends ready to help them. Like, the number rounds to zero. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad all you investors are sending out missives to the “governments of the world,” but you’ve been pretty helpless in Congress. https://t.co/shv1VP77nS — PolitiTweet.org

If it helps for @exxonmobil shareholders to know, Exxon isn’t doing squat yet in Congress to help address climate change. And action in Congress is key to success. Here’s the story: https://t.co/qzUntfS6CP — PolitiTweet.org

A perfect day to mark 50 years since the opening of the Newport Bridge. Glad to join @RIEZPASS to celebrate the promise of what the next half century could hold for RI’s most iconic landmark. https://t.co/WmZY3GjUUs — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @lizhempowicz & @BerinSzoka. My bill would deter political interference in law enforcement by shining a light on communications between WH & DOJ. It’s time for a law. As we’ve learned, traditions & norms are quite easily broken…@realDonaldTrump https://t.co/471xjV3F8b — PolitiTweet.org

Reading this, #RI congressional districts would need a lot of seawall spending to protect against sea level rise: Dist. 1 (@davidcicilline) - $842,452,000.00 Dist. 2 (@JimLangevin) - $2,030,097,000.00 Yes, those are billions for RI-2, not my typo. https://t.co/jDsSl2hYVI — PolitiTweet.org
