Celebrity chefs want to kill @benallenca.bsky.social's #SB682 that would ban dangerous PFAS from cookware in California. These chefs either sell or endorse cookware lines that use these ‘forever chemicals’, putting their personal profits over public health.

California’s legislature must act now to reauthorize a strong cap-and-invest program. This is a necessary tool for the state to meet its climate goals and continue its world-leading climate programs.

Cap-and-invest needs renewal to keep progress

#caleg should fix SB 131 asap!

CEQA Works @ceqaworks.bsky.social · Aug 7

Toxic industries shouldn’t get a free pass. SB 131’s exemption for “advanced manufacturing” threatens groundwater & public health, especially in communities already burdened by pollution. Lawmakers must fix this. Read more from Deja McCauley via Maven’s Notebook.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.
