DENY DECIEVE DELAY #lafires #corruption

🚨BREAKING🚨 Young people arrested while protesting the nomination of fracking CEO Chris Wright, who Trump has nominated to run the Department of Energy. We all deserve a government that works for our future, not greedy CEOs and their profits, and our generation is going to keep fighting back until we get it. Chris Wright bought his cabinet nomination with a half million dollar donation to Trump so that he and his fellow fossil fuel CEOs can screw over working people for profit and burn, flood, and poison our communities with no consequences. As L.A. burns, tell your Senators to reject Chris Wright. smvmt.org/wright

Billionaires and their bought out politicians literally do not care if we live or die. They see the climate disasters that we’re suffering through, which they know will keep getting worse as long as our government supports oil and gas corporations. They just don’t care. These people won’t save us, but movements can. Money and influence might rule our political system today, but they can’t protect the rich and powerful when the tides of public outrage start to rise. If you’re ready to fight back, join the Sunrise Movement. It’s time to stop cooperating with a system that’s killing us. smvmt.org/welcome #palisadesfire #climatechange #losangeles #genz

Oil and gas billionaires knew over 50 years ago that their corporations cause climate change and would lead to fires like those sweeping through Los Angeles. Even today, they are fighting tooth and nail to strangle renewable energy, expand oil and gas drilling, and keep the $757 BILLION dollars in yearly handouts that our government pays them. They might burn down our homes, but they can’t kill our spirit. Fuck them. We refuse to accept a government greased by fossil fuel bribes, and we refuse to let billionaires and their bought out politicians torch our futures. They can’t stop us if enough people refuse to cooperate with an unjust, broken system. Time to shut it down. Join our mass call tonight to learn more and find your place in our movement: smvmt.org/welcome #lafire #losangeles #climatechange

fascism thrives on us being divided and defeated. join a movement 😘

Thom Tillis has pocketed hundreds of thousands from billionaires and corporations while leading GOP attacks on working people. This week, he’s kicking off his 2026 reelection bid with — you guessed it — a fundraiser. We weren’t invited, so Sunrise volunteers met him on the Hill to ask a few questions.

Donald Trump wants to gut the Dept of Education so his billionaire donor pals get a tax break. We can’t let that happen. smvmt.org/mcmahon #genz #school #education #billionairesshouldntexist

Replying to @Jbeautiful she came back to the hearing on Thursday 🤭

Donald Trump wants to gut the Dept of Education so his billionaire donor pals get a tax break. That means: large class sizes, lost Pell grants, cutting the funding to make schools safe and green, and slashing support for students with disabilities. They’re trying to bring us back to when education was a privilege of the rich. He’s nominating Linda McMahon — a billionaire WWE executive — to run the Department of Education into the ground. She’s reckless and unqualified, and she’s currently being sued by ring boys for refusing to take action to stop reports of sexual abuse by management. Her Senate hearing is today — and yes, we’re listening. It’s bad. Email your Senators today to let them know where constituents stand. Demand that all Senators vote NO. Tell Democrats to use their power and derail this nomination process. smvmt.org/mcmahon

Climate change has just claimed 9,000 homes and structures in the historically Black town of Altadena, CA. The news cycle has moved on, but the disaster hasn’t… Many of Altadena’s longstanding residents are Black families who have managed to build generational wealth through homeownership (81% of Altadena’s Black residents own their own homes, which is double the national average). As these families return to the charred remains of their homes and businesses, many are asking: how will this tight-knit community rebuild, and what impact will this disaster have on Altadena’s legacy of Black culture, history, and security? One thing is certain: when we lose everything, we shouldn’t be on our own. We deserve a government that shows up for our communities in times of crisis – not just in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, but in the long, expensive process of rebuilding. We deserve a government that holds fossil fuel billionaires accountable for the decades they have spent deceiving the public and buying out politicians, which they always knew would cause climate change (and which they also knew would make them rich). At any moment, climate change could rip apart the lives and the communities we each hold dear.
