Ohio didnโ€™t just become the regionโ€™s fracking-waste dump โ€” it was engineered that way. With 232+ injection wells, fast-track permitting & outdated safety rules, the state is taking in millions of gallons of toxic waste.

A fair, independent judiciary is what stands between us and corruption. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s critical to show up on Election Day, November 4, and vote YES to retain our Supreme Court Justices. โœ… Donโ€™t wait โ€” think ahead about how youโ€™ll vote, where, and when! #ProtectPACourts ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ#Vote

Tonight is the final night of the Ferris Wheel on the Clemente Bridge in #Pittsburgh, so here is one last set of images from a few days ago. It was such a fun atmosphere down on the bridge, and I hope it becomes a yearly event.

As a lot of us have been saying for a long time, Donald Trump and his team are blatantly racist. Itโ€™s a pattern: Black officials get fired and the jobs go to white people. #racism
