As we sign off, we leave you with a photo from our manure action outside the White House, summing up our response to where things stand today - with Twitter, with politics, with the state of our planet. See you on Blue Sky 💚 With love and rage.

Extinction Rebellion DC is leaving X and moving to Blue Sky. Follow us there as we continue to use nonviolent direct action to demand an end to the systems of oppression and injustice that are driving us towards societal collapse. https://t.co/fPbpZ34shT

FEAR. GRIEF. RAGE. LOVE. With climate deniers in power, ecosystems collapse & species vanish But hope, love & solidarity are stronger than any leader or system Don’t face the crisis alone - links in bio to join #LoveRageRebel Food for thought: @xr_dc_ https://t.co/LuiA0dybMD

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and

And to sum it up: We need you. You have far more power than simply putting a ballot in a box. And when we link arms and stand in our power together, we can—and we will—force the system to change. Only we can save us.

So we wrote something about it, to offer some food for thought that hopefully helps ground us in collective power rather than get swept away in the fear-based election rhetoric. Check it out:

Regardless of who wins tomorrow, we’ll keep fighting, because the system causing climate chaos, ecological destruction, and genocide will still be in place. #ClimateCrisis #Election2024 #ClimateEmergency

This Halloween, @washingtongas is giving ALL tricks, and NO treats And YOU can help us fight back! Tell @DC_PSC to reject Washington Gas' latest $215 million plan to use gas customer $$$ for its toxic, polluting methane gas pipelines: https://t.co/C3xsyevoYi

Rebels disrupted @washingtongas twice, citing fact after fact about toxic impacts of methane gas. The only thing made safe by Washington Gas is corporate profits. There is no room for methane in a clean energy future. #StopProjectPipes #EndMethane #ElectrifyDC

For some odd reason, @washingtongas was on a clean energy panel at the @DC_PSC Clean Energy Summit, despite Washington Gas solely dealing in dirty fossil fuels. There was no way we could let Washington Gas openly spread its lies. So we showed up.

@DC_PSC DC is watching you. Stop Project Pipes!

Now, @washingtongas is back with a new plan, a rebranded Project Pipes, to lock DC into decades of dependence on dirty fossil fuels. @DC_PSC, will you give a treat to the kids of DC by rejecting this new plan? Will you do the right thing again and stop Project Pipes?

Rebels had a message for @DC_PSC Chairman: You made the right decision in June to reject @washingtongas’ Project Pipes, an overly expensive, gas-customer-funded effort to replace all methane gas pipelines in DC.

BREAKING: Rebels disrupt DC Clean Energy Summit demanding @DC_PSC keep doing the right thing and reject @washingtongas’ multi-million dollar spending request for its dirty, toxic methane gas project #StopProjectPipes #EndMethane #ElectrifyDC

The latest data is in: gas stoves are still terrible for your health ☠️ The study found residents were “twice as likely to die prematurely from exposure to gas stove pollutants than from a car crash.” More from @nytimes:

🚨This Friday!🚨 Join XRDC's own Terri Chapman for a discussion on building a movement, part of the Transatlantic Forum for Environmental and Climate Justice's daylong workshop:

There is no place for methane gas in a clean energy future, no matter how @washingtongas brands it. #EndMethane #ElectrifyDC #StopProjectPipes

Together, we can harness our collective power and make @washingtongas pay what it owes. Join us:

It’s all smoke and mirrors so @washingtongas can keep us hooked on methane gas for decades to come, polluting the air we breathe and worsening the climate crisis that endangers our loved ones while its corporate executives rake in millions.

Rather than take responsibility for harming our health and accelerating our descent into climate chaos, @washingtongas promotes individual actions so it can protect its bottom line.
