Today, we're announcing America's Clean Power Plan—the most important step we've ever taken to combat climate change. Here are the facts:
—
President Obama (@POTUS) August 03, 2025

Levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere are higher than they’ve been in 800,000 years. 2014 was the planet’s warmest year on record.
—
President Obama (@POTUS) August 03, 2025

***

Right now, power plants account for about one-third of America’s carbon pollution. That’s more than our cars, airplanes, and homes combined.
—
President Obama (@POTUS) August 03, 2025

It's time to change that. With the Clean Power Plan, by 2030, carbon pollution from power plants will be 32% lower than it was a decade ago.

Thanks to this plan, there will be 90,000 fewer asthma attacks among our kids and we'll avoid 3,600 premature deaths in 2030.
—
President Obama (@POTUS) August 03, 2025

Despite what the critics will tell you, this plan will ultimately save the average American family nearly $85 a year on their energy bills.

I refuse to condemn our kids to a planet that's beyond fixing. Let's meet this challenge and #ActOnClimate together.

President Obama (@POTUS) August 03, 2025

We owe it to our kids to act on climate change. Here's our #CleanPowerPlan. It's the biggest step we've ever taken. snpy.tv/1STbXjG

Politicians are lying when they say taxpayer dollars are being used to fund abortion and that’s why they need to #DefundPlannedParenthood.

All these racist-ass white people keening about black babies like you give a shit. You’re not fooling anyone. Leave me the hell alone.

Sanger was problematic af, but she never wrote that she wanted to exterminate Black ppl. It’s just so absurd how many ppl believe that crap.

We can talk about how Sanger allied herself with racist eugenicists in order to promote birth control, but stop lying about what she said.
—
Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) July 31, 2025

If you want a full and nuanced discussion of Sanger and her problematic allyship & beliefs, read Killing the Black Body by @DorothyERoberts.

I am certainly not claiming that Sanger did not have problematic and racist views about Black people.
—
Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) July 31, 2025

Nor am I disputing that she cut ties with feminists and joined up with racist eugenicists in order to promote her birth control agenda.
—
Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) July 31, 2025

****

But what she did not do is endeavor to “exterminate the Negro population.” And if you believe that, you’ve been lied to. The end.
—
Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) July 31, 2025

Sanger was actually ANTI-abortion. But the forced birth liars don’t really want to talk about that. It doesn’t fit their narrative about PP.

Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) July 31, 2025

And in any event, none of this has anything to do with what services Planned Parenthood provides today. In 2015.
