3/ Both situations reflect the way we’re dealing with climate change. The problem is urgent, the warnings are there, yet we’re acting on it with the speed of swimming through a vat of molasses. At the rate we’re going our descendants will say, “They knew but no one did anything.”

2/ More than 150 people died when an apartment building collapsed in Miami this week. A 2018 engineer’s report had warned of “major structural damage” to the building but no one had acted on the report. They knew but no one did anything.

1/ 7 crew members died the 1986 space shuttle Challenger disaster. The problem was O-rings that failed at launch. Some of the engineers worried about the O-rings but didn’t speak out. They knew but no one did anything.

This was true in a case I was very close to.
Cops in the U.S. are entirely free to lie to kids in interrogations.
They can even imply a child will be allowed to go home if they simply confess. trib.al/BCwbpDZ

How can you help? We assume you already visited this link and told your members of congress to save our lives and set a federal heat standard. If you did, now send it to your friends.

God bless him and all firefighters who are facing such a rough year this year. I hope they know how much gratitude people feel for them.

That kind of cynicism will not get us anything but what we have now, or worse. I know firsthand how they sideline progressives, but we just have to get there inch by inch. We can and we will.

If we want different policies, we need a different kind of policymaker (NOT the corporate-backed crowd). Please do what you can to support progressive primary candidates NOW so they can make their campaigns competitive. Every little bit helps! Candidatesummit.com
