Yes please.
The planet is on fire, and our hair should be on fire about this!
We need to move faster to deploy, deploy, deploy clean energy and make our communities more resilient.

The voice of a moral giant.
The “bipartisan” infrastructure deal couldn’t spare even $1 for housing. But @SenShelby wants to add $50 billion for the Pentagon: $25 billion for Navy shipyards, billions for nuclear labs, and more. That $50 billion could pay for 5.6 million public housing units.

Green renewable energy carries more than enough power to provide a sustainable future. We need to foster and fund it!

If we don’t stop fossil fuel production NOW, where will our grandchildren be able to live? Just asking.

Once again, the idea that you care more than we for the people around you is preposterous. Just propaganda you’ve been give to distract you from the meanness and greed that dominate far right wing policies.

First of all, no it wasn’t. Read the constitution. Also, liberals and progressives don’t want “compassionate citizenship” any less than you do. We just want compassionate policies as well.

Please listen! An important conversation with @ChipGibbons89, Policy director at Defending Rights and Dissent, about Julian Assange, the free press, Espionage Act, J. Edgar Hoover, Daniel Hale and more. Crucial stuff. youtube.com/ZA8tgNijAY4

Given that I ran against him and then endorsed Bernie, I was hardly a champion of all his policies. I did champion defeating Trump however, which I would do again. And unlike Trump I think Biden can be moved. Trump is a climate change denier, remember.

Anger is like the white sugar of political activism; an adrenaline high but then you crash. Doesn’t sustain itself except at cost to personality and effectiveness. It’s a jumpstart yes, but the true nourishment of inspiration works better over the long run.

When the operating principle that guides public policy becomes serving the people and serving the planet as exposed to exploiting the people and exploiting the planet, the miracles that follow will stun us all.

Cancel the college loan debt; it should never have been there to begin with. #FreeCollege and free technical schools is an idea whose time has come.
Today I wrote about the extension of the student loan payment pause, which uses the same authority from the same legislation and in the same subsection of the U.S. Code that would be used to cancel student loan debt.
