NYC: Five hours left to honor our heroes

Son called today to say he was going to a protest in NY to provide bottled water and take first aid kits. Proud of that kid. But, when he told me that he had written my telephone number on his arm “just in case,” I damn near cried. Why do our babied have to even think abt this?!

Another victory for democracy and fair elections.

Wow. Kenya is planting trees with seed balls covered in charcoal dust to keep animals from eating them and to fight #climatechange and combat #deforestation. We have the solutions, let's get busy and #ActOnClimate. #ClimateAction #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal

Kangaroos seeking refuge on residential streets in Australia. Every day we wait to address climate change we hurt people, animals, and the planet. No time to wait, no planet B. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #go100re #GreenNewDeal

South Korea, built this bike lane covered by #solar panels. Cyclists are isolated from traffic, protected from the sun, and produces #cleanenergy at the same time! We have the solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate #Climate #energy #cdnpoli #GreenNewDeal #COP25 #COP25Madrid

Take a look at this piece to understand the very real consequences of gerrymandering. In Asheville, NC, we see what happens when district lines are drawn for maximum partisan advantage: It mean citizens’ voices are diminished. It means more polarization.

Never believe that you're too small to make a difference. This farmer planted one tree every day for 37 years and transformed a chopped down barren land in Majuli Island, India to a wildlife paradise. We have the solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate #deforestation

Thank you, @ADL, for your International Leadership Award. My message: if we want to stop hate, we have to regulate Facebook and social media - the greatest propaganda machine in history. My full speech here:

I’ll never forget that moment when Susan Collins took to the floor and invoked sacred civil rights and women’s health cases when announcing her vote for Brett Kavanaugh.

One of the first reader comments on this column, here in full: "Kamala's hot. Gillibrand's not bad. Big improvement over Shrillary."

CNN commentator Scott Jennings regularly bashes the Green New Deal for what it would do to energy and agriculture. Neither Jennings nor CNN disclose that his firm represents a power company, petroleum supplier association, and farm bureau. Full report:
