"Humanity is now standing at a crossroads. And when we look back at this crucial time, we want to say we did everything we could to push the world in the right direction." - Greta Thunberg

It's time for Democrats to oust Chuck Schumer from leadership

I've never understood this. If you're a retired engineer and want to teach physics or math, you'll have to go back to school for years before they let you in a classroom -- the fact you're an expert counts for nothing.

Trump has illegally quit the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, a treaty ratified from the Senate. He doesn't have the power. Our statement:

It’s amazing how quickly humans are changing the planet.

That was peak America and it’s been downhill ever since due to hyper partisanship from Republicans with their obstruction politics.

The reason the media don't cover Trump's ignorance and stupidity is because it's not "news." Everyone knows it. But if Democratic leaders would make an issue of it, then it would become news and the media would cover it.

In 2021, the @nytimes did a rare thing. Published analysis of economic outcomes under Dem vs Republican presidents, by David Leonhardt. This was the headline Republicans have never EARNED — via actual outcomes — the branding that they're better at managing budgets or the economy

Let this be the year in which you rebuild your attention span. Big Tech wants you unable to focus on anything for longer than a few seconds. Resist the infinite scroll. Avoid short-form videos. Watch movies without being on your phone. Read voraciously and often.

James Talarico: “The reason poverty exists is not because we can’t feed the poor, it’s because we can’t satisfy the rich. That’s exactly what we’re seeing with Elon Musk become the first trillionaire. This is a spiritual sickness. What leads a person to accumulate more money than

@realDonaldTrump A sitting President of the United States using Christmas Day to spew venom at fellow Americans he calls “Radical Left Scum” isn’t just unpresidential—it’s unhinged, un-Christian, and utterly beneath the office. This is the behavior of a bitter, small man who can’t even pretend to

Donald Trump was only awake for a moment yesterday, when he wished MAGA a Merry Christmas, and called Democrats “radical left scum,” because he’s an ignorant, hateful partisan autocrat, and a deeply disrespectful and divisive troglodyte who’s hellbent on destroying America.

I've seen strong critiques of the @mattyglesias op ed, most notably @SeanCasten's. Another point worth making: The whole essay hinges on the failure to take climate change seriously. Thread:

I was born in 1961 too. And this version of the past is a myth. Kids did have food allergies we just didn’t have the science to name them. I lost a brother before he was two because medicine didn’t yet understand what allergy killed him. Trans kids didn’t “not exist.” They hid.

In the meantime you could sue. Please do.

Good Sunday morning! It’s a full time job believing in yourself. No days off.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating - wishing you a warm, peaceful day full of good company and gratitude. For those not observing, I hope you have a restful and enjoyable day however you spend it. Today's sunrise from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

History will harshly judge the failure of our legal/political system to hold Trump accountable for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election (including his sponsorship of Jan6). So many culprits: Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, Republicans in Congress, and yes, 77 million voters.

This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost.

Good Tuesday morning! When quitting sounds easy, ask what you’ll lose if you stop and what you’ll lose if you stay. Often the cost of leaving is bigger. #sunrise
