For #ClimateAction , I somehow missed this The New York Times article last year. This is very good news that the #CleanEnergy Future is happening faster than we think. Please share & post. To reduce #climate change threat, we just have to transition faster. #climate nytimes.com/interactive/20…

For our #democracy , I am proudly voting for President Biden Joe Biden in the November 5th election. His #BuildBackBetter is making a difference in my life such as this improved red MAX TriMet light train that Tanya Couture and I use to go to the airport and travel around Portland OR.

“A dictatorship is again waging a war of atrocity in Europe. Although a long queue of Republicans will be eager to travel to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, their voting record is on the other side of the great issues at stake, then and now.” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Together we call upon Congress to do the right thing. Speaker Mike Johnson Steve Scalise. Ukrainians are fighting for their existence. Ukrainians are also fighting for our safety and for everyone's freedom. We should not let our allies down.
Read the letter linked in thread, signed…

I'm going to post this video every day until the election

For our #democracy , I am enjoying reading Senator Jeff Merkley’s new book, “Filibustered! How to Fix the Broken Senate and Save America.”

This week, Governor Youngkin refused to sign a bill to protect access to contraception. Instead, he gutted the bill’s protections for IUDs, birth control, and emergency contraceptives.

As the next Governor of Virginia, I will defend the right to contraception for all Virginians.

Nearly every climate denial argument I’ve ever heard falls into one of these five categories.

1 - it’s not real
2 - it’s not us
3 - it’s not bad
4 - it’s too hard/costly to fix
5 - it’s too late

And you know which is growing the fastest these days? The last one 😳

I shared my story with Rolling Stone this weekend - read my exclusive op-ed here: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

NBC's framing is spot on: 'Trump and Mike Johnson zero in on noncitizen voting. It’s already illegal and very rare.'

Any outlet that reports the first sentence without emphasizing the second sentence is doing it wrong nbcnews.com/politics/elect…

Giving people money has profound impacts. Most people no longer live off the land where we can gather our food. We need money to live. #ClimateIncome a.k.a. #CarbonRebate is a stepping stone to #BasicIncome
It's time to #celebrate the 🇨🇦 #CarbonRebate

Too obvious perhaps to need saying:

Republicans don’t have a problem with non-citizens voting, since there are no non-citizens voting.

Republicans have a problem with black and brown citizens voting.

Both Israel and Ukraine, two U.S. allies, are under attack. Both allies are fighting a war for the West, but without all the tools they need, because the Republicans Speaker Mike Johnson GOP House Republicans have blocked military aid for six months.

Given what we know of Russian intentions and European investigations, the presumption has to be that some US legislators are on the Russian payroll. Nice analysis here. newrepublic.com/article/180630…

There’ll be a lot of debate over whether this attack on Israel would’ve happened with someone else in the White House.

Let’s not forget: America’s adversaries are also watching Congress’ inaction. Iran sees a House failing to pass aid to Israel & Ukraine & is attacking both.

Oh I see. The ideal date for the authoritarian to have elections: never.

Please read if you want to understand the stakes right now in Ukraine. The attack on the country's civilian infrastructure right now, this week, is the worst since the war began

Good recent Al Franken podcast talking w/ Rachel Bitecofer 🗽💡🔭🦆 Justin Barasky about the messaging that the Democratic Party and all of us must do to win the November 5th election and keep our #democracy . podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dem…

I just finished “How We Win the Civil War” Steve Phillips . I highly recommend how it talks about how we are still in a Civil War over #democracy vs. white supremacy. It shows how activists in Georgia, Arizona, Virginia, California, and Texas successfully fought back.
