I know our politics is dysfunctional but I’m counting on America to reject puppy murder as a tool for electoral advancement

Surely there’s a bottom somewhere

A HUGE thank you to Brief But Spectacular for featuring Bill McKibben and #ThirdAct this week!

One of the best books I’ve read in a long time is Ghosted by Nancy French
I think it’s mostly about kindness, and I wish people of many political persuasions would read it

For those who wonder what Vermont's senior senator Bernie Sanders does when not fomenting revolution etc,

The last of these videos from some old guy, courtesy of the great team at Brief But Spectacular
This is the one to show your older friends, in hopes they’ll join us at Third Act
Because nothing happens if we don’t join together to fight!

Only living soul who can make energy codes irresistible and have fun doing it:

Some Third Actors have been at this the whole lives--and many are just taking up the climate fight now!
A great video of four first time activists! Third Act

An old guy explains why it would be neat if our planet decided to rely on the sun for its power, thus cleaning the air, disempowering oligarchs, and blunting some of the climate damage.
Also, almost everyone likes solar power, so that's good

The rocking chairs are back!
So glad to see Third Act in action outside the banks in DC and NYC!!! You guys shut them down for the day--true heroes!

Among other enviro achievements, the Biden admin stood up to the National Homebuilders Assoc today and declared that even poor people should have decent, efficient, cheaper-to-operate homes.

Good to see all the Third Actors Third Act in the protests outside Citibank today. Here's Sheldon Pollock, a resolute face if there ever was one!
#PeopleVsCiti

Citibank bankers seem to be getting the message this morning--your employer is one of the world's biggest funders of climate destruction.

BREAKING: Absolute CHAOS at Citibank this morning as climate activists shut down one of the world’s biggest financiers of fossil fuels.

Thousands of bankers stranded outside. Arrests starting.

We’re bringing the crisis to their doorstep.

If you've ever had trouble explaining to people why climate change is not just important but *urgent*, this video with some old guy might be useful.

The nation is lucky to have Bernie Sanders and so is Vermont!
Without him, this huge step forward for affordable solar never would have happened.

'On the list of problems we'd like to have, free clean electricity is fairly high'

'California has now generated >100% of its power needs from sun, wind, and hydro for big parts of almost every day this spring'
