We are witnessing a tipping point. Boreal forests that stored carbon for 1000s of years are now CARBON EMITTERS. Heatwaves make wildfires. Wildfires make more heat. More heat makes more fires. This feedback loop is what scientists warned you about.

Mitch McConnell is currently doing what he did to Merrick Garland—using subterfuge to keep a government job from being filled before an election. It's just that he doesn't know it. Because he's dead.

House Republicans have approved funds to restrict your vote. They passed a filibuster-proof funding bill that bypasses Democratic opposition to 'provide up to $10 billion to enforce severe new voting restrictions championed by Mr. Trump.' The number for the Senate switchboard is (202) 224-3121

Speaker Johnson frames reconciliation as debt reduction. It cuts taxes for the wealthy and slashes healthcare for everyone else. That's not debt reduction. That's redistribution. #FundHealthcareNotWars

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
