“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.”

Ever since day one of his second term, Trump has used ‘national emergencies’ to bypass Congress and rule by decree. This week, the Supreme Court will weigh in, and if it sides with him, the decision could pave the way for unchecked presidential power and a slide toward autocratic rule in the U.S.

Tomorrow’s argument before SCOTUS is about far more than Trump’s illegal tariffs

Nearly 500 million hectares of forests have been lost since 1990.

The good news? The latest data shows that deforestation is slowing across every region.

1/5 of forests are now protected, but the world must keep the momentum going.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.
Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.

Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.

If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

One global pact quietly changed the course of our planet’s future.

Not only did it help heal the ozone layer, but it’s also reversing the impacts of climate change.

Wondering how? Our article explains: www.unep.org/news-and-sto... #WorldOzoneDay
The Montreal Protocol has led to the phase-out of 99% of ozone-depleting substances, while simultaneously protecting the planet from warming and reversing some of the effects of climate change.

The land we live on does more than feed us—it helps in cooling our planet by absorbing harmful emissions.

Human activities are upsetting this balance, but together we can change the story.

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public?

Yeah, me neither.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.

The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely. 

Do not.
