I have a Masters degree in Leadership and like to cheer on the good guys. We need a court for crimes against the planet and a Professional College to regulate journalism.
I support a #BlueStateNation to end #USRussia.

Metro Surge is ending, and that’s good news.
But we have a long road to recovery. Our small businesses, workers, and children have felt the strain. Now it’s time to ensure this never happens again.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions

A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.

Only Donald Trump could appoint such an incompetent unhinged disgraceful loser to one of the most important positions in the govt and then keep her in that position despite overwhelming evidence that she is blatantly unfit. Will the cowardly Rs in Congress speak up? No way.
