Finally, a good and powerful response from a dem elected official (combined with action! see the thread)
Today, the president said some of the most racist, vile shit I’ve ever heard said out loud about our Somali neighbors, friends, and family members. And it’s not just words—he also launched new attacks on our community because we’ve dared to try to build an inclusive, multiracial society.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

One of my favorite Jane Goodall comments: that “greed is the biggest problem facing humanity. All our problems come down to greed.” When I first read it, I thought it was an oversimplification and overstatement, I was ready to argue. The longer I live, the more I see she was right. RIP Jane.

How are people feeling NY Climate week this year? I’m seeing reports from friends that it’s a dystopian departure from climate goals AND that it’s unusually inspiring and upbeat. Likely depends on which room you’re in and how close to the leadership, but I’m curious of the community take here.

My quote of the day
At any moment, an old world is passing and a new world is coming into being. We have sharper eyes for the fall than the rise because the old world is the one we know.

At this point, there is no guarantee what we'll do (if anything), but we want to keep our options open by collecting names. If you have any further questions, feel free to email me.
We are primarily looking for Ph.D. scientists at universities or government labs in appropriate fields. I realize that this will exclude some qualified people and I apologize, but we felt this was necessary for a variety of reasons.

Climate change is a by-product of progress in the same way as obesity is a by-product of nutrition. For goodness sakes, it's the 21st century! We have the technology to enjoy progress without trashing the planet.
“Yes, atmospheric CO2 has increased over time—but so has life expectancy,” writes Chris Wright. In a guest essay America’s energy secretary invites the world to rethink renewable energy

here’s where I am on this
Legitimately feel sick. We are hours away from the largest cuts to low-income people in history. People’s lives will be ruined. It is so unfair. It’s unfair to be born into a system that allows this level of poverty in the first place and it’s evil to rip away aid from the needy. Hard to watch this.

I agree - impressive.
This seems like a really strong campaign launch video. No idea her other policy positions, but an impressive first impression.
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.
Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

I was chatting with an elderly woman who had a diplomatic life in tough places and times - North Korea, Afghanistan, Balkans. She said people are going to start getting physically ill across society, especially kids. Doctors will be overwhelmed. So our job now is to smile and project joy. 😔

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
