If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

The time to act is NOW.
Thank you, @gomez.house.gov, for standing up for families and the economy! Your leadership protecting programs that allow people to go to work, raise kids, and contribute to our communities like Medicaid, Headstart & Childcare, Social Security, nutrition & more is essential. @momsrising.org #MomSky
Rallied with @MomsRising and activists to push back on the GOP budget — tax breaks for billionaires paid for by cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and programs working families rely on. I know from organizing: when we fight together, we win.

@svtgroup.bsky.social listening to Colgate, $75bn market cap and Fortune 500 company, talking about its net zero plans which appear entirely unphased by the political noise. “The traditional accounting methods of ROI don’t incentivize” movement in the right direction.

The current administration is “doing sustainability efforts a favor” by forcing us to get more ‘focused on articulating value drivers.’ Head of Colgate’s head of Sustainability estimates the firm has saved $1 billion due to energy efficiency measures as one example of its sustainability initiatives.
