The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated.
Why not? Most feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. So more fear won't activate them. Rather, knowing what to do—and being invited to do it—will.

It’s #EarthDay — but some folks still treat our planet like it’s disposable.
Let’s be real: Black and Brown communities feel the impact of environmental neglect first and worst.
I’m fighting for clean air, safe water, and a livable future for all of us.

Today, we’re voting on what Republicans are calling the “SAVE Act”—but let’s be real, it’s a straight-up voter suppression bill.
They are literally trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to vote.
I’m voting NO—hell no, actually.

We demand that @aveloair.bsky.social halt plans to carry out deportation flights in cooperation with the Trump Administration. We pledge to boycott the airline until they stop plans to profit off ICE flights that are tearing families and communities apart.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
