☀️Hopeful news: While the U.S. may be backsliding on clean energy, renewable sources have now overtaken coal globally for the first time in history.

This is "a crucial turning point," experts say. 🌎🔋

We are horrified and deeply saddened by the killing of political commentator Charlie Kirk and are holding his loved ones in the Light. In the wake of this traumatic act of political violence, let us commit to seeing the humanity in one another, and to loving all of our neighbors without exception.

It is infuriating that the Trump admin is instituting a full or partial travel ban from 19 countries where people are in the most need. Having visited Myanmar, DRC, and Laos, I can say for sure that there are many people in these countries that would make America better.

But now, as more people are forced from their homes than ever, the Trump admin has closed the door to freedom for millions.
It's not an immigrant invasion. It's people fleeing for their lives — and freedom.
