It’s truly astonishing what we are all living through in these moments.

I hope that we’ll all be ok somehow.

Those $750 amounts are almost more infuriating than the $0 😝

I wonder what these numbers would look like if taking China out of the calculation entirely? I’ve read that they installed more solar last year than the rest of the world combined?

Or put another way — China installed more solar in just one year than the U.S. has in its entire history.

I’m an atheist but practically everything the religious zealots claim to be, but aren’t. Work hard, married 20 years, never cheated, two amazing kids, not an outlaw, pulled myself up by bootstraps, put myself through college, volunteer in my community, care for my family- but I pay my fucking taxes.

Indeed. My daughter had an IEP from elementary through middle school— now she’s a brilliant college student with perfect grades. The dedication and talents of SPED Teachers and programs cannot be underestimated.

Millions of kids rely on these funds!

This authoritarian government is so awful.

GENOCIDE HAS STOPPED BECAUSE OF YOU — NOT BECAUSE THE MANIACS ARE HEROES OF PEACE — THEY ARE NOT.

YOUR PROTESTS AND OUTRAGE AGAINST THE SLAUGHTER OF SO MANY HAVE STOPPED THE KILLING.

THIS IS A WIN FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

THIS IS NOT A WIN FOR THE GENOCIDAL MANIACS.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!
