Swear Her In! This needs to be a rallying cry!

DemCast USA @demcast.com · 4d

Rep-elect Grijalva won her election TWO weeks ago, yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in.

Why? Because she would be the last signature needed on the Epstein vote.

Read this piece to find out more about how you can support your local librarians and favorite authors!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost @frost.house.gov · 5d

Last week, Republicans in Congress shut down the government…then skipped town to go on vacation.

Democrats are ready to reopen government — and standing ten toes down to protect health care.

Here’s what’s really happening and how it impacts Central Floridians.

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act.

Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

A map of the world showing how levels of worry in most countries are greater than 70%. Source: Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, International Public Opinion on Climate Change, 2023.

Nice to have some Good News about climate protections and local/state rights.

Gov. Bob Ferguson @governorferguson.bsky.social · 5d

Voters upheld the Climate Commitment Act by a landslide last year.

Today, the Supreme Court shot down a legal challenge.

As the federal government is abandoning critical climate protections, Washington's leadership is needed now more than ever. This is an important win.

Supreme Court shoots down challenge to WA carbon market

A natural gas power plant in Grays Harbor County had sued over the state's keystone climate policy.

Find your tribe.
The right people for your soul: hear you differently, show up differently,
support you differently,
and nourish you differently.
That's how you'll know.

I couldn’t sleep, so I watched his speech again. And then I made this because, honestly, I’m going to need the reminder. Maybe you will, too.
