Comms for changemakers. I don't tell stories, I tell facts. I got Disney to vow to electrify Autopia. Co-founder Nat Drive Electric Month. Dodgers--quit shilling for Phillips 66. Sigma Gamma Rho #onemillionrising
Thanks to NPR's Camila Domonoske for this holiday gift: She gave #EV drivers equal time by citing the price of electricity along with the price of gas. EVs charged at home are up to 60% cheaper to fuel than polluting vehicles. Also worth reporting: no tune ups, oil changes, smog checks. No hoax.

Terrible to think we have to urge anyone to just talk about the existential threat of our time. But we do. What effective framing have you used?
Wrote about why I think it's a bad idea — politically and otherwise — that none of California's gubernatorial candidates want to talk about climate change. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/climate-go...

Sportswashing is a global scourge. The world is already eyeing L.A. more closely--with the #FIFAWorldCup coming next year, then the Olympics in '28. Will the Dodgers do the right thing and lead by example? Or continue to advertise for #BigOil? Every day counts. #StopBurningStuff
I grew up in LA and always thought of the Dodgers as my team. Join me in telling them to stop sportswashing Big Oil sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...
Dodgers: End your sponsorship deal with Big Oil giant Phillips 66 NOW!
The Dodgers claim to understand the need to act on climate change, but align w/ Big Oil giant Phillips 66, owner of the 76 gas station brand, whose logo & ads are emblazoned throughout Dodger Stadium. Sign to demand the Dodgers end the sponsorship NOW ⬇️

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

During the Palisades fire, hydrants lost pressure and ran dry. A nearby reservoir was empty for repairs. After a review, state officials found that even if the reservoir had been full, the water system still would have been quickly overwhelmed and lost pressure. www.latimes.com/environment/...

When you pump, you support Trump.
He's a big deal in the world of EV advocacy. Nowadays, you can find Plug In America co-founder Paul Scott during rush hour in front of an Arco in Santa Monica telling drivers that their tank of gas fuels Donald Trump.
