Those few on here that know me know that the climate crisis has long been a top issue for me. I’d argue it’s the root of nearly all our problems like scarcity & high prices, health issues, tilt towards authoritarians, over-reliance on tech, emergence of stupid parts of religion, and more.

We must keep this issue, namely the fossil fuel heating problem in our sights. Remind Congress. I don’t care if it’s a ‘losing campaign issue’ it needs to be said. 202-224-3121 Use @resist.bot to send emails and faxes direct. Or text ‘sign PGOBBB’ to 50409 resist.bot/petitions/PG...

Take a look at a globe sometim, snd see how far north Korea is, or parts of Europe. The side effects of the climate emergency are all over the place. Yeah there’s a lot going on, but be an environmental advocate, too. Call Congress.

If everyone voted, we would have been spared all this damage and chaos. That's why the GOP wants to make it so it's very difficult for you to vote. They are counting on your apathy. They are counting on you giving up. Add in all the misinformation and lies to get you to vote red if you do vote, too.

Exactly 3 months from today is the most important midterm election in our lifetime. Our opportunity to hold him accountable. Register to vote here: Iwillvote.com The stakes have never been higher. Show the world the majority of Americans are good, decent, honest people. #VoteBlue🗳️ #RejectMAGA 👎

America won’t win the 21st century by sending our best & brightest back to their home countries, where they’ll build companies that compete against us. My bipartisan Keep Innovators in America Act would protect OPT and keep American-trained talent innovating, building, & creating jobs here at home.

Climate change never ignites a fire. That’s almost always humans or lightning. But it’s clear when we examine the data that climate heating sets the table for fires that burn faster and larger. Since the 1980s temperatures during fire season in the Pacific NW have warmed around 4°F… 1/
