Climate change.
Abortion access.
Gun violence prevention.

It’s all on the line.

Vote NO on the Republican led recall by September 14.
There’s too much at stake to sit this out.
Global warming will get progressively worse and cannot be stopped over the next 30 years, a major new UN report has concluded, because the world's nations delayed so long in curbing emissions. A hotter future is now essentially locked in.https://t.co/tMnu8VJMpo

According to the new IPCC report, the carbon budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current emissions rate. Maybe someone should ask the people in power how they plan to “solve” that?

The new IPCC report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands previous studies and reports - that we are in an emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) summary of the current best available science. 1/2

If Garland doesn’t at least meaningfully investigate criminality around the Trump-Clark coup attempt - and there’s no sign he is - then we’ll be left with public reporting, Congressional findings, an IG report, and no consequences remotely sufficient for a coup attempt.

Something is deeply wrong with a society where even a prolonged crisis and daily mass death isn’t enough to make us change our relationship to work and capital.

Let’s get one thing straight: the cost of the Green New Deal is far less than the cost of losing our planet to the climate crisis.

Biden picked a climate czar who flies private. It’s all a joke. They don’t even care about the issue.
