Friend just sent this: "A tree outside my window is nearly bare. Perhaps it is an image of our national life this morning. We have a choice: to focus on the bare branches or to appreciate the colorful leaves. I suspect I know where your eyes would be." I'm trying. It's hard.

Great conversation with @theprogressive about the harm of billionaire wealth extraction

Walmart now controls 25% of the grocery market. Curbing this kind of monopoly ownership is one of the most important ways to defend ourselves against billionaires. NEW interview with @inequalityorg scholar @Chuck99to1 in @theprogressive: progressive.org/magazine/whos-…

Welcome to the world of Fossil Fuel Philanthropy! Where donors pour hundreds of millions in taxpayer-subsidized dollars into US nonprofits to spread #climate disinformation. @inequalityorg @bdevaan @Chuck99to1 @IPS_DC

NEW: Billionaires invested in fossil fuels are quietly funding groups actively spreading climate misinformation — and getting massive tax breaks for doing so. It's time to end this abuse of philanthropy. REPORT: ips-dc.org/report-fossil-…

Thank you @ssteingraber1 for being part of protests at CitiBank, one of the climatecriminals.org

NYPD arrests scientist @ssteingraber1 at @Citibank: “I’m a biologist, I’ve been studying climate change since 1982 and no one is listening to the data. So today they’re going to have to listen to my body blocking the doors of the world’s largest funder of new fossil fuel…



Wow, what an introduction!

I’d pay good money to have this guy introduce Trump at ALL of his campaign events. 😂😂 twitter.com/SundaeDivine/s…



During the next heatwave, name the climate criminals out loud. Next flood or wildfire smoke in your eyes? Damn those climate criminals! write @Chuck99to1 and Tara Steckler. commondreams.org/opinion/prosec…

VICTORY: Massachusetts environmental officials have REJECTED a push for a huge private jet expansion at a local airport. Though this isn't the end, it's a huge win for thousands who submitted public comments — including findings from our researchers on the harms of private jets.


Watching my @IPS_DC colleague @SarahDAnderson1 testify in front of Senate Budget Committee....making us proud.

Today, the Senate Budget Committee held a hearing on "Making Wall Street Pay Its Fair Share." @SarahDAnderson1 from @IPS_DC talks about tax two-fers - taxing excessive CEO pay, financial transactions, and stock buybacks - to make the economy more fair and curb excessive CEO pay
