thank you! I've been watching his channel hoping for a new video. He did not disappoint. FYI, he's coming to Portland and Seattle early June!

our current president has inflicted chaos and confusion, freezing billions in clean energy investments that create jobs and lower costs, firing experts and workers and blocking protections that save lives. Congress must #StandStrongForClimate

Remember, this chaos and demoralization is by design. Don’t let it ruin your weekend- take time to regroup, find joy and come back ready to hold the line.

Cheers to dragging our feet on finding adequate office space for the next four years 🤗

Folks, I'm noticing the haters are already in here spreading lies. Please report these when you see them, before blocking.

I just did a search for that and these are the only accounts that came up using the word National. What are they calling themselves in accounts? I figured it's a matter of time before the creepers and scammers start to infiltrate. Maybe report the account before blocking?
