screenshot of text: Do remember to tell people, when you write your article, that the most important message today is that every single day, each one of us lives, we make some impact on the planet, and we can choose what sort of impact we make; what we buy, what we wear, where does it come from? Did it harm the environment when it was made? Did it lead to cruelty to animals like terrible factory farms? Is it cheap because of child slave labor? If we start making ethical choices every day, millions and billions of us, we move towards a better world and a world of citizens who will push governments to make the ethical decisions themselves.

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

"It is not just, for instance, that Kirk held disagreeable views—that he was pro-life, that he believed in public executions, or that he rejected the separation of church and state. It’s that Kirk reveled in open bigotry."

President Donald Trump has floated the idea that if undocumented farmworkers returned home, they could come back to the U.S. “with a pass” to “legally” re-enter the country. But over the years, the promises of H-2A have been undermined.

Trump's war on wind power has one very big exception The president's sons are using scare clean energy to mine for bitcoins.

President Trump hates wind power. But as his administration halts wind projects around the country, Trump's sons appear to be an exception to their father's war on wind.

Reflections on the Death of Charlie Kirk Empathy in a not so empathetic time is not a sign of weakness -- but of humanity

My candid thoughts on the death of Charlie Kirk.

As a Muslim, I’ve received an onslaught of hate from Kirk supporters who believed his disinformation about Islam and Muslims. Yet, I do not rejoice in his death. At all. So why have empathy for those who show none?

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
