The text of the IPCC 1.5C report conclusion: Every action matters, every bit of warming matters, every year matters, every choice matters.

And what does the science say? It is clear. We must phase out fossil fuels not for the sake of the planet, but to ensure a livable future for us all. And "all" includes the inhabitants of those countries who prevented this phrase from being included in the final agreement.

Trump has ordered a massive military buildup in the Caribbean.

After months of lethal strikes at sea, Trump is threatening to expand this illegal unauthorized war to Venezuela.

We don’t need another war. We need health care for all.

How White Suburban Moms Are Standing Up to Border Patrol With Whistles & Phones | “We have white skin, we were born here, there’s a level of privilege we have. We have comfortable lives here ... there is a safety that we have & that privilege we can use to do some good,” said mom Savanna Essig-Fox.

I doubt it would make sense to disqualify someone from Congress because they’ve had a heart attack. He’s been very popular in his home state and appeals to a wide audience. My father, a republican (died in 2000) loved Bernie.

Not true. His strategy has been through amendments and they have helped bring important changes in his home state, for one.

Tonight was a very bad night.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS:

“If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders LIVE: I Won't Support Doubling Health Care Premiums

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.

All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.

Slipper like flower that is actually a fungus in disguise.

lol this is crazy—this is a FUNGUS!!! It’s E. ferrugineae, which attacks plants and makes a flower-like growth to attract bugs to spread its spores. Happy Halloween!

... Yet we, as a society and as a nation, largely refuse to discuss his mental condition—at least publicly. The accelerating destruction that he has wrought, and will continue to wreak, is on all of us—especially those who choose to look the other way.

Here are my three truths about climate:
1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over.
2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

The Right Can Keep Its Raisins Out Of Our Potato Salad, Thank You They don't contribute to our culture, they don't get to say what it is.

..."The rise of a mob-driven distraction machine prevents independent journalists from being able to drive stories like we used to. Persistent true content is no longer enough to attract eyeballs and drive narrative, because people are flooding social media with conspiracies."

Everyone who is afraid to join a No Kings or other protests needs to understand this; you're afraid of the wrong thing. You should be afraid of what will happen if we all stay home.

We should be terrified of the consequences of staying silent. Not of the consequences of speaking out.
