My wife & I are worried about covering our new outrageous insurance premium. We’re lucky, we’ll still keep a roof over our heads & food on the table. But millions of families don’t know what they’ll eat tomorrow.

We just donated to the LA Regional Food Bank. If you can, give to your local one too.

Because no amount of gerrymandering will overcome millions of people losing SNAP and healthcare insurance while they get fired as costs continue to rise

Unbelievable. He admits it’s unconstitutional. Then says Trump might “go around” the Constitution.

I'VE STOPPED WORRYING ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S SANITY. HE'S NOT SANE. AND THE REALIZATION OF HIS ILLNESS DOESN'T FILL ME WITH ANGER, BUT WITH PROFOUND SADNESS. WHAT I NOW WORRY ABOUT IS THE SANITY OF ANYONE WHO CAN STILL SUPPORT THIS DEEPLY TROUBLED MAN TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY. ~ Bryan Cranston 4-25-2020 Graphic by: The Trump Resistance Movement

Wood burners linked to 2,500 deaths a year in the UK, analysis finds Use of wood-burning stoves and fires in homes is mostly unnecessary and their toxic pollution costs the NHS millions

Important story on the horrors of #woodburning by my excellent colleague @dpcarrington.bsky.social a must-read and must-follow:
www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As dreams of 1.5°C melt away, net zero’s reckoning is overdue People’s inability to see past net zero shows it is no longer fit for purpose

"they fail to link climate action with things that matter to people: food poverty, fuel poverty, air pollution, inequality, job insecurity, lack of housing, unfordable or non-existent healthcare... they are constrained by only being able to offer pragmatic, ‘politically feasible’ centrism?"
