Agreed. Shouldn't we be striving each day to be better than we were the day before? I thought we were headed in the right direction when Obama was elected, but then all of the progress was wiped away by evil incarnate.

Banned Books Week is almost over! The Trump administration had at least 596 books removed from schools serving military families. Don’t forget to get out there and read some of the books they tried to keep off the shelves. Happy Banned Books Week!

As Trump demonizes cities, remember this: Residents of "blue" states send more tax money to Washington than they get back in federal help, while residents of “red” states send less money to Washington than they get back in federal help. Just thought I should point that out.

97% of people live in countries with enough sun and wind to generate at least 10 TIMES the electricity they use today. Modern, decentralised renewable energy systems are POSSIBLE and AFFORDABLE. Don’t let oil and gas executives, or the politicians enabling them, tell you otherwise.

Repro freedom isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s access to abortion, birth control, IVF, maternal health care, and the care you need throughout your life. Repro freedom looks different for everyone. And that’s exactly the point: the decision should belong to you.

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week. Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before. Here’s what’s really going on.

Across the world, oceans are being pushed to the brink by pollution, destructive industrial fishing and overfishing, the looming threat of deep sea mining and fossil-fuelled climate change. Tell governments to act swiftly and turn the Global Ocean Treaty into action because the ocean can’t wait.
