We need to do something about guns in this country. Tell me I'm emotional. It's true, I am. Emotions aren't thin air. How do we weigh the ever increasing emotional cost our access to guns gives us vs the benefit we have of their access? I don't know. But please. And come on.

An utterly crushing day for Big Oil 1) Chevron investors demand emission cuts 2) Dutch court tells Shell to cut emissions by half 3) Exxon shareholders buck the company and elect directors demanding climate action. Thanks to all who fight--you push long enough and dominoes tumble

What would it take to get companies to commit to removing 100% of the CO2 they’ve emitted in the last 50 years? A goal for net zero emissions just isn’t enough...

In Denmark, the average worker in McDonald's makes $22 an hour, receives 6 weeks of paid vacation, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and a pension. Yes. If McDonald's workers in Denmark can have a decent standard of living, we can do it in the U.S. #McDonaldsStrike
