A majority of white women yet again voted for GOP, the party that took away their rights and endorses hate and cruelty. White women gotta step up and talk to their sisters. Only so much women of color can do.

It’s fascinating to hear the insightful responses of some Republicans to their failure to attract young voters and single women voters: raise the voting age and pressure young women to get married. – at Scottsdale, AZ

It turns out women enjoy having human rights, and we vote.

This NASA scientist made an emotional appeal just before being arrested. Peter Kalmus spoke to AJ+ in a personal capacity and not on behalf of any organization.

I welcome the adoption of the #UNGA resolution recognising the human right to a healthy environment – an important tool for accountability and climate justice. The well-being of people around the world and the survival of future generations depends on the health of our planet.

Know that climate disasters this summer are only the beginning and they will get catastrophically worse until we end the fossil fuel industry. Everything humanity does depends on a livable climate. End fossil fuels rapidly and equitably. Switch into emergency mode

I'm getting a lot of calls from European journalists and officials who want to know how to survive the searing heat. Here's the answer: Stop burning fossil fuels.

Joe Manchin just shut down a bill that would’ve created thousands of good jobs and helped to tackle the climate crisis. Make no mistake, this is what’s on the line in November. We need a 51st vote to make change for working people — and that’s exactly what I’ll be.

I wish everyone on Earth knew how genuinely "off the charts" key planetary trends are right now, and how abnormal and critical it is. Things like atmospheric CO2 fraction, heat extremes on land and ocean, biodiversity loss and extinction rates. All alarms should be going off

When guns are the number one killer of America’s children – yes, you read that right – then we can’t just stand by and let it happen any longer. Today, we took action.

And 100% of mass public shootings happen with guns. As Governor, on behalf of the people of Highland Park — leave us the hell alone.
Since 1950, 94% of mass public shootings occurred in gun-free zones.

Catastrophic. A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the planet.

New funding for fossil fuel exploration and production infrastructure is delusional. Fossil fuels are not the answer. Renewable energy is.
