The people and places we love and care about are worth protecting. Big polluters will try to enrich themselves by destroying our only home, but we refuse to let them take what's most precious to us.

Let Earth Day be a reminder that we have a future to win.

How is it that Congress rebukes #AlGreen for his actions Tuesday night but does nothing to condemn #47 for calling the female senator from MA “Pocahontas?” Why is he allowed to bully a Senator? His actions are the opposite of everything we try to model for our children in schools and at home.

Premise of the Trump regime & Supreme Court: Any diverse environment "is one in which white men have been discriminated against" b/c they "are by definition the most competent possible candidates."

At what cost DOGE? Among receipts on the DOGE wall was funding for a #DOE project that's now been scrapped. There are real-world consequences! Thirteen school districts in 11 states will not receive more than $13 million to support over 1,070 youth w/ disabilities participating in the program." 😢

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”

Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.
