Bern and I are grateful to @Waterkeeper for publishing our article on rivers, especially now, when the new administration is returning environmental and climate issues to their rightful place at the top of our agenda. We hope you will read and share the article.

How can we ensure the health of our waterways while also protecting the communities & economies that depend on them? This is the future we strive for.

This storm will pass, and a new day will come.

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

I urge my colleagues: look into your soul.

Summon the courage to #DefendOurDemocracy.

With our votes we can “bear true faith and allegiance” to the vision of our Founders.

And we can show future generations what it truly means to be “Americans first.” (4/4)

I’ve worked my whole life to overcome a stutter. And it’s my great honor to mentor kids who have experienced the same. It’s called empathy. Look it up.

Unbelievable.

Let's use this moment of disappointment as a spur to renew our commitment in our Democracy, and making sure that it represents every single one of us.

I don’t aspire to be one more strident voice vying to be heard above the clamor. https://t.co/1K8C0vsEDl

In the last few weeks I’ve hit a bit of a wall, as I have confronted my growing inability to understand, let alone write about, the world around me. https://t.co/1K8C0vsEDl

[Jamie Blaine @JamesBlaineBlog]

Oh, I still have plenty of opinions, but lately they have come to seem increasingly trite, repetitive and uninspired. https://t.co/1K8C0vsEDl

I see its impact every morning when I find my inbox filled with messages from candidates, PACs, etc., each one more desperate & negative than the last. To say there is no levity here and not a hint of whimsy to start my day would be a huge understatement. https://t.co/o9yRTJENvg

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

This National Gun Violence Awareness Day, show your commitment to keeping our kids safe from gun violence. Then, for everyone we’ve lost, take action to change our leadership and our laws until they reflect that commitment - no matter how long it takes. https://t.co/lraIwlQAgl

In his pubic life, which is the only one I know, @SenJohnMcCain has personified virtues I was brought up to admire: courage, honesty, fairness, loyalty, honor, service. We don’t hear these words much these days. These virtues now seem quaint & out of favor https://t.co/AwMFRgox7Y

In #Montgomery we confronted our history – or more accurately, our history confronted us with a rawness from which we have shielded ourselves for centuries. #JGBlog @eji_org @MemPeaceJustice @LegacyMuseum #BryanStevenson
