Education is the key to understanding how we got to where we are today. Only when we know the origins of our current society can we make effective change. https://t.co/GqxVyslhs3 via @Change
Tell them, Greta.
When people try to mock you personally instead of engaging the substance of your advocacy, it’s because they know how powerful you are, and that the truth is on your side.
Keep inspiring and organizing.
We’re going to save the planet.

Whatever happens, don’t let anyone get away with saying the chaos, ineptitude, cruelty, and corruption of the Trump presidency were unknowable. All of it was entirely predictable, and indeed predicted by many.
Trump promised to eliminate the debt in 4 years; he increased it. He promised to win the easy trade war with China; he didn't. He promised Mexico would pay for the wall; it won't. His tax cuts were going to trickle down and spur the economy; it didnt. #TrumpRecession
I'm an expert in gun law, gun violence, and the Second Amendment. I literally created and teach a college class called "Firearms Law and the Second Amendment." I've read the studies, articles, and books. I've written and published my own articles. If you have questions... AMA.
If it's done by a black man, he's a thug. If it's an Arab, then he must be a terrorist. If Hispanic, let's build a wall, but if he's white, he's a troubled young man with mental illness, perhaps it's video games?
We have to say it again & again & again. There can be no conversation about immigration from Central America without interrogating the role that the history of US imperialism has played in destabilizing the social, economic, & political foundations of those countries. Period.
It makes no sense for young people to be denied jobs because they were arrested for smoking marijuana. It is time to decriminalize marijuana, expunge past marijuana convictions and end the failed war on drugs.
Climate scientists: We need about a trillion new trees to sequester enough carbon to offset global warming
Ethiopia, about a week later: Let’s get started. We planted 353 million trees in one day.

For the record, when Donald Trump calls one of America’s cities a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” and a “dangerous and filthy place” as a way to attack an honored and honorable US congressman, there shouldn’t be any confusion over who hates America.
I want to thank Supreme Court for giving us the precedent that the President can unilaterally move funds out of the Defense Department through executive orders without Congressional approval. A progressive president should move hundreds of billions out to fight climate change!
