@SharonSalzberg From Victor Frankl:
1. In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.
2. So live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now

It was a beautiful morning in South Bay. BioBlitz was a coming together of ecology, science and wholehearted care for the planet earth. Look out for next events at https://t.co/nZVD7HmFSs

Climate strike week 231, in Davos outside the World Economic Forum where those most responsible for the climate crisis meet. We’ve written a letter to fossil fuel CEO’s demanding no new fossil fuels. You can sign it too: https://t.co/vsr048rHuo

@Chase is the world’s largest funder of fossil fuels. Since 2015, Chase provided more than $382 billion to the fossil fuel companies driving the climate crisis. We’re here to demand that they stop financing the fossil fuel industry #jpmcc #chaseclimatechallenge

Holy shit — in today’s Oversight hearing on fossil fuel misinformation, @AOC submitted HEATED’s joint investigation with ⁦@EARTH3R⁩ on Big Oil advertising in political newsletters to show how oil companies buy influence over climate policy.

I’m so elated I could cry.

Billionaire No More: Patagonia Founder Gives Away the Company https://t.co/yBmejTlI2Y This is leadership-- The Chouinards are showing us all what is possible, necessary + required for us to continue as a species in relationship to all other species on this planet we call home.

@ClimateHuman I don’t believe the media really understand the issue well. They seem to be unable to develop a narrative to report and educate the audience. Just think about Carbon dividends/pricing discussions going with the White House! SMH

@RepMTG @davidhogg111 The second and the third words in second amendment are “well” and “regulated”. Is this too hard to understand?

[Ram Appalaraju @Mindful_Ram]

@davidhogg111 @davidhogg111 It’s about our politicians enforcing key part of the second amendment: “.. well regulated…”

@pewresearch It’s more helpful if you can present data on “why” vs. just “what”. Underlying systemic issues needed to be studied and acted upon.

[Pew Research Center @pewresearch]

In surveys conducted since 2018, Black U.S. adults have consistently been more likely than people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds to see gun violence and violent crime as very big national problems. https://t.co/UlwgkjaRLx

@donwinslow @donwinslow think about this: we are living in a country with zero trust on any one of our public institutions. If you are not rich, you are hosed! Does USA even qualify to be a country?

[Ram Appalaraju @Mindful_Ram]

@Salman_ganai_2 Agreed. Perhaps least divisive issue in the country now!

@tom_peters I’m hoping for humanity to go back to pigeons to exchange messages.

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

If Republicans were "good on the economy," the last 3 Democratic Presidents that followed one wouldn't have had to:

🔹Drag us out of recession — Clinton
🔹Enact emergency Recovery aid — Obama
🔹Rescue our economy from freefall — Biden

End this myth once and for all. Pass it on!
