With a two-cent wealth tax on fortunes greater than $50 million, we can ensure universal child care, cancel all student loan debt, make technical schools and two- and four-year colleges free, and more. It’s possible if we get the ultra-rich to pay a fair share.

I’ve been thinking about this lady from Atlantis a lot recently … no particular reason 😭🥲

Thanks to our New Mexico leaders for stepping up to protect the Greater Chaco landscape. We urge Congress to pass this bill and permanently protect the habitats of the wildlife that live in and around the canyon. Chaco Canyon is a national treasure. #ProtectChaco #MoreNature

You can have your lobster and eat it too! @WholeFoods followed the recommendations of marine experts and paused its purchase of Gulf of Maine lobster. Now they should commit to buying lobster caught using whale-safe technology.

[Environment America @EnvAm]

By committing to purchase lobster caught with whale-safe ropeless technology, @RedLobster can continue to serve “seafood with standards” and play a vital role in creating a market for lobster caught using ropeless gear.

Fishing gear entanglements are killing the #RightWhale. With fewer than 350 left, @WholeFoods and @RedLobster can help save them by buying lobster from fishermen who use whale-safe gear.

[Environment America @EnvAm]

About 60-70 North Atlantic Right whales have congregated in Cape Cod Bay. Wow! This is approximately 20% of the whale's total population in one place. https://t.co/WMyNRC7Q1g

Spring is here, and while we know you're eager to start sprucing up your outdoor space, we politely urge you to BUZZ OFF with your yard work. Most pollinators are still slumbering. 🐝

Whales get entangled in lobster ropes, and death can come slowly. The good news? @WholeFoods and @RedLobster can help save the #RightWhale by buying lobster caught with whale-safe gear.

There has been some misinformation around wind turbines and whale strandings on the east coast, sharing this Salon piece with some good quotes from our @Oceana expert, Gib Brogan. https://t.co/HNjLUoraAh

It's baffling to me that school meals aren't free. Kids raising money to pay off "lunch debt"! How could you possibly think that is OK?

Every child should receive free healthy meals from their school. I will gladly pay my taxes to make that happen. There is no better investment.

This #InternationalPolarBearDay @Interior should cancel the Willow project. A pretty name with disastrous consequences. This project would allow more drilling in the Arctic, fragmenting wildlife habitat and putting wildlife –like the polar bear– at risk. https://t.co/PSnB5c6ial
