"So many Americans who aspire to leadership positions hope they can bequeath . . . to the next generation a better country than the one they inherited. Ulysses S. Grant not only bequeathed a better country; his leadership saved its very existence." - Frank Scaturro #USGrant200
@e_joseph_murphy I didn't know about this book. Two great topics and two great historians. I just read Gary Gallagher's "The Union War" so this one sounds interesting too.
.@AOC: "We cannot allow the climate crisis to become a catastrophe ... Some of us are actually going to have to live on this planet in 50 years ... This is real life. This is serious. And we need to govern like it."
We are filing a legal petition to the UN secretary-general urging him to declare the climate crisis a global level 3 emergency – the UN’s highest category.

I was glad to join @350.org last week protesting outside the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond. If money is the fuel for global heating, then let's cut off that fuel through banks and the Federal Reserve. #FossilFreeFinance https://t.co/22b1AUpcDj via @YouTube
If you liked Chernow's "Grant," Baier's is shorter, full of narrative tension, and focuses on an episode that deserves more attention. Baier anchors for Fox News, yet his book is not MAGA propaganda, but well documented history. #grant https://t.co/rcFrl5T3HT
My first video portraying Ulysses S. Grant to mark his bicentennial next year. A serious presentation for a serious subject, Grant in his own words. https://t.co/oLNV47yZ72
On climate, the world will succeed, or fail, as one.
Now is the time for real action.
#COP26 begins today. We must make it count.

Polluters have historically undercounted and under-reported their #climate emissions. Satellites make it harder for nations and companies to shirk responsibility. https://t.co/b9QuPhtGIo
”1.7C is better than 1.9C which is better than 3C. Cutting emissions tomorrow is better than the day after, because we can always avoid worse happening. The action is far too slow at the moment, but we can still act.”

This week, Indigenous leaders & allies across the country have come together in D.C. for #PeopleVsFossilFuels protests & civil disobedience. I support them & their demands to President Biden: declare climate emergency & stop approving fossil fuel projects https://t.co/punihgo6lM
