the hunt stops now, Iceland. whale-watching generates $20M USD annually & it is time to value them alive, not as meat to sell to Japan. Tell Iceland to #StopWhaling for good & support tourism. #StopIcelandWhaling @forsaetisradun @kristjanthorj@thordiskolbrun
the first 2 fin whales have died at human hands. how long will it take us to realize our resources are not infinite and that other species rapidly declining because of us? distinguished leaders, please #StopIcelandWhaling @forsaetisradun @kristjanthorj@thordiskolbrun
@xpnmorningshow i've heard this song hundreds of times, and her version made me hear it in a whole new way.....that's true artistry. so excited for the full album!

In today’s materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.
Martin Shkreli is going to prison because he defrauded the rich, not because he raised the price of life-saving HIV medication by 5,000%.
A very important distinction.
White privilege = Obama suggested he would meet with North Koreans & Republicans beat him up; Trump throws out idea of meeting after a year of taunts & he's considered a great strategist.
"A major second wave of fracking is coming". Ok fractivists, time for a major second wave of organizing, because we don't have a major second planet to live on. https://t.co/V3puvv1oKa
Another win for the @NRA will be a giant loss for endangered elephants. We see the corruption in Washington and its growing avarice and inhumanity. https://t.co/ioXUc8P2OX
Are our memories so short that we have learned nothing from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression just 10 years ago? Unbelievably, Congress now wants to deregulate some of the same banks that helped cause the 2008 financial disaster.
As a daughter of immigrants and WOC, I've been asked why I work with certain people--this is why...because a candidate, an office holder, an advocate, an activist that's willing to walk the talk is more important to me than anything else--thank you @IronStache#DreamActNow
I don't understand why White South Africans are panicking. Even if the land is taken, surely with hard work,dedication and quickly getting over it they can still make a decent living for themselves?!
