The top 1% evades an estimated $163 billion in taxes each year.
$163 billion would cover the cost of tuition-free public college, universal childcare and fully funding the IRS to stop the 1% from continuing to steal from the rest of us.

The faint hearted should not read this.
Yesterday, at our own risk, we left Mariupol under gunfire. We stayed overnight in a field in a gray zone. It was freezing outside, thank God we are alive. We are alive to scream that everyone who stayed in Mariupol needs help!

This happened in TEN YEARS.
And that's with fossil fuels still being subsidized and installations mostly happening among early adopters... meaning there's still a lot more room for demand to drive down pricing even more.

Don't buy the fossil fuel industry's lies. Taking #ClimateAction will be good for our economy, national security, and public health.

People & planet are getting hit hard by the climate crisis.
Nearly half of humanity is living in the danger zone right now.
It's time for urgent #ClimateAction. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/

.@POTUS is right: Putin has made the need for a transition to clean energy even more urgent.

German TV has just reported on the Tories‘ Russia problem. Hundreds of oligarchs with links to Putin have paid millions to get citizenship and have donated millions to the Tories. Their black money is laundered in London where city bankers profit. Johnson does next to nothing

Costs of climate-fueled extreme weather disasters in the US ⬇️
In the past 5 years: $750B
In 2021 alone: $20B
That’s a big check, and it will only get bigger if we don’t pass the climate investments in the BBBA and tackle the climate crisis head-on.

Guess what? Inflation is currently high in ALL developed economies, not just the US. Is it a problem? Yes. Is it Biden's fault? No. Anyone saying or implying otherwise is either clickbaiting you or trying to score cheap political points.

"Biden’s clean-energy tax credits—a set of incentives that would push the US to generate more electricity through wind, solar, and other zero-carbon resources—would be one of the most cost-effective climate policies in American history..." theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Voters are furious—the majority of Americans are highly concerned about climate change and want government to step up.
@POTUS has proposed a bold climate agenda and @SenateDems must get it done—for the sake of our planet, and their own political futures.

Not a wordle, just a reminder that we need to halve emissions by 2030.

I just sort of feel like after the 50th smoking gun, somebody should maybe get indicted or something.

Blaming climate activists for being “too political” is like blaming doctors for being “too medical.”
The #ClimateCrisis is largely a political problem, and our top priority must be to rapidly increase the climate movement’s political power in every town, city, state & country.

Biden has done more in his first year than virtually any other president. Record jobs, record GDP, record legislation, record judges, ended the forever war. The fourth estate is failing us and risking democracy in the process.
