North Carolina schools are closing because of broken AC and record heat. This is what happens when tax cuts for millionaires and corporations are prioritized over funding our schools.
Patriotic Millionaires have a solution, tax the rich so we can fund our schools.

NEW: New Yorkers have started a trend of tagging Mayor Zohran Mamdani to report problems around the city and the fixes are happening so quickly that the videos are going viral.
A dangerous playground hazard was repaired after a resident wrote a letter. A pothole was filled the same day it was posted online. And ahead of this week’s heat wave, the city installed temporary water fountains in Prospect Park.
The message from City Hall: no problem is too small to fix.

Britain must prepare for El Niño.
The UK is built for a climate which no longer exists.
We need to grow more of our own food and prepare towns and workplaces for extreme heat.
When climate shocks hit, public power must protect people so profiteers can't exploit crises.

If our government is going to actively abandon our environment, we need to step up and protect it.

Britain has entered a new climate reality, and the Government hasn't grasped it.
Last week I led a debate on extreme heat and the cross-government action needed to protect us. Here's some of what I said.

🚨NEW MINI-SERIES🚨
When Nature Becomes A Security Threat
Climate breakdown isn't just an environmental issue - it's fast becoming a national security crisis.
In a major new investigative series, @CarolineLucas, former Green Party leader and MP for Brighton Pavilion, asks what happens when the natural world turns into a threat and what we can do to solve it.
Episode one drops Friday, exclusively for TRIP+ members.

Without transformational change, our food and water systems are on course for catastrophic failure from 2030.
I am deeply disappointed that the PM did not commit to publishing the reports in full.

Most people are exhausted by political division — but they don't know they're the majority. #Conflict gets in the way of addressing climate, and climate accelerates conflict. Could #peace-building be the hidden catalyst for #climate action?

While Westminster obsesses over by-elections and leadership contests, an official report warns that within years our food and water systems could fail. I’ve forced Govt to acknowledge a suppressed report on ecosystem collapse. But Ministers still aren’t facing the scale of the crisis.

The time has come to vote for the California you want.
A California with homes you can afford.
A California with lower electric bills.
A California with free childcare.
A California where polluters pay.
A California where we tax corporations and billionaires
The question is: do you want a California that works for corporations, or for Californians?
The California we want is possible. We just have to vote for it.
Polls close at 8pm.

Last year, $34 MILLION dollars was poured into California politics. And when that happens... you can expect a messy, diluted batch of policy that doesn't look the same (let alone taste the same) just because of oil money!
See if your rep takes oil money:

NEW POLL: California, we have the momentum. Now, let's bring it home. My opponents are a MAGA extremist and a career politician backed by a deep roster of corporations and billionaires.
I'm running to take on special interests and lower costs for working people — and that's why corporations have spent a record $53 million to try and stop me.
Vote by June 2.
