Let’s push this news around, ourselves!

Please help make sure this isn’t lost in Thanksgiving activities.

This is important news and releasing it is a big admission: science is right; they know it.
Thank you for caring and helping this Thanksgiving weekend.

Clearly they know they are wrong on the science; fossil fuel pressure and money makes them not care.

So rotten. Push back.
Remember, if they could challenge the science, what better time than now in Trump admin crawling w fossil fuel flunkies? thinkprogress.org/sen-mike-lee-g…

This is such bull***t.

First it was a hoax.

Then the science was uncertain.

Then we were “alarmists.”

Then any fix was too expensive.

Now it will be fixed with “innovation.”

As the truth emerges, they just fall back to a more credible trench to defend the same industry and its same smelly lies and big fat subsidy.

Give me a break.

Want “innovation”?

Put a #priceoncarbon, so you can reward investors in #carbon reduction;

Strip this crooked industry of its $700 billon/yr subsidy (just in US, per @IMFNews);

Thank you to @MeetThePress for doing a Sunday show on climate change — at last.

Usually these Sunday shows are televised gossip columns, and climate change and other key issues are never discussed.
Good for you, @chucktodd.

At this stage, #climate denial is fraud, and it has been for a long time — particularly as practiced by the fossil fuel industry and its armada of phony front groups. thehill.com/homenews/sunda…

I must respectfully disagree with my friend @SenJohnBarrasso ’s Op-Ed on the @nytimes.

I will explain why in this thread⬇️ nytimes.com/2018/12/18/opi…
1️⃣ The referendum result in Washington State looked like more relentless campaigning by the fossil fuel industry against #climate action;

without that industry onslaught, the #carbontax referendum there would probably have passed.

nytimes.com/2018/12/30/opi…
2️⃣ A #carbontax is not “expensive,” as in our proposals all the money goes back to the public.

Taxing #carbon moves energy markets toward cheaper renewables.
On balance, people save money.

Don’t forget that the savings from avoiding #climate catastrophes are immense.

The point of the presentation is working towards Work/Life balance. But really, half of it is about burnout. And a little about crunch. And some about self care. But what it isn't is a list of things "Do this and you'll be fine." Because it doesn't work like that. Each person's-
situation and answers to the problems are going to be different. What works for some people doesn't work for others. The idea is that by explaining how I figured it out, maybe you can find your way too.
First - WLB isn't about Time Management. The ability to manage your time *helps* but it's not the answer. You can keep everything neatly planned and still get crispy. The bigger and far more important part is Energy Management.

Dear "Off The Trump Train" Friends: WE WELCOME YOU. YOU ARE LOVED AND NEEDED AND ANY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US CAN BE WORKED OUT OVER A BEER AFTER THE DARKNESS PASSES.
Now that we are on the same team, here's just a couple of things we would like you to know about us: We support policies to reduce the number of abortions. We don't believe in outlawing abortions because there are better ways to reduce that don't have such dangerous consequences
WE ARE NOT GREAT AT SLOGANS. Good governance is vastly complicated, and we all are worried about different bits of it. We stand for DOING THE RIGHT THING. That includes education, environmental protection, and judicious use of war power.

Nobody knows his face. Hidden by a mask, Alpha Jeon Jeongguk was a mystery unsolved. His identity might be concealed but his aura of intense supremacy wasn't. People envied him and mostly feared him, except for one myth that hides his own identity and race.
Will yall support me if i do this?

If you’ve followed #GloryGoesWest you know that Glory decided not to be a sled dog (she likes people more than dogs, and thinks pulling is boring), so last week she moved to the Pacific Northwest to live with my parents as a pet.
So far she seems to be transitioning beautifully.
No matter how or where she lives, Glory will always be part of the team and pack and heritage of sled dogs. And since dogs can’t send postcards, today I asked her friends and family if they have any messages for her. Here are my attempts at translation.

In this series, I will be elaborating on and exploring the idea of male white advocates dating and potentially marrying white Mormon women. This first installment will be about who this series is directed at, who this series is NOT directed at, and, why one may 1/
consider dating a Mormon woman. Afterwards, we will discover how and where to meet eligible Mormon women, then how to handle the beginning of a relationship. Lastly, we will address general points about long-term success including marriage and dealing with leaving the church. 2/
I am making this guide for men of good moral character, who are white and white advocates, and who want a wife inclined towards a traditional lifestyle. This means men who are strong and know how to set boundaries with women. While I am talking about helping these women out 3/
