“For three years, Americans have been living under the willfully blind, anti-scientific, business-coddling rule of President Trump, who has stubbornly chosen climate denial over rationality.” 2/
“We now have an opportunity to resoundingly reject his policies by voting him out of office, along with congressional Republicans who enable him.” 3/
“There are plenty of reasons to fight for Trump's defeat in November 2020, but his deeply irresponsible climate policies — including moving to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement,” 4/
“roll back Barack Obama’s emission limits on coal-fired plants, rescind rules governing methane emissions and relax national fuel emission standards — are among the strongest.” /end

When Trump says the NRA’s views will be “fully represented” in talks to #EndGunViolence, does he know they already have a president to do that? As US President, he should care more about the views of 97% of Americans who support background checks. #GiveUSAVote 1/
Senate Republicans up for reelection in states like AZ, CO, OH and ME need to stop standing with the NRA and start standing up for our kids by demanding Mitch McConnell #GiveUsAVote on background checks for gun sales. Don’t ask for our votes if you can’t do your job right now! 2/
Trump says he is “all in favor” of strong background checks for gun sales. Actions speak louder than words. He needs to get #MoscowMich McConnell to #GiveUsAVote in the Senate on measures already advanced in the House. Let’s get this done. #Enough! 3/

The #ACA has improved the lives of millions of Americans, but President Trump wants to gut every part of the law. A month ago today, we fought in court to #ProtectOurCare. 1/
Exactly a month ago today: @XavierBecerra and a coalition of 20 states + D.C. were in court to #ProtectOurCare from Trump-backed efforts to gut every part of the Affordable Care Act. 2/
Healthcare for tens of millions of Americans remains at stake in #TXvUS. #ProtectOurCare 3/

Head’s up. @SwingLeft is paying attention to #Census2020 and #Gerrymandering in terms of protecting our democracy. I like their strategy for the win. Here is their recent email, which they asked us to share liberally on social media. #Election2020 1/
The Trump administration has tried to sneak a question of citizenship status into the #2020census. Recently leaked documents from a GOP redistricting strategist revealed it was created specifically to exclude minority groups like Latinx from census participation—resulting in 2/
... inaccurate population counts that affect apportionment (how House seats are distributed) and federal funding for critical social services. If this happens, Republicans will have another baked-in electoral advantage—and communities of color will be underrepresented ...

A couple of points here. 1) Notice that none of the climate plans are massive bundles of super-ambitious non-climate progressive agenda items ala the #GreenNewDeal. That train certainly came and went in a hurry. niskanencenter.org/blog/an-open-l… washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2) These plans are all very light on detail. It will take time to write complicated legislation like this. That a bill will be forwarded is likely. That it will be forwarded in 2021 strikes me as more unlikely than not.
3) Since none of these proposed plans look anything like legislation currently in the hopper, whatever is offered will be put together on the fly, ala "HillaryCare" in 1993. That's a recipe for political disaster. amazon.com/Alternatives-P…

Alberta's on fire again. Another record breaker. Our slowest & stupidest (& our bought & paid for) will tell you it has nothing to do with a #ClimateCrisis. They're reckless, wrong & turning our land into an ashtray. Stop listening to them. THREAD #abpoli #cdnpoli #GentThreads
But don't take my word for it. Take the @globeandmail's:

The response to this essay has been truly overwhelming--a few hundred emails, tweets, DMs, texts, etc.

Some from folks I know + many from folks I don't. Some simply writing to say it resonated, others writing to challenge the arguments.

All of it v generous + collaborative!
It's been extremely generative + something I'll process as I dig in on some more Design + #GreenNewDeal writing this summer, gear up to teach a grad studio on it this fall, and prepare for this incredible event, full of the smartest most radical ppl I know eventbrite.com/e/designing-a-…
But one of those replies, from someone whose work I really admire + who I've fought to have included in other publications was really disappointing, amounting to "I agree with the argument but have invented an identity for the author which I'll now attack"

public service announcement: we are now living through the biggest anti-#trans backlash since the 1970s. it's been going on since at least 2016. it's not just Republicans or evangelicals – it's coming from numerous fronts. & most cis people seem entirely oblivious to it...
...I should really be working on a different piece I'm on deadline for. but this has been on my mind a lot today. I can't tell you how many cis friends I've talked to over the last two years, who know I'm a trans writer & activist, and will ask how that's all going...
...and I'll be like "actually quite awful!" and I will tell them about TERF harassment & mass reporting online, or how not a day goes by with out the UK press publishing between 1 to 5 transphobic op-eds, or how transphobes are now rebranding themselves as "skeptics"...

President Trump upended decades of U.S. policy that started with Richard Nixon when he declared that the goal of the U.S. was no longer “energy independence” but rather “American energy dominance.” This wasn’t Trumpian hyperbole. latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
/2 Few policies have been pursued by the administration with more cohesiveness, zeal, and success — or with more potential to yield great and lasting harm. Trump has unleashed a massive, untethered expansion of oil, natural gas and coal production.
/3 Trump's "American Energy Dominance" policy seeks to make the U.S. the world’s foremost fossil fuel powerhouse. Its origins are in the radical writings of 2 Trump campaign advisers who call fossil fuels "The Master Resource,"as I wrote in @RollingStone rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

I've talked before about Russian #disinformation, and how the goal is to exploit existing divisive issues to weaken the enemy. 1 #InformationWarfare #WednesdayWisdom #CambridgeAnalytica #Russie #Putin #deza
Bernie v. Hillary, Benghazi & the "email scandal" were perfect targets. There was already tension & division on those topics, so they were easy to exploit. 2
Russia also targeted #peopleofcolor (specifically black voters) to sow distrust of Hillary & the political process, which helped Trump's campaign. 3
