10 minutes till the start of the #ClimateStrike protest in Salem, but the chants have started.
Woody Guthrie in the house.
I’d guess there are about 300 people here in front of the Oregon State Capitol.
Crowd has grown quite a bit, and some of the signs are mighty good.
I’d guess there are now about 500 people here. Local students are now giving a series of excellent speeches calling for action on climate.

Just realized that Mac DeMarco is basically post-Beatles John Lennon minus primal scream therapy plus a fistful of quaaludes.
I don’t necessarily mean this as a criticism, BTW.
And yes, I have a teenager in my house.

The GOP base is what you’d get if you combined PT Barnum’s dreamscape with Orwell’s nightmares.
There's a historical irony here that begs to be developed. In this book, @MicNick11 shows how conservative fears of Russian/Communist "mind control" via UNESCO, sex education, new math, etc. provided an important motivator for grass roots right wingers in the 50s & 60s.
@MicNick11 What weaponized Facebook is doing to a substantial number of rank and file American conservatives looks a lot like what those 50s and 60s conservatives, Bircher types and Goldwater fans, feared. Only those tactics are being used ON BEHALF of Trumpian conservatism.

Where are my Tea Partiers at?!?!
Hear me out now. I’m starting to think that it wasn’t an economically principled concern about the deficit or the bailouts that inspired these Tea Partiers (who now overwhelmingly back Trump), but it might have had something to do with Obama’s blackness.
I know I know, kind of a stretch to say that the people who voted for the guy who kicked off his campaign by calling Mexicans rapists might have been motivated by racism...but stranger things have happened.

The Queensland LNP's Jarrod Bleijie demands all children be detained or suspended for attending #ClimateStrike. Jarrod expects to be the Qld education minister after the next state election. #auspol #qldpol
Fairly standard sort of response for the Qld LNP. If you are familiar with #qldpol, you'll be 😆 or 🙄 at Newman's failed A-G. If not, Google "Jarrod Bleijie article clerk". Would be a really bad choice for the care of Qld school children. #ClimateStrike #auspol
Jarrod Bleijie and Campbell Newman ultimately costed taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in defamation. #qldpol #auspol #ClimateStrike abc.net.au/news/2016-08-3…

1/ At 7‌:03 am ET on Mar‌ch 1, Amy from New York became our first donor. Last night, Linda from Kentucky chipped in, too. Between Amy and Linda, 129,998 people (and now more) have invested in this campaign.

I’m honored. Thank you.
2/ I want to take some time to talk about how far we’ve come since we launched on March 1 — and to introduce you to some of the incredible people we’ve met and who have helped get us to where we are today.
3/ Early in March, we visited Agoura Hills, CA where I met Marsha Maus. Marsha’s home was completely destroyed by the Woolsey Fire, which was made worse by climate change.

Thank you to Marsha and the people of Agoura Hills for sharing your stories with me.
