Unless there is a major increase in global consciousness around climate change, the planet we will leave our kids and future generations will be increasingly unhealthy and uninhabitable. Arizona has had a record-breaking heat wave. China has had unprecedented flooding. The oceans have never been warmer.
Meanwhile, oil companies continue to lie and obfuscate while making hundreds of billions in profits. Democrats are doing too little about this existential threat. Republicans, at best, are ignoring it. And readers and viewers of FOX News continue to be misinformed.
While we organize for bold climate action, we must reach out to all Americans. Read an op-ed I wrote that appeared today on the FOX News website at the link in my bio.
What Democrats have got to do is have the guts to take on corporate greed.
“Stop trying to screw the workers.”
— @sagaftra President @officialfrandrescher’s message to greedy CEOs.
The U.S. is facing massive devastation as a result of climate change. China is facing massive devastation as a result of climate change. Instead of spending billions planning for a war against each other, these two countries should work together to combat climate change.

“You know, meteorologists need to be doing this more, not less.”
The Democrats, once and for all, must reject the corporate wing of the party and empower those who are prepared to create a grassroots, multi-racial, multi-generational working class party in every state in this country.
Right now, workers from very different occupations and industries are standing together to fight back against corporate greed and to organize for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Solidarity forever!
Democrats must do more to win back working class voters from a Republican Party that wants to cut Social Security, cut Medicare, and give massive tax breaks to billionaires and hugely profitable corporations.
I voted against the bloated $900 billion Pentagon budget this week because it is long past time to fundamentally change our national priorities.
The @uaw.union is fighting for all of us.
Democrats must reject austerity and end billionaire control over our economic and our political life.
The working class is standing up and fighting back.
Working class Americans are looking around and asking “who cares about us?” We have got to make it clear that Democrats stand with them and that we are prepared to take on the unprecedented corporate greed that is happening right now.
“Governors, like Greg Abbott, are stripping workers’ rights to water breaks away from them during a deadly and historic heat wave.” Listen to @GregCasar explain why we need need federal heat protections for workers.
MAINERS: You have a chance to take control of an important part of your daily life by supporting the @pinetreepowermaine campaign. Maine can have cheaper, more reliable power—and help fight climate change at the same time.
I stand in strong solidarity with UE Locals 506 & 618 who are on strike fighting for better wages and working conditions at Wabtec in Erie, PA. If Wabtec can afford to spend over $1.1 billion on stock buybacks, it can afford to treat all of its workers with dignity and respect.
I’m endorsing @aaronregunberg for Congress because he will stand up to Big Pharma and Big Oil, and will fight for Medicare for All, bold climate action, raising wages, paid sick days, and a government that works for everyday people, rather than corporations and billionaires.
Thank you to Saint Anselm College and New Hampshire Democrats for today’s record crowd at @nhiop_pl. Together we can take on powerful interests and build a future that creates a just and democratic society based on love and compassion.
90 days in a row. No days off. Seven days a week. 12 hours a day. Yes, the Big 3 carmakers can afford to give workers like Michelle the pay and benefits they EARN.
TOMORROW at 7:30pm ET: The Big 3 car makers made $21 billion in the first 6 months of 2023. Join me, @uaw.union President Shawn Fain, and autoworkers for an important livestream discussion about their fight for economic justice.
There was once a time, decades ago, when union auto jobs were considered the gold standard for blue collar workers in this country. Sadly, that is no longer the case. But @uaw.union workers are fighting back. I’m proud to stand in solidarity with them.
