We love Ady Barkan. He was the best of humanity and he inspired each and every one of us -- because he never stopped believing in us.

Ady's legacy as an activist and organizer is unparalleled in our movement. We will forever be grateful for this progressive hero. Rest in power.

It is unacceptable to ban workers from wearing the protection they need to do their jobs safely. Every state in the country must pass laws like those in California that protect the right of employees to mask.

This isn't a climate solution. We can't "you do you" ourselves out of the climate crisis.

We need federal standards that protect workers from the heat, and to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Not a fan of this headline. 1.5C is not a “point of no return” for the #climate but rather a global goal to minimize human suffering. It’s not a magical tipping point.

Every fraction of a degree matters (1.5C warming is less bad than 1.6, 1.7 etc.).

Things are already bad - no need to make headlines more alarmist than they need to be!
