Make no mistake: today’s vote to remove from the House Foreign Affairs Committee is an insult to all refugees in this country.
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of constituents that she represents — including me.

As a refugee of the Somali Civil War, @Ilhan has lived through the devastating impacts of war. Her experience is important, her voice is powerful, and she's a valued member of Congress. The disrespect of McCarthy and his extremist supporters for Rep. Omar is obvious and shameful.

🚨 MONTANA! Urgent action item for TOMORROW ⬇️

MONTANA!
I beg of you, if you care about transgender people, show up to stop SB99 TOMORROW.
It is an enormously bad bill for trans youth and would force their medical detransition by withdrawing them from their medication.
It can only be stopped if we show up in large numbers.

(b) DECLINING (0.6% in 2021 a/t BNEF).

I am so so sorry to hear that the brilliant Herman Daly - founding father of ecological economics - has died. His paradigm-changing work flipped my little econ head inside out & inspired me to write a book on rewriting economics… Here are just some of his big ideas 1/n.

When a man breaks into a party leader's home demanding to see her, and beats her 82-year-old spouse with a hammer when she doesn't appear...that sounds like an assassination attempt.
To call it "crime" is to actively obscure that it was an act of right-wing political violence.

This captures so much of what’s missing & necessary for a pro-democracy movement.
I just wish ‘pro-democracy’ could be more ambitious than ‘pro-elections.’ Periodic elections will not deliver the meaning, connections, or power necessary for real democracy.

Let's speak the truth.
In polls, fascism and liberal democracy are in a dead heat.
The pro-democracy side is at risk not just because the right isn't playing fair.
The left is struggling to win hearts and minds.
Here is a new playbook for how it can.

Sitting in this weirdly warm, dry, smoky October working to hold two things at once: 1) the anger and sadness of watching a world we love irreparably transform, and 2) the need to love and accept this world as it’s become, so we continue to find joy in, care for and fight for it.
