They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables. California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world. Let that sink in. #energysky #greensky

One thing I'm deducing from the whole "eat like great-grandma did" discourse is that The Jungle fell off the high school syllabus at some point and we should put it back.

1/6 Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. ❤️ “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches... They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports... It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.

Man, this is absolutely brutal. At the very least, I'm glad he got to talk to his mom about the big moment and say good bye :(

One thing you have to keep in mind with history is that everything seems impossible until it isn't. This is why you have to fight for what is right even if it seems impossible. Trumpism seems overwhelming now, but that doesn't mean it's going to last forever. It might suddenly collapse! 1/x

"In Poughkeepsie, N.Y., a 90-year-old man using a walker came to a field office because he thought he had to prove he was still alive. In Clinton, S.C., a woman with one leg fell down in the parking lot after coming into the office to show her identification."

Oregonians showed up yesterday to send the powerful message to Trump that we are speaking up and pushing back. There's a long road ahead, but cracks are starting to form in their attack on America. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to push the pendulum back to a better America.

RIP Pax Americana: "We cannot overstate what has just happened. It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order."

I just spoke with Senator Wyden's Social Security staff and told them my whole ordeal today with the "My Social Security" portal. I am SO grateful & thankful to have an ally in the Senator who I have been advocating with for Social Security and Medicare since 2017. He is 1 of the BEST in Congress.🙏

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cory Booker breaks the record for longest Senate speech, previously held by segregationist Strom Thurmond.

submitted 65 days ago • 328 comments

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.
