How’s the everyone’s Boycott Day going? I stayed off Meta, didn’t buy anything, reduced my Google usage (including Gmail and YouTube). Took the dog for a walk, did a little garden cleanup. Saw friends and wrote some postcards for a local election. Easy peasy. You?

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

This seems an appropriate time to repost my latest article on climate change and the insurance industry.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Horrified by fires in the Los Angeles area. Keeping everyone affected in my thoughts. Please stay safe and follow the instructions of local officials. We all owe a huge thank you to the courageous firefighters risking their lives right now.

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵

Solidarity to people that bike in Toronto protesting the conservative Ford government removing bike lanes. #BikeDEN stands with you.
