As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Ageism needs to stop.
Retirees also carry the burden of our conscience to the streets.

Retirees are mobilizing to defend democracy—and the benefits literally show up in their DNA.

Ageism is bullying.
Generationalism is ludicrous.
Every generation has challenges specific to their era and to paint specific generations with a negative broad brush is just plain lazy and stupid.
If being called out for being lazy and stupid bothers you then stop it.

There really is a LOT of good climate news:
“California now often produces more than 100% of its electricity needs through renewables, led by solar, in the daytime. The excess goes into the batteries…California uses 44% less natural gas to produce electricity than it did two years ago.”
“California now often produces more than 100% of its electricity needs through renewables, led by solar, in the daytime. The excess goes into the batteries…California uses 44% less natural gas to produce electricity than it did two years ago.”
I had been dreading the treaty anniversary as an occasion to note that we have not done nearly enough, but in July I thought we might be able celebrate it. Because, on 23 July, the international court of justice handed down an epochal ruling....

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.
Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

While the federal level under mr Trump are sliding into the solutions of the gilded age, on the state level focus is still on the solutions of the future. Like in Oregon, for example. Good good. There's still hope.
