Prediction: after Helene and Milton, this is going to be in no small part a climate election. #HarrisWalz2024 is not perfect on this issue, but they are a hundred times better than #TrumpVance2024 Vote for survival, solidarity, and solar

We need to be very clear about this. NOAA will be broken up & privatized under Trump. So you will literally have to PAY to get weather information. The very thing that is saving people right now, by telling them to evacuate, will be gone under a second Trump administration.

I have some real concerns about what another Trump presidency means for women in this country — and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. If this resonates with you, send this video to every single person you know and remind them what’s at stake in this election.

MLK’s daughter writes: A vote for Kamala Harris is not an endorsement of US funding for the war. It does not mean you are forsaking your right to protest her actions and policies. But she is the candidate who will protect our constitutional right to protest.

As we start to hear the finger pointing punditry, let’s not be confused. The deep roots of racism, sexism and xenophobia is what happened here. America has always been an idea and white supremacy remains the original sin and the enemy of our ideals. Capitulation isn’t an option!

Thank you Robert D. Bullard for the encouraging words this morning: we are in a long-term, multi-generational relay race and the end goal will ALWAYS be justice for all. #ACSP2024

In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

No but deadass people like this are HEROES. During COVID, Princeton tracked evictions nationwide (and still do) One grad student in this country tracks menstrual products in prison laws nationwide Somebody in Cali tracks tenants’ rights laws nationwide Data is POWER

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important. We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8

So, what does the re-election of Donald Trump mean for climate change? We can make some educated guesses based on his first term, his campaign, and the expressed wishes of his allies. A few of my thoughts as a thread. 🧵

10. So the question isn’t whether Harris listened to voters’ economic concerns. She did. The question is why voters didn’t hear her. The question isn’t whether she ā€œmoved too far to the leftā€ on transgender issues, etc. She didn’t. The question is why voters believed otherwise.
