TELL THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE, SPACE, AND TECHNOLOGY THAT THEIR CLIMATE-DENYING BS IS UNACCEPTABLE. 

From Maressa Brown Levy: The fact that the verified, official Twitter account House Committee on Science, Space, & Technology has tweeted a climate change-denying link from Breitbart (http://www.nbcnews.com/…/house-science-committee-tweets-cli…) is INTOLERABLE.
Let's call the people on the committee and our own reps about this B.S! Here are the names of the people on this Committee: https://science.house.gov/about/members
SCRIPT (feel free to modify and shorten if it's too much for you, but all the info you need is in there!):
Hi, my name is [your name], and I'd like to bring to [insert your Rep/Sen.'s name] attention that today, the House Committee on Science, Space, & Technology tweeted a story from Breitbart -- a far-right, opinion-based site that is not a credible source and is also a huge platform for the "white supremacy" aka white supremacists. This is nothing short of an abhorrent disgrace. Congress represents all Americans, the overwhelming majority of whom are threatened, horrified, and disgusted by the hateful rhetoric pedaled by Breitbart. The overwhelming majority of Americans also support immediate, aggressive action on the very FACTUAL threat of climate change. http://www.gallup.com/…/concern-global-warming-eight-year-h…
Seeing a government institution tweeting links from Breitbart, let alone false information about climate change, is inexcusable. I ask that you please speak out against this unacceptable action -- and fight for facts and action on climate change on behalf of your constituents. Thank you!

Fit for the fight and picking up the 100 pound phone

By
A silver lining these days, for me, is the energizing sense that I can be useful. And I would advocate to my sisters and brothers (all over this land...) that in order to be really sharp and have stamina for a freedom fight, we need to take radically good care of ourselves. Today's Action Ideas: 1. Get fit for the fight!  So, if you haven't already, step away from the cacophony for a little while.  Put that oxygen mask on yourself so you can help others. For me, this takes the form of eating real food.  It's helpful that industrial, junky, soul-sucking "food" reminds me so directly of the President-Elect.  Exhibit A: the Cheeto.  Florescent orange, fatty, salty, sugary, made from all kinds of Monsanto madness and chock full of lies and illness. Get some sleep, exercise, get fresh air (while you can.)  Here are some of my favorite resources on eating and living well: Forks Over Knives Kris Carr Rich Roll 2. Make a phone call to your repres...

Pick a Place - and Protect It

By Anonymous
The news about Trump's ascendancy continues to be dire and those of us feeling the pain are curling into mental fetal positions. I have only the hope that the battle to save our natural treasures will go through courts of law long enough to restore more compassionate leadership. Expect lots of lawsuits and counter lawsuits. The scale of what's coming is daunting. But when I look in my back yard, my neighborhood, my community, the challenges are parsed into components I can tackle. Spending more time connecting with friends and reaching out to make new friends; creating native habitat for local plants, birds and animals; volunteering with and/or donating to local organizations that provide essential health and social services; selecting a key cause or two and really putting your shoulder to those wheels. Pick a place - any place you really care about - and dedicate yourself to protecting that place. Even if it's just your backyard. It's a start toward creating the wo...
