Bernie Has Exceeded My Every Expectation

Submitted by LaFeminista on Wed, 04/27/2016 - 6:55am

How has a Senator from my tiny home State even run a globally known politician close? How has he even run her close despite the DNC and the media? How has he even run her close despite the corporations money, despite the broken electoral process, despite Citizens United and contrary to the talking heads inevitable coronation monologue?

Complete and utter disgust with the current social and political system.

Carbon Fee & Dividend; James Hansen is still fighting the good fight.

Submitted by tle on Tue, 04/26/2016 - 9:05am

James Hansen is still speaking out for a carbon fee & dividend system. In an interview with Yale 360 a few weeks ago, he said
