This is not normal. This government gets closer and closer every day to declaring war on its own people. This post is a clear and direct statement of intention to defy the Supreme Court and end rule of law in the United States.

A lot of my work is unseen, even to the most careful observer. I've spent long hours for almost a week, admitting new students and onboarding them. (This takes a lot longer than you might think.)It's a pretty terrific group of kids from 27 countries on five continents. Excited to see them in action!

Climate change is disrupting weather patterns and causing extreme weather events that have and will cost you money and hurt you and your family. Please take action to help cut climate pollution and ask elected officials and candidates to act on climate. It’s urgent.
