Voters across most racial, gender, income and age groups supported Democrats at a higher rate than in 2016, with the largest gains among women and young people.

These visuals of historical voting demographics are fascinating. Especially the one that shows income brackets.

In moments of great emotional stress, we revert to our worst habits: we dig in and fight harder. The real trick is not to get better at fighting — it’s to get better at stopping ourselves: at taking a deep breath, calming down, and letting our better natures take over from our worst instincts.

Moving on from 350.org...

Dear Friends,

I’d like to share some bittersweet news: I'm planning on leaving 350.org in early 2016. As a co-founder of the organization, it's taken me a long time to come to this decision, and it's been among the toughest in my life to make. I feel confident that it's the best one for me and the organization.

As we launch into new, exciting and gamechanging campaigns, establish new structures and reinvent ourselves to help make the climate movement even more impactful, I want to make space for the many talented leaders both inside and outside our organization who can take us into this new phase with new energy, new perspectives and new ideas.

In the coming weeks, I'll begin transitioning some of my responsibilities to others on our team. I don’t know what exactly the future holds for me, but I know that my life’s work of fighting for justice will continue in some way, shape, or form.

Lastly, I’d like to extend my gratitude to you -- friends, colleagues and co-conspirators, who have supported and challenged me over the last decade of campaigning. It's been a privilege to work and play with you. Together, we’ve built an incredibly powerful global climate movement that is unstoppable, and for that I (and future generations) will be forever grateful.

Many thanks,

Phil

PS - Take my job! No, really, I’m looking for a talented individual with extensive campaign management experience to become 350’s next Political Engagement Director. Check out the job description here and ping me with any questions or names of awesome people I should talk to.

The Troll, then, is not merely a monster. He is more a pathetic figure. He is a creature whose destruction is born in his very triumph, who carries the burden of his own demise on the shoulders that lift him to glory. That is why we should not fear trolls, but instead laugh gently at them. For the very fragile mechanisms of their conquest are themselves what, breaking down at the moment of truth, what undo them.

As Jews, we have a responsibility to push back against even the suggestion that our country would register Muslims, refugees or anybody because of their religion, race or country of origin. Our parents and grandparents have seen this before, and we know that hateful rhetoric can lead to real violence. http://actionnetwork.org/petitions/reject-hate-accept-more-refugees
