A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
This is the kind of courage that is embarrassingly absent in the ranks of U.S. Republican lawmakers
One can only hope that the brave few who *have* spoken out will soon be joined by others...before it's too late
Because I'm shocked at the pace with which things are getting out of hand in the States

Pipeline or no pipeline, fossil fuel employment will continue this long-term decline, not mostly due to climate policy: it's economics, technology & profits that explain why FF jobs are gradually disappearing. FF workers deserve real support, not fake denialism. This webinar will discuss how.
