![Use and adapt our drafted comment below or write your own!
I strongly oppose the proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. The science is clear: greenhouse gases unequivocally harm our health and our environment. Weakening or repealing the Endangerment Finding will make it harder, and costlier to protect our communities from pollution and from the effects of climate change.
Optional: I care about this issue because [insert your personal reasoning here -e.g. "my father has COPD," "I recently lost my home to a devastating hurricane"]
I urge you to keep the Endangerment Finding in place and to apply science to protect our health and our environment for generations to come.

Oh.
"This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Again, in 2022, Congress passed a law that explicitly made these firings illegal. Are Republican senators unaware of that?
Lindsey Graham dismisses Trump illegally firing inspectors general: "He won the election. What do you expect him to do? Just leave everybody in place in Washington? This makes perfect sense to me."

Many years ago, a German colleague told me about the short movie "The Wave." Does anyone remember it? Is it still shown in school?
