Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.

The National Climate Assessment sites all went dark today after the Trump administration announced in April that it would allow the main contract supporting the report to expire.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Incredibly powerful statement from Mayor Johnston of Denver at today's congressional hearing on Sanctuary Cities. Denver received more migrants per capita from the southern border than any other US city over the last two years.
Had not heard Denver's Mayor speak.
