Why is every Democratic Governor not standing with him & saying this in unison?

Next step they publicly call on every Repub governor to join them in denouncing the regime's blatant authoritarianism. Sure Repubs won't join but it's how you shift the narrative!

Why are Dems so bad at politics!? 🤯

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

Not The Onion: Donald Trump’s Department of Energy is literally silencing its own employees from using the words “climate change,” “green,” “sustainability/sustainable,” or “emissions.”

The US conservative movement has organized & funded a massive anti-wind power campaign, based on lies & bullying. Researchers at Brown University have been investigating & revealing that campaign.

Now cons are pressuring the university to shut the investigators down.

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans 20 years ago.

Earlier this week, ~180 FEMA workers warned that Trump's cuts are setting the stage for a similar calamity.

The next day, dozens of them were punished. This is a perfect summation of Trump's homicidal hurricane policy.

People from the UK should come visit the US and stop in Pennsylvania where they are fracking everything and then visit New York where fracking was banned.

Talk to the people, drink the water....just be careful about drinking the water in Pennsylvania.

Reminder that this has always been concern trolling in the interest of fossil fuels - if they actually cared about whales, they would focus on vessel strikes (including those from oil tankers) and fishing gear entanglement, not to mention climate change.
