Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · 1h

Citizens' Impeachment: in your inboxes right now are instructions for tomorrow's action.

We will be contacting Congress and asking if they are ready to support impeachment for treason.

If just 1% of the United States sent an email to their reps, it would shock our political system into action.

Please speak to the role that rightwing media has played for years now in villifying liberals & convincing conservatives that we are coming for their guns & children, etc. They created the perfect environment for a dictator.

Please reinstate The Fairness Doctrine that Reagan repealed in '87.

The Groundswell Collective has planted 16 tiny forests at schools and parks, packing as many as 900 trees into spaces as small as a basketball court. ❤️ 🌲

The tiny forests:
* grow 10x faster
* are 30x denser
* are 100x more biodiverse
than if created via traditional planting methods

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) since the Last Interglacial is reconstructed, showing orbital-scale shifts in ACC position driven by eccentricity and precession, possibly counteracting the predicted southward shift due to global warming.

Latest research calls this a crucial turning point for the global power system. Let's keep this trend going - a world powered by renewables IS possible.
