I was talking to a historian and he agreed. We will win because we have truth on our side, but it might take generations. 😓
We face many hurdles in the climate fight, but we have one major advantage: the facts are on our side.

Criminal-Trump’s domestic policy bill that just passed in the Senate would end federal support for wind and solar energy and also impose a new tax on future projects. How incredibly stupid & short-sighted. Another victory for the Luddites & a loss for the US consumers

The US is ending its “humanitarian parole” system so it can now deport those who were offered a safe haven from danger abroad and who came here legally. We are no longer willing to be humanitarian. What a message that sends around the world. Another despicable act by Criminal-Trump.

Can it get worse? Georgia requires brain- dead mother to be kept alive as she is pregnant. She is being kept alive with ventilators due to the state’s strict abortion law. Surely this is exceptionally cruel and unusual punishment for the mother and her family. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Why does the media refer to Criminal-Trump’s “falsehoods”? They are lies, plain and simple. Call it like it is. No more “ mis-spoke” either. A lie is a lie is a lie.

Criminal-Trump explained why he went to Rome for the Pope’s funeral: “I won the Catholic vote”. He is incapable of appreciating just how vacuous & shallow a response that is. Nothing about the Pope’s wisdom & humanity, concerns about the environment, empathy for the poor & oppressed- just pathetic.

NSF Director resigns noting “ .. the invisible hand of NSF propels the discovery engine of our nation..”. Nice. But Criminal-Trump is about to chop that hand off, for no good reason. Congress must assert its authority and make sure the draconian cuts being recommended are never implemented.

Trump’s delusional statement today: “..climate change will create more waterfront property”. And more underwater property too— a lot more. Warmer oceans and melting ice will accelerate sea-level rise and expand the areas subject to coastal flooding

So the position of the Trump-Vance administration — and every member of Congress unless they explicitly say otherwise — is quite literally you do not have guaranteed free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like.
That is the headline.
