If a nurse murdered patients under their care the public would demand accountability in the form of criminal investigation and prosecution. I think that counts as a reckoning. So yes, let's have a reckoning.
With the #climate crisis now a third-rail issue, all the more important to stay informed by reading DeSmog, Inside Climate News, and The Daily Climate. Keep talking about it!
It’s still with us.
I had to wait till March to gift another spot on take from @willbunch.bsky.social

“Imagine what a weapon it would be in ICE’s hands if child welfare is added to all the other areas where a conviction for the most minor offense means deportation,” said Richard Wexler of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform.
"[Trump] has unilaterally launched a war of choice against Iran without congressional authorization...putting the lives of American troops on the line and risking a ... regional conflict in the Middle East.
... I am calling on Speaker Johnson to bring the House back into session immediately.” 👍
DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE
My father-in-law was an immigrant. He wound up working as an engineer for the Apollo space program.

A literal ray of sunshine in the ICE nightmare
There is no Constitutional provision for investigating the president for sex crimes when the Dow is over 50,000. So it's safe to say the Framers would take a dim view of the Radical Left's Epstein witch hunt.
