"[The United States government] can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other."

We can do both - protest an unfounded war that another country led us into and hold pedos and sex traffickers accountable. Especially when they are coming from the same orange clown and foreign country that plays the US like a puppet.

Perhaps he made so much money selling "How Did I Get Itaq Wrong?" he recognizes a big opportunity for his next book, five years from now, "How Did I Get Iran Wrong?"

Being economically dependent on fossil fuels is bad for our budgets. Let's wean ourselves off this unaffordable, unreliable, unhealthy energy. There is a powerful policy with many co-benefits to help us get started: carboncashback.org/carbon-cash-back

Warnings to citizens to evacuate 3 days into this war, when airspace is closed, is a clear sign of ZERO strategy and planning by the Trump admin.

Now Americans have limited options to evacuate at an extremely dangerous moment with no government assistance. This admin is failing its citizens.

It's time to close the growing US carbon price gap with a cash-back carbon fee on fossil fuel production and a CBAM, for children, workers, and all those who have been left behind.

Republicans in Congress must tell their voters the truth, so the country can move past its Trump-induced nightmare. Then both parties must hold the Epstein Class accountable. All of them.

Can we hold the fossil fuel billionaires accountable for funding PR and politics to delay addressing their climate pollution, knowingly setting us up for tremendous damages and losses?

Trump knew this a decade ago, and is why he decided to run as a Republican.
Trump is a good conman, and knew he had the best chance at tricking Republicans.
Trump the billionaire liar is one of the Epstein Class, not one of us.
Release ALL the Epstein files now, with only victim names redacted.

Zeke Hausfather on X: ""There is greater acceptance now that there is a detectable acceleration of warming".

Great article by John Muyskens and Shannon Osaka in today's Washington Post: https://t.co/pelN5niKio https://t.co/g2rnue8F42

Lying through omission and taking statements out of context is an effective tactic of disinformation. How to innoculate the public against it and hold the fraudsters legally accountable?
Hausfather is clear about our dangerous present situation (though I bet Hansen is right): x.com/i/status/202...

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by β€œfree economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

This morning, I signed on to Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Secretary Noem & DHS employees have systemically violated the rights and privacy of Americans, terrorized our cities, and obstructed Congress.
