Looking for honest discourse, actual facts; I’m a champion for women’s rights, advocate for science and responsible action to combat climate change, sick of the corrupt GOP and clowns in orange turd’s cabinet. USA is now a joke thanks to MAGAts. Attorney.

Statement on Public Availability of Scientific Information and Scientific Evidence on Climate Change The AMS is a global community committed to advancing weather, water, and climate science and service.

The Trump administration has removed the chapter on climate change from the "Reference manual on scientific evidence", an essential handbook for judges as they weigh evidence in court. The response of the American Meteorological Society has just been published (below). And...[1/2]

Netanyahu, like Trump, would be in legal jeopardy if he wasn't in office.

Is it any wonder that these two keep killing people and starting illegal wars?

They are fine with the killing in order to stay out of prison.

When Trump asks for something, anything, from his regime (including Congress Republicans), then you know he’s hiding something evil.

The #SAVE Act is hideous.

It’s estimated to STOP voting by upto 14%, mostly women.

Voting fraud is actually minimal. Would Trump lie about that?Absolutely yes.

Richard Grenell was once Ambassador to Germany. He meddled with internal politics (meeting with far right groups in Germany and such) which is a super-nono to do in ambassadorial circles. It was so bad, the German government uninvited him from certain official events and thought about expelling him.

Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei has laid out two conditions for ending the war: full US compensation for all Iranian losses, and a 100% security guarantee contingent on a complete US military withdrawal from the Persian Gulf. Rezaei stated the end of the war is Iran's decision to make. #Iran

War for Donald Trump is another form of rape. Its the projection of power
He speaks about killing people the same way he raped powerless girls to make himself feel powerful

‘We Would Be Entering a Completely Different World’ What happens if oil hits $200 a barrel?

“If the strait remains closed for even a month…sustained higher oil prices could plunge the world into a recession, raise borrowing costs, alter the outcome of ongoing wars, and shift the balance of global-power competition in favor of Russia and China”

Jake Paul claims to be 6'1'', but he got "measured" by people who are dedicated to get the real height from celebrities and such, by standing right next to them. And they concluded: Paul is 5'11'' (180 cm). Trump claims to be 6'3'' (191 cm), but Xi Jinping is 5'11'' and Trump is his exact height.

The only risk in playing Russian Roulette is that you pull the trigger when a bullet's in the chamber. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.

How many lives will be lost?

How many families will be destroyed?

How much suffering will be inflicted upon the world because our Tyrant-in-Chief launched us into another unwanted forever war based on his feelings?

The felon bombed the North Korean Embassy in Tehran. So there are so many possibilities that could happen. I hope the threat is a false flag for California, but no one should be naive. I will never forget 9/11. Anything is possible.

Israel targets Lebanese state infrastructure, destroying a bridge to cut off parts of sth #Lebanon. Israel Katz, Israel’s defense min, says “this is only the beginning” & Lebanon will lose territory & infrastructure until Hezbollah disarmed. Netanyahu asks for more civilian targets

The Iranian regime was wobbling during the protests. Trump could have financially/practically helped opposition figures. It might actually have worked, but he never gave a damn about Iranians. The most effective & least dangerous path to regime change was blocked off by his lack of empathy.

Ukraine is helping us in Iran. Russia is helping Iran. Trump is helping Russia.

Think about the standards of decency & decorum we’ve held every previous presidential candidate to.

Imagine me showing you this post 15 years ago & telling you this is what our president sounds like when our brave men and women in uniform were at war.

We warn fellow members of the Muslim community that at some point the GOP would return to demonizing Muslims. The GOP simply rotates their hate depending on need. Their hatred towards Latinos is costing them votes so now it's Muslims. Soon they will be back to LGBTQ, Blacks, women and repeat.

TRUMP SUGGESTS HIS NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM DOESN’T DISAGREE MUCH: “I CONVINCE THEM ALL” Donald Trump told Fox News that while he allows his national security team to voice opinions, differences are minimal because “I convince them all to let’s do it my way.”

She also was the target of an attack ad recently. Since she has nothing really in her past that would be problematic, they had to go all the way back when she was 16 and endorsed (as much as a kid can with a private twitter account) Marco Rubio for president. They're that desperate to derail her.

JD Vance says Trump wants trade with Russia restored.

While Russia continues its war against Ukraine.

Sanctions were designed to isolate the Kremlin’s war economy.

Reopening trade would reverse that pressure.

Israel has wanted to invade Iran for 40 years.

They were just waiting for a US president dumb enough to help them.
