🚨New PNAS Paper w/@stysyropoulos.bsky.social 🚨 90% of US Christian religious leaders accept humans drive climate change. Sharing this info w/Christians boosts seeing climate action & voting for candidates who take climate action as consistent w/their church's values. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2419705122

The Trump administration has plans to dismantle a FEMA program that funds climate adaptation projects to help communities and states prepare for weather disasters. (Like the ones we keep having in KY.) @zteirstein.bsky.social Jake Bittle @gristnews.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/04/07/f...

“The power of the people is greater than the people in power.” #handsoff #april5 @indivisible.org

This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA. No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful. Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

Unacceptable!

The world’s largest insurance company is warning that home insurance won’t survive runaway climate change. No home insurance, no mortgages for working people, and no middle class. What is Trump doing about this? Bringing it on faster. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s hard to think of a single act by a single human that instantly damaged as many plans, careers, dreams in as many places around the globe For a supreme (and cruel) narcissist, the rush must be exquisite The whole world has no choice but to watch this wretched man

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

The strategic leaking from inside the WH has begun.

By me and @andy-rowell.bsky.social Revealed: Trump’s fossil-fuel donors to profit from data-center boom and regulatory rollbacks - bad news for the climate crisis, water shortages and consumers centershttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/03/trump-fossil-fuel-donors-data-centers

In the midst of everything else, don’t miss this story. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Me too!

The only thing being liberated today is money from the bank accounts of hard-working Americans.

“The power of the people is greater than the people in power.”

Yep

I loved being with 22,299 other people that are going to keep fighting! #resist

We're hearing that 7 Senate Democrats may vote for the CR. Please keep calling! Tell your Senators you do not support a CR where Congress loses the power of the purse!!!

It’s not even been a month since Elon Musk’s inauguration. Sorry, it’s not even been a month since Trump’s inauguration — but it’s easy to forget with Musk getting access to everything he wants. Instead of giving into despair, put your anger to use: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

As climate scientists predicted decades ago, climate change means weather chaos (with crop failure & food insecurity worldwide) "Unprecedented! Normally, we'd see a disruption of the POLAR VORTEX every other year or so. THIS NEXT POLAR VORTEX EVENT WILL MAKE 10 THIS WINTER!" via Glenn Burns

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times. Does MAGA care to comment?

If DOGE wants to cut actual government waste, are they going to cut subsides to fossil fuels, Big Ag, and military contractors too? I’ll just wait…

I will not quit for what is right!!! Make our representatives do the same.

The US has lost its biggest ally over this one of many lies, threats and offending remarks Trump the Liar has said about our kind neighbor and its leader. When Canada hits us with a promised, corresponding tariff on their oil, WHICH WE NEED, we will be fucked. ====================

A key federal agency overseeing 15 million acres of public lands in California has halted some critical fire prevention work because of the massive freeze in government funding directed by Donald Trump.

🔥🔥🔥

Trump disbanded school safety board on January 24. giffords.org/press-releas...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

People are so stupid!

Are you wondering what your community is losing when all funding was illegally stopped from the IRA and Bipartisan Infrastructure Act? Here it is. In my home state of AZ a lot of it is going toward drought resilience. Call your representatives today! Don't know how check out 5calls.org.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Folks, this sucks. I’m so sorry to all of my “probationary” colleagues, within NCEI / NWS / NOAA / Elsewhere, that are dealing with this right now.

Let’s all be like @warren.senate.gov! #resist #protect

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.
