No matter where we live or what we look like, most of us want to breathe clean air and live in a healthy climate. But these rollbacks will expose America's families to more toxic pollution and climate disasters.

Pour faire face "aux pires coupes financières qui ont jamais frappé le secteur humanitaire", en particulier le retrait brutal des Etats-Unis, l'ONU a annoncé une réduction drastique de l'aide pour cette année, qui va laisser des dizaines de millions de personnes en détresse. ➡️ u.afp.com/SNWi

Seriously? Are we really going to have a military parade? At the cost of millions of dollars? While cutting aid the nation's poor? My latest from The Baltimore Sun #Trump #TrumpParade #cartoon #satire

BTW, our local coop's shelves are empty because their supplier was hit with a ransomware attack, which is very hard to get away with without crypto. Crypto is literally causing food shortages.

🧵 Since 2015, Donald Trump has posted nearly 3,500 times on social media to attack, belittle, and discredit journalists, news outlets and the industry. To better understand the impact of his anti-press rhetoric, we’ve cataloged his posts.
