Note about the lawsuits being filed. A number are being filed (for appellate reasons) in the 1st Circuit, where all judges are Dem appointees. Most are being filed in DC, where all but a few judges worked their ass off the last 2 years on Jan6 cases that have since been disappeared.

Trump and his allies hope that if they keep flooding the zone with horrifying actions, we won’t notice all of them. They hope we’ll get demoralized. They hope we’ll curl into a ball and let them do whatever they want. We won’t give them the satisfaction. We’ll keep fighting back.

Hawaii's Mauna Lona observatory is where Charles David Keeling started the first continuous measurements of CO2 in 1958 - hence the name of "Keeling curve" for the graph showing annual variations and accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeling...) See post below this 👇!
