I agree with climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe! Every day should be Earth Day! 🌎💚 I took this quiz from her newsletter. If everyone lived like me, we'd need 2.2 Earths. 😳 Better than 5.5 Earths of average Americans, but I could do better. You? footprintcalculator.org/home/en

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...
