We are not in America. But if America falls, the world falls. So keep resisting, dear people of America. You saved the world from fascism once. The world needs you again. But this time, your battle is internal. We are all with you.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record. Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January. But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil. What planet are they living on?
