The Shawl Weavers' Uprising of April 29, 1865 is known as the world's first trade union movement. It happened long before the Chicago incident or even before the Russian or Chinese communist revolutions, which were touted as the result of worker's resistance to exploitation.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

"This doesn’t make America healthier or greater. It makes us sicker, smaller and uglier than we have been in at least a generation." Trump and Lee Zeldin just ordered the closure of ALL EPA environmental justice offices, an extreme action that will cause more deaths and sickness from pollution.

🚨 Trump just ordered the closure of all of the EPA's environmental justice offices and terminated the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Trump and Musk are further punishing communities who have suffered the most from pollution to maximize Big Oil and corporate profits. The cruelty is the point.

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

This is not a surprise. We know what causes CO₂ to increase in the atmosphere and we know how to stop climate change. We just don’t want to.

The Trump administration put an apartheid billionaire in control of US government spending and he is now literally going line-by-line cancelling billions of our own tax dollars from being given to Black and Brown businesses and communities across the US. This is a white supremacist dictatorship.

There is no evidence that this disaster was related to diversity efforts, "lowered standards," people of color, women, or people with disabilities. But Trump doesn't care. He MUST blame anything bad on those things, because his bigotry compels him and his cult eats it up

Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

Heatmap has obtained a list of federal energy and climate programs targeted by the Trump administration’s massive funding freeze. This follows Monday’s announcement of a pause on federal grant programs that “advance[s] Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies.”

The most important job for the media over the next two to four years is to attribute all the horrible things happening in the world to Trump’s actions, much like they should connect extreme events to climate change and our abuse of fossil fuels.
