Call it by its name: Trumpcession

"In a few short weeks, President Trump has severely damaged the governmentā€™s ability to fight climate change, upending American environmental policy with moves that could have lasting implications for the country, and the planet." @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/c...

šŸšØElon Musk and his teamā€™s purge of the federal workforce is already hurting Americaā€™s parks and public lands, while oil and gas industry loyalists shift remaining government resources to prioritize corporate profits. www.americanprogress.org/article/amer...

So weā€™re all just supposed to keep living in this world where the President scolds a country under siege on national television for not being grateful enough??

Today marks 3 years since my breast cancer diagnosis. I am so grateful for the amazing health care I received from @uchealth.bsky.social, and continue to receive. Cancer is a lifelong journey, and Iā€™m only 3 years in. But Iā€™m here.

ā€œClearly, we need to put an end to this stunt that will fuel a REAL energy emergency, kill thousands of jobs, and raise electricity costs on American families.ā€ @senatorheinrich.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov are working to protect working families and stop Trumpā€™s sham ā€œenergy emergencyā€ šŸ‘

ā€œDonald Trump and his administration are attacking wind projects. They're attacking solar projects." @kaine.senate.gov called out Trumpā€™s sham "energy emergency" for what it is: a giveaway to Big Oil that is killing jobs & raising costs for working families. "This is no emergency." šŸ‘‡

At his cabinet meeting, Trump revealed plans to cut EPA by 65%. It's no surprise that corporate polluters close to Trump want him to gut EPA, but this is the first time Trump has publicly said he plans to do it. Here's what it means for all of us and how we stop it... x.com/EricLDaugh/s...

I heart Tina Smith.

Itā€™s SO weird. I must still be having chemo brain fog. I donā€™t remember Elon Musk on the ballot this past November - does anyone else??

NEW POLLING data shows that regardless of political party, voters care more about conserving public lands than using them for oil and gas development. This margin is wider than it has ever been in the pollā€™s 15-year history. www.coloradocollege.edu/other/stateo...

Tonight my partner said ā€œyou were rightā€ about something I advised him on earlier but he made the other (wrong) choice. Truly, in our ten year relationship, that phrase is the most precious gift he has ever given me.

Snow day? This Westie says Bring it on!

Happy I-wish-we-had-a-different-President day!

Havenā€™t forgotten.

Feels like a metaphor

I have only one more of these to take today. This is a breast cancer drug approved by the FDA in September of 2021. I am beyond grateful to the federal government and NIH for their life saving breast cancer research. Well funded government projects and funding save lives.

HAPPY GALENTINE'S DAY!!!

So - let me get this straight. A billionaire is withdrawing funds from a Congressionally allocated emergency resource - without any legal repercussions?

Whether itā€™s the Arctic Refuge or Bears Ears, Americaā€™s public lands are irreplaceable. They safeguard water and wildlife and boost our economy through recreation. We canā€™t allow Trumpā€™s puppets & billionaires to destroy them in the name of profits. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Their hypocrisy is literally and metaphorically painfully predictable

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Five reasons why the Trumpā€™s administrationā€™s actions wonā€™t lower energy prices or benefit consumers: www.americanprogress.org/article/open...

"Mr. Trump and Republicans in Congress are also working to repeal the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act . . . So far, Republican-voting communities have benefited the most from that law." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

The Chiefs losing is just the beginning of the MAGA losses since Tā€™s re-electionā€¦ šŸŒŠšŸ‘‹šŸ¼

When I die I hope this is how I go: eating a lime coconut macaron sloppily, crumbs falling down my shirt, laughing, no regrets.

Itā€™s quite something, to feel gaslit by your own country.

Proud to work with Tejada here @nrdc.org. Environmental justice is the key building block in the just transition we need to save our planet.

Every day I wonder how this administration can possibly shock us more, and every day they out shock me.

Print this one out and put it on your refrigerator

How my dog feels about another week coming up in Trumpā€™s America.

Still.
