Already a billionaire, Trump plans to steal $10 billion from US taxpayers with his lawsuit agains the IRS. Every republican on the ballot needs to be asked whether they are in favor of Trump stealing this money from the American people.
Trump's war on cheap clean energy and efforts to prop up expensive dirty coal mean everyone has to pay more for more pollution and worsened climate change.
Basically, no one should support Trump's climate policies unless you're a coal executive.
You know what is the ultimate anti-woke activity: raping kids with Epstein. This is why Trump has such a strong hold on his followers. He lives the anti-woke dream.
The GOP is the party of billionaire pedophiles. Anyone who isn't a billionaire and a pedophile, should be voting blue.
Whether our democracy is saved, or our climate is protected is up to us, and the individual actions we all take.
In this moment of peril for our climate and democracy, we should never forget our agency, our personal power. We are the central actors in this battle to save our democracy and protect our climate.
Both climate change and democracy operate like systems where small contributions add up over time. Therefore, empowering people to act (agency) is critical, because the cumulative effect of many actions determines the final outcome.
Without agency:
Climate action stalls because emissions continue accumulating.
Democracy weakens because participation declines.
Individual agency in elections can be decisive in the quantitative aspect of protecting democracy as votes are cast and seats are won.
Since both climate and democracy depend on aggregated contributions, individual and collective agency becomes essential.
Democracy is quantitative because prevailing in elections requires accumulating votes and winning seats. When you add up the seats you can seize power. Again with democracy, human agency matters because every vote counts and all those votes add up to political power.
All of us working together can reduce emissions and by doing so, reduce the suffering from future disasters like sea level rise, flooding storms and heat waves.
Because climate change is quantitative and cumulative, individual human agency counts, particularly as it relates to passing and implementing consequential climate policy.
Climate change is quantitative because it is cumulative. Every ton of emissions released into the atmosphere adds up and makes the problem worse. That means all the emissions restricted and reduced also count toward alleviating the problem.
We are not passive observers. We have agency. It is up to us to solve these problems.
We all have agency in the fight to protect our democracy and to preserve a sustainable planet because both efforts are quantitative and therefore, people can feel a sense personal agency in solving both problems. Every thing each one of us contributes counts toward the final result.
We are all upset about current threats to our democracy and climate. So upset we may be considering giving up in despair. But don't fret. Both of these crises can be resolved by all of us feeling our agency and working together.

Hello? Anybody home?
Climate "hushing" and avoidance has allowed Trump and the fossil industry to destroy decades of effort.
Where is the climate movement? Where are the Democratic politicians?
Vast majorities are concerned about climate change.

If we are truly sick of Trump and his GOP protection cult, there is only one way forward: partisan mobilization. If we oppose Trump, then we are the Democratic Party and the only way we will end this corrupt regime is if we help the Democrats prevail this November. Let’s get this done, folks.
The more people we can get to vote blue, the sooner Trump’s authoritarian nightmare will end. No one should vote GOP for any office until the Trump Cult is extinguished.
Now there may be those in our social networks who are willing to atone for their past GOP votes and vote blue in November. We should praise these people and welcome them with open arms. But we should ask them to ensure all their friends and family also vote blue this November.
If we are upset with what Trump and the GOP, we should no longer tolerate this behavior. The Democrats will be strong when everyone votes for them and it is up to us to make that happen.
Some complain the Democrats are weak but the only reason Democrats are weak is because we are weak. We are the Democratic Party and we are weak because we allow republicans to win elections. We are weak because we allow friends and family to not vote or vote GOP.
The only people responsible for these assaults on our freedoms are Trump, the Republicans and the people who voted for them.
Trump and Republicans are doing many horrible things right now, killing American citizens in the streets and restricting our free speech rights, and some blame Democrats for Trump and Republicans doing these things. They say, “it’s the Democrats’ fault.”
I know, for many, it’s not hip or cool to be a partisan Democrat, but now, with democracy hanging in the balance, isn’t the time to worry about style points. It’s time for all of us to stuff our egos and become partisan Democrats. If we don’t, we’re just surrendering to Trump.
Everyone opposed to Trump must become a partisan Democrat today. Those that refuse are just aiding and abetting Trump. This is the moment of reckoning. Everyone must pick a side.
