Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c...
No Republicans attended today’s congressional hearing with brothers of Renee Good and three US citizens shot and detained by federal agents. Shame.
Post from Mac Randolph
RIP Alex Pretti,
He was my Dad’s ICU nurse. He read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video, but his speech is very on point.
Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration.
In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”
"If some of the price we pay for global peace and prosperity is an annual spectacle of self-important oligarchs complacently congratulating each other—so be it. Or perhaps it might be more accurate to say that was the price we *paid*."
How can Republicans (MAGA) look the other way?
Everything is getting more expensive for working people, but Trump is abusing his power to make himself at least $1.4 billion richer.
The most corrupt President in American history.
A government of, by, and for the crooks.
Best to enjoy your remaining days. We have crossed the Rubicon. Global suicide by a cult leader. Too late for later.
