I know many folks are angry that Trump is the president during 250. That he doesn’t deserve to preside, and we don’t deserve to have him. But let’s remake this particular pairing of history into a proper reminder of what’s worth fighting for, and what to make more perfect. 🇺🇸

Keep calling your Congresspeople, keep showing up to protests, give money if you can, keep the pressure on them however you can. And build your local community support system too!

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

The people who have to insure our homes and cars know that climate change is real, because it affects their bottom line. It's not that regulating emissions is bad for business; it's just bad for a small number of industries that happen to be very powerful.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
