I voted for Carney. I think I did the right thing. I wish Prime Minister Justin Trudeau all the very best. He is the best Prime Minister I've ever had. I'm sad because I'm not ready to give that up. Absolutely the very best. A great great human being. A true Canadian.
Thank you to all those who reached out asking about my safety. I am home. But I cannot get the stories of the indignities Palestinian face out or my head. I am still processing it and wanted to share some of what I saw.
The media either has to stop interviewing the American Ambassador or be better prepared to push back on his bullshit. We all know what he is going to say, so ask him tough questions, bury him in facts and statistics.
He’s the “diplomat”. Not you. Enough.
“Big oil understood decades ago that the unchecked burning of fossil fuels would, in the words of their own senior employees’ internal communications, be ‘globally catastrophic,’ do ‘great irreversible harm to our planet,’…” https://t.co/mXJsgw87uF
If anybody knows the names of any of the far right white supremacists yesterday please publicly post it online so we can tag their employer, friends, and family for the rest of their miserable fucking lives
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
Climate change is canceling July 4 celebrations.
Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, just called off its 250th birthday parade because it's too hot to march. Yesterday tied Philadelphia's all-time record of 103°F and with humidity, it feels like 118°F there right now, according to AccuWeather.
First, organizers shortened the route; then they moved up the start time before finally sending out the notice overnight. (Floats alone were allowed to drive down the street, and Historic District venues have stepped up and are hosting as many events indoors as they can.)
In DC, the Great American State Fair has closed until 5pm due to extreme heat.
Heat waves aren't new. But I'm a climate scientist, and I can tell you heat waves like this are virtually impossible without fossil fuel pollution.
Not only that, but when extreme weather hits, research shows that connecting it to climate change helps people understand why it matters.
And you know who the most trusted people to do that are? Not scientists. You! Yes, people we know are the most effective messengers to have these conversations.
So if you're worried about what's happening and how extreme heat puts us at risk -- talk about it!
