It was an unbelievable year for global climate.

As data is released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new climate change records. Apologies for all my graphs in advance!! 😬

If Trump becomes president again, after all we know ,and you supported his campaign you will have participated in the end of American democracy.
You will not be rewarded by your leader beyond a rush you might seek for upending civility.
You aren't part of his plan.
He is the entirety of his plan and the future will belong to him.
Not you.
You won't get a thank you or a knowing nod.
He will allow you to buy trinkets with his image and name emblazoned.
Trump is a despicable example of human kind.
Devoid of compassion.
Devoid of any respect for knowledge and education.
Trump is the fully realized Id.
He will have no guardians , no guard rails and no shame.
He cannot tell the difference between what he is and what he wants.
There is none when you analyze the situation.
He flunks Descarte's building block syllogism automatically.
He can't think so no therefore.
Ego driven rage and revenge.
If you're inclined to assist him please rethink your reasons.

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: https://t.co/uBmJhBX3Xd That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.

The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate

This hurts and I’m tired of it.

The horrible new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds Donald ahead by 9 points against President Biden.

The MEDIA is to blame for this.

In 2016, watching broadcast and cable news normalize Donald, a corrupt and incompetent man, was very difficult for me to endure.

They presented him as if he were a legitimate candidate, despite the many failures and crimes he’d left in his path for over 60 years.

They had no problem airing his rallies in full; they ignored credible allegations of business fraud and sexual assault—as well as actual evidence of his multiple bankruptcies, horrific treatment of treatment of workers, and gob-smacking failure as a “deal-maker.”

And you know what’s horrifying?

They are doing it again. And this time, it’s worse.

As cable news organizations struggle for ratings, they spend more time talking about Biden’s age than Donald’s 4 indictments, 91 criminal charges, and disastrous first terms. Plus, Biden is only THREE years older than Donald!!! In 2016, Donald was the oldest president in history to be elected and no one talked about his age.

That’s because this narrative is complete bullshit.

It is not normal for someone with 91 criminal charges across four jurisdictions to be a party’s front runner for president.

It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who’s accused of launching a coup against our country as a legitimate candidate.

It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who was found legally responsible for rape as a legitimate candidate.

None of this is normal.

I know this poll is an outlier, but in a sane country Biden would be ahead by 40 points. In a healthy, functioning democracy, Donald would not even be allowed to run.

I’m fighting back in part by cataloguing in my newsletter not just his crimes but the crimes and complicity of his enablers. We know the corporate media won’t do it on their own. 👇🧵

Help me get the word out before the media’s kid glove treatment gets Donald back into the White House.

We can’t let that happen.
