The Most Impactful Things You Can Do for the Climate Aren’t What You’ve Been Told
Driving less, flying less, shifting home energy use and eating less meat all have a significant impact on the climate. But personal shifts alone aren't enough.

NEW: Here is Harvard's lawsuit against the Trump administration, filed today in federal court in Massachusetts (Docket No. 1:25-cv-11048): storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![In response to Harvard's defense of its own constitutional freedoms, the federal
Government announced that it was freezing "$2.2 billion in multiyear grants and $60M in multiyear contract value to Harvard University" (the "Freeze Order," attached as Exhibit C). Ex.
C at 2. Within hours of the Freeze Order, Harvard began receiving stop work orders. The freezing of federal funds amounts to final agency action and has put vital medical, scientific, technological,
and other research at risk. And that risk is growing. Just yesterday, it was reported that the Government is "planning to pull an additional $1 billion of [Harvard]'s funding for health research. "6
Defendants' actions are unlawful. The First Amendment does not permit the
Government to "interfere with private actors' speech to advance its own vision of ideological
balance," Moody v. NetChoice, 603 U.S. 707, 741 (2024), nor may the Government "relyl] on the
'threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion... to achieve the suppression' of disfavored speech," Nat'l Rifle Ass'n v. Vullo, 602 U.S. 175, 189 (2024) (citation omitted). The
Government's attempt to coerce and control Harvard disregards these fundamental First
Amendment principles, which safeguard Harvard's "academic freedom." Asociacion de
Educacion Privada de P.R., Inc. v. Garcia-Padilla, 490 F.3d 1, 8 (Ist Cir. 2007). A threat such as](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreie7c2k3yicbdlrxrlw3imh4vxjpse4lv37ko2oideuky2emjioobm@jpeg)

With Trump defying the Supreme Court to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia (along with hundreds of others) imprisoned in El Salvador, we find ourselves in a moral and constitutional crisis. Calls and emails to Congress aren’t sufficient to end these crises, but they are necessary.

Musk: When the United States was formed, there were only secretary of state, secretary of war, secretary of the treasury and attorney general. That was it. If it were up to me, I would say let's make it like that again.
