Throughout the campaign, Donald Trump, JD Vance, their spokespeople, and surrogates relied on overt, unapologetic racism, targeted anti-trans ads & messaging, and widespread disinformation. After a campaign built on lies, what can we expect from them now?
Campaign With Lies, Govern With Lies
Climate disinformation was a crucial component of the Trump/Vance campaign and victory. The lies will continue into their administration.

"The idea that AI’s climate benefits will outpace its environmental costs is largely speculative...Microsoft is trying to convince the public that by investing in a technology that is also used to enrich fossil-fuel companies, society will be better equipped to resolve the environmental crisis." 🫠
Karen Hao: Hundreds of pages of internal documents plus interviews "show that the tech giant has sought to market the technology to companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron as a powerful tool for finding and developing new oil and gas reserves" while publicly committing to reduce emissions.
