Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

During Trump’s first term, @fastlerner.bsky.social covered the EPA and the conflicts of interest of the political appointees running it.
This time around, Trump’s already told oil executives he’d roll back environmental rules and policies, including climate protections. Talk to her.
