We can expect Trump will exploit every natural disaster to attack others rather than find solutions. Don’t waste energy being outraged. Stay focused on what you can do to provide support to help fix things. That can be donating, providing a helping hand or reminding people of real issues & facts.

Anybody who has suffered the abuse of a malignant narcissist—anyone who lived through Trump’s last four years in office—should know that feeding their ego is a bottomless, hopeless exercise. Yet here go all these genius tech bros thinking feeding the monster will work out for them.

I hope that everyone impacted by the truly horrific wildfires in Los Angeles remain safe. It’s almost impossible to fully comprehend the devastation caused by these fires — the worst in LA history — and my heart goes out to all of you. 💔

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out

Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

Trump set his lynch mob on the Capitol to intimidate Congress.

Now Elon has a digital lynch mob to intimidate his critics.

There is very little daylight between their fascistic tactics and ambitions.
