THREAD: Climate & Nature Protection solutions as a vision for a better world
1. Our movement needs a cohesive, inclusive, POSITIVE vision that makes clear how climate & environmental issues are not extrinsic (oh, the environment, out there, it doesn't affect my life), but rather very much intrinsic

Also, a lesson to every DOJ lawyer & law enforcement official. A lesson to everyone.
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.
