As ugly and dismal as it is unsurprising.
After less than a day in office, Trump’s actions have already set us back decades on climate:

❌ Withdrawing from the Paris Climate accords
❌ Halting critical wind power projects nationwide
❌ Halting spending on EV charging infrastructure
❌ Expanding drilling in the Arctic

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Just days before his inauguration, Donald Trump became the world's newest crypto billionaire by peddling a worthless meme coin to his followers.

It's the latest reminder that the entire crypto industry is a giant Ponzi scheme — and that Trump won't do a damn thing to regulate it.

Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans.

Don't let them get away with it.

Trump is the consequence rather than the cause of the anti-democratic surge.

Here's how the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision — issued 15 years ago today — overwhelmed our political system with money and brought us to our current moment.

Trump's Day One executive orders:

-Ended recognition of birthright citizenship
-Withdrew from WHO and Paris Climate Accord
-Rescinded Biden's EO to lower Rx costs
-Pardoned Jan 6 rioters
-Renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America

So much for helping working families.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.

And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.

Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?
Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.

The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more

Now those rules are gone.

Billionaires Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk all had a front-row seat to Trump's inauguration.

Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances.

We saw it in 1930s Germany, and we're seeing it again today.

Since Jimmy Carter is conveniently in DC, can we just inaugurate him as the 47th president? His corpse would surely be a better choice than the convicted felon/r@pi$t/malignant narcissist/stable genius again.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

I agree, you?
Maybe it’s just me, but I think the US flag should be at half staff for the next 4 years to mourn our dying democracy, our collapsed system of government and our disgraced nation for allowing a rapist convicted felon to seize full power of the US.
