This is such positive, powerful, direct communication. The fact that this seems so remarkable and so rare speaks volumes about our failure to stand up to the fossil fuel lobby.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

The Apprentice was a tv show. But Trump believed what millions of other Americans did and bought into the myth of him being this infallible businessman.
In truth... his business failures are many and legend & lie scattered behind him like egg pallets that have fallen off a badly stacked truck.
