It’s the anniversary of the devastating floods that hit Vermont in 2023 & 2024.
Homes destroyed. Roads washed away. Crops lost. We are still recovering.
Unless we combat climate change, this extreme weather will become more frequent, severe & damaging.
No more excuses.

And just to draw out the logic here: Trump's goal is to stoke an environment of such enormous fear that immigrants leave the U.S, to avoid the risk of being trapped in a hellish prison camp for life, and the threat that similar tactics will be deployed on U.S. citizens keeps the rest of us in line
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

It’s 11:47, and despite a deadline nearly 20 minutes ago and one already extended at its behest, the Trump administration has filed nothing to resolve Judge Xinis’s questions about their efforts to have Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the U.S.

There were four Republican-backed extreme constitutional amendments on the ballot in Louisiana yesterday.
The voters REJECTED them all (in a state Trump won by 22 points in November).
Keep the pressure on.

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work.
If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings.
Fighting back isn’t an option.
