The ones boasting of peace are the ones responsible for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The world must hold all those accountable for the horrors witnessed and war crimes committed over the past two years.

He’s saying, “will you give me permission to listen to your heart?”

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth.
An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.

Gentle reminder that Trump is not president yet. Everything happening right now is still under the better party this system has to offer.
What are they doing for the disasters unfolding now, or to protect us against what's coming? Less than nothing. They're giggling at funerals together.
