Truth matters. 🇺🇸

What's Donald Trump trying to hide?

@hcrichardson.bsky.social's offers facts about Jeffrey Epstein, his long friendship with Donald Trump, DJT's promise to America to release the files, and now his efforts at great length to keep them from us. Why?

Another look at our #NoKings rally for #democracy in KCMO.

*11k* people lined the Plaza streets. Cars circled the park, honking, waving signs, giving thumbs up, and joining in chants for freedom.

On behalf of another very concerned mom, thank you, @sciencemoms.bsky.social for airing this powerful ad calling for climate action during the Super Bowl! The time for sitting on the sidelines is over. We need all of us in the fight to have a chance! Thanks for getting the word out.

The progress we are making in the US to slash greenhouse gas emissions will be in vain if corporations who want to preserve the dirty status quo continue to manipulate trade deals. Join the Industrial Transformation campaign to stop the corporate greed. sc.org/industrialtr...

Chris Wright spent decades getting rich from fracking and has denied the health and climate impacts of the dangerous, polluting practice. He is the "personification of 'conflict of interest'" and should not be in charge of the nation's Department of Energy policy.

Chris Wright is a climate denying, dirty energy huckster who spent $400k on Trump’s campaign to buy the Energy Secretary role.

We’re here with @delia.bsky.social, @markey.senate.gov, and @rokhanna.bsky.social , all united in a simple message: his nomination is a threat to our democracy and future.

Loved this episode! So many important points covered:

- The outsized impact just a FEW voices at a local government hearing speaking out in favor of a clean energy project can have (especially in more rural areas) (1/3)
Today on Volts: opponents of renewable energy have been organizing to block it at the local level, with disturbing success. Now an org called Greenlight America is organizing supporters, tipping them off to important siting/permitting fights & arming them with good information.
Organizing local support for clean energy projects
Meet the organization helping communities say "yes" to clean energy

Here's the presidential election results mapped in the Kansas City metro area.

Half of the KC metro is in Missouri, where voters approved measures to legalize abortion and increase the minimum wage.

In this 🧵 you'll find maps of the ballot measures and a link to an interactive version of this map.
