For what it's worth, the human rights violations being committed by our current administration are only seen at the tips of the various icebergs, of which there are many.
Brace yourselves for what we find when they are no longer in control.

As families struggle with rising electricity bills, the Trump administration is intent on delivering coal for the holidays and forcing households to pay for it . This bailout of the failing coal industry locks us into higher costs. Coal isn’t just dirty — it’s expensive.
Why Are Electricity Bills Going Up?
Electricity rates are set to skyrocket, fueled by the Trump administration’s war on cheaper clean energy and push for expensive fossil fuels.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:
Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection.

@vanhollen.senate.gov , don’t forget they are also looking to enrich themselves, buddies, and tech bros with deep sea mining, offshore oil/gas. This will destroy coastal, marine and terrestrial environments. Also, they are rolling back species protection. They are dismantling science. Lots going on.
Yet another case of Trump looking to protect his donors & buddies in the oil & gas industry, even if it means killing good paying jobs in clean energy and polluting the air we breathe.
In Trump-world, it’s all about what you’ve done for him.

Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

"We don’t need to weaken environmental protections to get cheaper, cleaner energy."
@velazquez.house.gov was clear: what we really need are policies to speed up renewable energy deployment and hold polluters accountable.

Despite what oil lobbyists claim, it’s not true that environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act are slowing down renewable energy projects.
