Why isn't Trump treated like a Vexatious Litigant? He seems to lose many more cases/charges than he wins. And if he were considered to be a V.L. shouldn't he pay the cost of his frivolous lawsuits instead of the taxpayer?
For a 20+ years I have obsessed/depressed about global warming. Then Trump came along. He took my mind off one existential threat to another - himself.

All is vanity.
Let's destroy our environment, worsen global warming, and kill off our national forests so billionaires can make more money.
If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.
They are dehumanizing them đ
For the first time in 83 years, the voice of America fell silent this weekend. For more than eight decades, that voice had (not always consistently) championed democratic values, challenged tyrants and bullies. This weekend, Donald Trump silenced it. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress. The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.
If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word âterrorism,â then expect to be called a âterroristâ soon yourself.
You can't have it both ways. This country has been in chaos since that poser got back into the Whitehouse. Do we have a government or authoritarian rule?

I don't want to be a "spoiler" so will not divulge the title of a fairly current film that touches on this topic.
I see so many politicians reporting the news, aghast at the Trump/Elon regime. What I want to know - what are they doing about it?! If there are any decent Republicans left - what are you doing to prevent our country from becoming a dictatorshp?

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! Global sea-ice extent is now at an all-time record low in recorded history, with global sea-ice extent now 2.14 million square kilometers below the 1991-2020 average. Images of the current Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice extent are in the following posts in this thread.

Yes. ExxonMobil's own scientists DID predict how much the planet would warm given continued fossil fuel burning. And they DID warn us about the "potentially catastrophic events" that would result from that warming in their 1982 internal memo. #NewClimateWar #CaliforniaFire

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of COâ emitted makes the job of future COâ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Would Timothy Snyder's Lesson 1 be applicable: "Do not obey in advance"? Although greed is certainly a primary factor here.
Listen to On Point's Meghna Chakrabarti on NPR. She's discussing the possibility of the, think Trump regime, doing away with the Internet Archives. She gave an example of Elise Stefanik deleting an old Twitter post. Save documents people, on hard drives, not through the cloud. History matters!
My bad. Snyder's term is "shadow cabinet". (Duh.)
Historical documentation - get it out in the public sphere where Trump can't bury it.
I think the more precise description is "little bastard".
Shadow Cabinet open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... From Timothy Snyder, interesting ideas on a "shadow government" to the upcoming Trump Administration. Someone who is ready to counter, critique, and offer improvement to ideas put forth by Trump that would be lawful, better for USA...Pete Buttigieg ?
Totally agree. If Republicans want less people immigrating to the USA why don't they work on trying to keep the planet more livable for everyone?! Oh yeah - it's all about greed $ (and they're not that bright.) The richest men are already looking for another planet to put their flag on.)
In 2020, only 3.6% of the worldâs population lived outside their country of birth. People only leave their homes when they're desperate. If conservatives really care about immigration, they would focus on stopping climate change. Because that's going to cause refugee numbers to skyrocket.
