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.

Thanks for signing!

While federal action on climate change is moving in the wrong direction, there are very real things we can do locally that can have a BIG impact. In KC, that means closing the Hawthorn coal-fired power plant. Our window for action on the climate is closing rapidly; we don’t have 4 years to waste.

Very grateful the Kansas City Star was willing to publish my editorial calling attention to the climate crisis and calling on Evergy to close the Hawthorn coal-fired power plant.

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...

Sierra Club Statement on Chris Wright Confirmation Hearing for DOE Today, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will hold a hearing to consider the nomination of Chris Wright, an outspoken critic of policies aimed at curbing climate change and the transit...

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.

You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time. Angela Davis.

Don’t let anyone convince you that change isn’t possible.

- The critical need for the work this organization is doing to help make sure there are local pro-clean energy voices showing up in the right places at the right time (3/3)

If you are worried about climate change, a fantastic organization to start donating to! www.greenlightamerica.org

- The huge amount of clean energy infrastructure we need to build in a very short amount of time and the real risk local opposition by a few squeaky wheels can have to getting those projects built (2/3)

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)

What is the Working Families Party and how do we work?

WFP is you. WFP is us. Building power for our communities, together.

Here’s how.

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.

Of course that assumes that non-voters vote like voters in their area, which isn’t a great assumption, but could still be interesting to do an extrapolation of what it would look like if all adult voters in an area voted like the voters in their area, what would have happened in say the govr’s race.

Ah didn’t think about that with eligible voter counts, but % of total adult population would be interesting too! I’m basically curious how far a very big voter turnout game could swing things in Missouri writ large.

Would be interested to see voter turnout by neighborhood (percent of registered voters who voted and percent of eligible voters who voted). Would also be interested in seeing total counts of registered and eligible voters who didn’t vote by neighborhood (or whatever area the data is reported at).
