Caroline Kennedy's letter to the Senate on her cousin RFKJr. is devastating. It is an absolute condemnation of his fitness for office, his lack of character as a human being and must have been deeply painful to write. Any Senator who reads this and votes for this man should be run out of office.

Let's organize, people.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽💻

Yes. Call your members of Congress and keep calling. We need other strategies but we at least need to do this.
