What tech companies and utilities need to do is speak out against Trump's war on renewable energy. Despite the fact that renewable is right now the cheapest and quickest to deploy, Trump is sabotaging clean energy deployment resulting in higher costs and delays for everyone.

Trump Administration Issues Stop Work Order for Offshore Wind Project, Citing National Security Concerns - Inside Climate News The project was already 80 percent complete and slated to provide enough energy to power more than 350,000 homes.

"This hurts so many people. And why? Thereโ€™s just no justification.โ€ โ€”LCV's Kathleen Meil

Trump's decision to stop construction on Revolution Wind โ€” which was ~80% complete and would power more than 350,000 homes โ€” is just the latest reckless wastefulness from this destructive administration.

Trump is building an alliance with the world's dictators against the world's democracies. That's why Trump hates Western Europe and loves Putin, Orban and Bolsonaro. This is a global war against democracy and this is why Trump has declared war on the American People and called them the enemy within.

During the campaign Trump said repeatedly that Russia and China aren't our enemies, that the enemy is within. Well, if the enemy is within, that means Trump's enemy is the American People. Trump's war on the American People has begun with likely support from Russia, China and North Korea.

Overheard from MAGA Trump supporter: "Trump took away my food and health care, but at least he raped children with Epstein. What a selfless act! Maybe, if I'm lucky, he'll rape my kids too."

We have the agency. This is our Democratic Party and this is our fight against Trump's authoritarian turn. There is no Trump resistance without the Democratic Party. We are the Democratic Partisans working together that will end the Trump Regime and this is our moment to rise up. Let's seize it!

22.08.2025 21:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The Democratic Party is the resistance. Everyone opposed to Trump needs to stop complaining about the Democratic Party as if it is some external object that we have no control over. We are the Democratic Party. If we have a problem with the Democratic Party, it is up to us to address it.

The GOP has become the Putin Pedophile Protection Party. If you're aren't a billionaire pedophile or Putin, you're no longer welcome in the GOP.

Musk raised a lot of money from foundations and wealthy people concerned about climate change. Their investments have made him very rich. Musk is likely the world's greatest beneficiary of Woke Capitalism.

I know, for many, it's not hip or cool to be a partisan Democrat, but now, with democracy hanging in the balance, isn't the time to worry about style points. It's time for all of us to stuff our egos and become partisan democrats right now. If we don't, we're just surrendering to Trump.

This is a partisan moment. There is one thing standing in the way of Trump's authoritarian rule. The Democratic Party. Everyone opposed to Trump must become a partisan democrat today. Those that refuse are just aiding and abetting Trump.

What made this Trump Epstein bond such a lasting one? What does it mean when such as a vile character as Epstein describes Trump as lacking a moral compass?

Or, how about "Hide Your Daughters: Trump and Epstein are on the prowl"?

Now that Trump seeks to rule over us like dictator, I want more details about this extremely tight and historically significant relationship.

I was thinking of writing a film script depicting Epstein and Trump's adventures as they went out on the town in the 90s. I've come up with a few titles: "Trump and Epstein's Excellent Adventures," "Trump and Epstein: Pedophile Kings"

We've all seen the photos and videos of them together obviously enjoying each other's company. Trump even invited Epstein to his wedding with Marla Maples and it was Epstein who introduced Trump to his current wife, Melania. The men were tight.

I've been thinking a lot lately about Epstein's statement that he and Trump were best friends for over a decade. Epstein was one of the most prolific and notorious pedophiles in history and Trump was his 'best' friend. What did Trump and Epstein do together to cement such a lasting bond?

Solar isn't aesthetically pleasing to them because they find climate catastrophe aesthetically pleasing. There's something about widespread human suffering that makes them happy.

Fossil fuel companies are just trying to make a buck, but Trump wants his climate holocaust to happen quickly no matter the cost now or in the future.

When future generations suffer from unrelenting heat and drown in unprecedented storms, they will all blame Trump for doing everything he could, no matter the cost, to make climate change worse. This will be his legacy.

15.08.2025 20:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Trump wants to get rid of them because he knows they are climate solutions, solutions that will foil his plan of global destruction and climate chaos. Clearly, this has nothing to do with fossil fuel money and fossil fuel influence. Trump wants to make his climate nightmare to come true.

And for those who say this is about money. Who was Trump's biggest campaign contributor? A man who made his fortune in electric cars and clean energy, Elon Musk. Despite the money Musk gave him, Trump hates electric cars and clean energy.

That suffering, death and misery must be multiplied because nothing will make MAGA happier than the death and suffering of future generations. This will be their legacy. In the future all the stifling heat and people drowning in storms will be celebrated by the MAGA base.

We all need to pay more now and in the future because human suffering is a good thing that we need more of. For Trump that suffering is worth more than gold. We all need to pay more, right now, to increase that suffering.

15.08.2025 20:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

For Trump, ratepayers and consumers need to pay more right now because clean energy is the cheapest and easiest to deploy but clean energy must be stopped because it will mitigate future climate disasters. Then we can all pay even more in the future due to worsened climate catastrophe.

Exxon believes climate change is real and itโ€™s being worsened by fossil fuel emissions. Trump wonโ€™t concede either reality. He continues to call climate change a hoax and therefore, he argues no limits should be set on emissions. We need to drill baby drill without considering future generations.

Exxon is the largest fossil fuel company in the world and often the boogey man of climate activists. But it is Exxon that is telling Trump to not leave the Paris Agreement, not to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act and not to dismantle methane regulations.

That deadly Texas flood was no coincidence and just a taste of the death and suffering weโ€™ll see in the future thanks to Trump.

15.08.2025 20:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Literally hours after Trump signed the bill, a devastating flood hit central Texas in which at least 100 people died. A warming climate means rain storms hold more water which means lethal flooding events. All over the world we are seeing unprecedented flooding events super charged by climate change

Trump threatened to veto the entire bill, unless clean energy benefits were completely ripped out. Trump believes climate change is a hoax and by his actions, heโ€™s trying to prove it. The welfare of future generations be damned.

It delights him so much that he forced the Senate GOP to dismantle everything related to wind and solar in the recently passed budget reconciliation bill. And because the GOP is now a MAGA Cult, the GOP acceded to his wishes.
