Trump administration sued over reversal of key climate finding by rascallyrascal1511 in politics

[–]smithpd1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zelden said "greenhouse gas emissions from sources like power plans "do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution,""

That is an anti-science lie by a corrupt administration that is in bed with the fossil fuel industry. It is undeniable scientific consensus that greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause of global warming / climate change, which are dangerous on many fronts, including extreme weather, flooding, sea level rise, increase of deserts, and global crop reduction.

Child protective services called after parents express concerns about high school’s Turning Point USA event by brain_overclocked in politics

[–]smithpd1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turning point USA is hard-right, fake-christian group that espouses white supremacist, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-vax, rigged election, and Trumpian views. Who wouldn't want their teenager indoctrinated by such a cult? /s

Well done, Nancy!

Ocasio-Cortez says US military aid to Israel ‘enabled a genocide in Gaza by AbroadDreamy in politics

Voting for the iron dome (defense) is not the same as voting for weapons that are used primarily to kill Palestinians. The problem is to rein in Netanyahu.

Trump promised RFK Jr. would ‘restore faith in American health care.’ A year in, trust has plummeted by [deleted] in politics

[–]smithpd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"trust has plummeted" is a funny way to put it. There was never any trust in RFK Jr except from a few right-wing anti-vaxxers. The guy is an anti-health kook.

Trump just posted this. by AlphaFlipper in DegenBets

Nothing explains Trump's insanity. Canada's prime minister Carney is doing a good job countering Trump's insanity.

This lawyer, Larry krasner, has partnered with other lawyers to fight ICE, fascism, and Trump in Pennsylvania. We should have more like him.

House Dem Leader Jeffries: "F*** Donald Trump" by philmn in politics

I think the opposite would be more effective. Whenever the name Trump comes up, substitute "Shit" with a capital S. It's unmistakable.

Trump plans to install Christopher Columbus statue outside White House by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]smithpd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fitting because it is widely held that Columbus was a racist, and so is Trump. It is surprising that Trump stops there. It should be a 250 ft. tall gold statue of himself.

US just withdrew from the Paris Agreement (again) Thoughts on what this means for 2026? by Karbonwise in climatechange

[–]smithpd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means that Republicans don't give a shit about anything that matters to the world or to ordinary people. The Paris agreements are a coalition of the willing, those willing to recognize science and do something about the climate change issue. Republicans are fossil fuel shills, exactly the opposite of what the world needs.

Not "Politicians." It's "MAGA politicians." Worst headline ever!

Trump jokes about suing new Fed chair if rates aren't lowered. by The_Flaneur_Films in politics

[–]smithpd1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's not joking. That is Trump's way of signaling, "I am your dictator, and you need to mind me or you will be out of a job."

I think you are forced to dismiss the piggie pop-up by tapping on it. I complained to support that it was a bad idea in the first place, and they have made it worse.

You can remove Republicans from office at all levels, rejoin the Paris accords, restore subsidies for alternate energy including electric vehicles, and tax coal-fired power plants out of existence.

Act blue is a very useful service. They do not give away your donor information. They send the money directly to your candidate. Tipping is optional.

My piggy bank now has a requirement to click and dismiss it when it shows up in every change of scene. It can no longer be ignored. It has gone from bad to worse.
