Simply being vocal about #ClimateChange is enough. Supporting those taking action is even better. But obviously taking action yourself is the place of #RealHeroes. Please click the hashtag and search by user to see the many actions people are taking. Support them (re-posts and follows), join them.

Somehow or other, someone has decided that we need less human involvement in human services.
Possibly because computers are so compassionate.
Disability has always been costly it's just that the biggest service was mostly provided by women - for free.

#Privatisation of #PublicServices is a scam. You cannot make a public service better when you need to skim profit off the top.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

We need to fund science more fully so we can research methods to keep hurricanes away, and to educate people to understand that we can’t do this.
Kristi Noem: "Sir, you made it through hurricane season without a hurricane. You kept the hurricanes away. We appreciate that."

The new American dream: Buy a house, make it a home, save for the future, lose it all to a predictable climate disaster you weren't warned about because damage from Big Oil's pollution is now hurting real estate agent commissions!

#ClimateCrimimals are taxing your future for their profits.
You are, right now, paying Big Oil's $900 annual pollution tax, in the form of higher home insurance, higher health insurance, and higher electric bills for more air conditioning. These costs disproportionately burden the poor and will keep rising as long as the fossil fuel industry exists.
Climate Change Is Already Costing U.S. Households Up to $900 Per Year
A new working paper from a trio of eminent economists tallies the effects of warming — particularly extreme weather — on Americans’ budgets.
