My latest for @rollingstone.com digs into Trump's $30 Billion in shutdown cuts targeting Democratic states and cities with painful cuts to public transit, energy, and fundamental civil rights protections.
The pain will reverberate throughout the economy.

In response to Trump, “fact-checking and satire are necessary. The fact-checking won’t convince any MAGA cultist, but it’s still important, in the face of authoritarian deception, to keep as close a record of history as possible.” @jeetheer.bsky.social

I disagree. These were historic amounts of money flowing from the federal government to states, localities, and nonprofit organizations.

Trump's policies are racist and sexist. Racism and sexism are exceptionally expensive, finds labor economist Valerie Wilson, director @epi.org Program on Race, Ethnicity, & the Economy. Her research finds that reducing discrimination is a financial boon for everyone, worth over $4,932 per person.

“The health implications are really significant,” Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) tells me. Clean transit and energy protect public health and the climate, reducing pollution and the carbon footprint, she says. “These projects were already authorized” by Congress."

My latest on the Shutdown Shakedown:
The Biden-Harris administration "went and listened to people in the community” to learn what projects were needed, “and financing flowed from those discussions,” Michele Roberts of the Environmental Justice Health Alliance.

10 years ago @jeffgoodell.bsky.social talked to President Obama about the climate crisis for a Rolling Stone cover. So much has changed but the threat remains and we simply haven't done enough.

Esp in context of this article, "'They Need to Suffer’: Inside Trump’s War on Dissent. After Charlie Kirk's murder, Trump expanded his war on free speech, the left, and ordinary Americans. It's going to get worse." by @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social

Been thinking about this quote from my 2005 book, The Bush Agenda, and how Trump keeps trying to entice "enemies" to attack.
Joint Chief of Staff Admiral William J. Crowe once told Colin Powell:
"First, to be a great President you have to a war. Two, you have to find a war where you are attacked."

These are no longer "warnings." The fossil fuel pollution is already destroying our air and atmosphere. The pollution is already filling our lungs. It's already killing people (as well as canaries and other animals and species). People are already running out of the mine in search of safety.

Yo! People concerned about the #climate crisis: time to drop the phrase "canary in a coal mine" to describe melting glaciers, skyrocketing insurance premiums, extreme weather events, etc. The term refers to harbingers of bad things to come in the future. The climate crisis is here right now.

Favorite line thus far on race & gender in @kamalaharris.com new book, 107 Days.

"Today he wants me to prove my race. What next? He'll say I'm not a woman and I'll need to show my vagina?"

On deciding not to take the bait in response to Trump's dog whistle attack that she "happened to turn Black."

“We’re going to take care of our people,” Trump said. “There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of, and we’ll take care of them in a different way.”
